The developer, who has been working on this project for several months, expressed a desire for players to download the game, enjoy it with friends, and provide feedback for future enhancements. Plans for the game include the introduction of private online lobbies, which are highly anticipated by the developer.

In response to questions regarding the price differences between platforms, the developer explained that this is due to the pricing structures of the App Store and Google Play. Prices are set in USD and automatically converted to other currencies, with Apple adhering to specific price levels that can lead to variations in final pricing. Google Play offers more flexibility in pricing, which can also contribute to discrepancies.

Players interested in the game can enjoy the free version, which is fully playable. The premium version is not mandatory, as only one player needs to host a lobby for others to join via a local network. The developer is available in the comments section for any questions or technical issues that may arise during gameplay, emphasizing a commitment to user experience and engagement.
