About a week ago, I tried to download one of their games but for some reason, every single game/app they ever released is completely missing from the Google Play Store. I can’t even download them through my library. I tried sending them an email but they never responded. Both their social media and their website seem to be abandoned and mention nothing about their sudden disappearance. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a developer just completely disappear like that, does anyone know what happened to them?

Also, because it’s relevant to a recent movement* and I feel like mentioning it, the game I was trying to download was Lophis Roguelike:Card RPG game. I bought this game a few years ago but it didn’t work on my tablet, so I added it to my backlog of android games, thinking that I could eventually try it on a different device. Seeing that this game is no longer officially available, this is a game that I payed for but never got to actually play.

*The movement I’m referring to is stopkillinggames.

    Eh, they’ve been erratic for over a year now. Saves don’t always load, and it isn’t like them process was ever smooth. There was a point not long breathe before that where it disappeared from the play store the a few months as well.

    It kinda sucks because as meh as parts of the game are, it’s still a fun timekiller.

    Truth is though, if you can find a modded version, you’re better off because of how iffy it is getting it to recognize your progress on new devices.

    If it comes back, or you find a modded version, be aware that it has a lot of issues. Bad card descriptions, glitches, poor balance, etc. And that’s coming from someone that enjoys the game.
