The build for Win x86 and Android ARMv7 is available in the releases section.
- Unity3D 2022.3.10f1.
- Unity UI interface.
- Architecture based on Service Locator.
- Async/await via UniTask.
- Reactivity through its set of Observable < T > scripts.
- Animations via EasingFunctions.
- Music and sounds are delivered via Asset bundles, assembly via Asset Bundle Browser.
- Input via the (New) Input System.
- Localization via mine own plugin. I compiled it into a Dll and put it in the plugins folder so that the project could run in a third-party environment.
Initially, the project was done as a test task. Even the repository has been preserved. Later, I wanted to finish the project. After the publication (May 2023), I saw that users liked the project and decided to develop it. With each release of a new version, the game session time grew and grew. I stopped development because I couldn't keep coming up with ideas for this scale of the project. But all this time and to this day (February 2025), the project has been bringing in a pretty penny.
Entry points to the project:
- Registrator. Registers services in the Service Locator from the start of the application. Due to the
[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod]attribute, startup does not require an object on the stage, and there is also a call toAwake()on the stage, which removes the need to wait for initialization. - Gameplay Controller. It's hanging on the Main Camera (number 1 below). In fact, it switches game states, smoothly disabling the previous one.
The whole game takes place on one stage. The project consists of 2 gameplay components:
-
Bubble shooter. The player's field and tools are number 2 in the hierarchy. Field Component. Algorithm for finding neighboring loot inside the field. Tools folder
-
Merge. The field and tools are number 3 in the hierarchy. Codebase folder.
-
4 - canvas menu.
-
5 canvas tools for bubble shooter (shot, bomb, laser and multishar). It is used in "endless" mode and "survival" mode.
-
6 - canvas advertising another puzzle app.
-
7 - settings canvas.
-
8 - Overlay with an ad timer, used in "infinite" mode and "merge".
Each game mode uses its own canvas. In the hierarchy it is:
- 9 for the infinite;
- 10 for survival;
- 11 for strategy and
- 12 for merger.

Q: Why is the project uploaded in a single commit?
A: I'd like to note that I don't do this anymore.
When I was first learning Git, I broke a couple of my projects midway through the development cycle. At that time, I decided to develop projects without Git, which seemed quite acceptable: I was developing alone and maintained backups on an external hard drive for safety.
With work experience came the need to interact with colleagues. Now I use Git (or any other VCS) comfortably, try to create branches for features, and resolve merge conflicts.
