Hi, thanks :) AGK is great, and has it’s uses. Nevertheless, I find it quite lacking as a game engine. My biggest issue is with the language itself, AGK Basic. It’s just too primitive. As a professional developer I found it very hard to work with, it fights you at every step of the way, lacking so many features.
If you want to make a really small game, or get started into programming, then AGK is great. For anything else, AGK gets outscaled easily.
There is a really impressive level of polish here. That you have the keys listed ingame is a nice touch. The music and graphics remind me of old console gaming, so there is a nostalgia factor there, too. Very cool!

Hi....I am looking for AppGameKit games on Itch.
The sound effects and the background music of this game are so nice!
Moreover, I can see the potential of the game. If you continue to develop the game, the game will be more popular.
By the way, AppGameKit looks quite excellent!

Thanks for your clear explanation! Your opinions are very helpful to a lot of new AGK users.
Many BASIC dialects can be used to develop games. Perhaps AGK is the most popular BASIC dialect in the modern world!
good fun, gosukiwi :)
Glad you enjoyed it :D

Thanks! Glad you like it! I was aiming for that feel so it’s good to know I got the gist of it :D
