I'm making ultra small games like infinite runners, and other procedurally generated generated games.

The problem is risk vs reward. Even a modestly sized game will cost millions since you need to compete with some of the biggest names in the industry.I really tried to make a graphically intense game with Unity's HDRP, but I'm still not able to match the polish of a AAA game.

Aside from that, there's too many games being put out right now. People only have so much time and money after all.

> I'm making ultra small games (...)

Hey, many of us like small/ultra small games!

I used to play a lot when I was younger (back in ZX Spectrum times), but now don't have the patient (or time) for big games that require any kind of commitment. For instance, I played occasionally sudoku on my tablet/phone and when I started to play a little bit more I bought this sudoku [1] for both Android and iPhone. I also play occasionally some games from these guys [2], namely "Smash Hit" and "Pin Out".

What are your games? Share a link, maybe one or two of us may get curious and play with it a little bit!

That's what really kills me. There are so many great devs out there making awesome stuff, and I can't **ing find any of it to play because I'm constantly being bombarded with terrible big corporate shovelware casino crap

ah well, I hope you strike it big!

I'm open to ideas on monetization.

I don't need to strike it big, 500$ a month would be more than enough to motivate me. Hell, 500 plays per month would be enough.
