โค๏ธ THE STORY BEHIND ROACH RUNNER
Believe it or not, Roach Runner started as a birthday present!
When I first met my wife, Maria, she told me how much she absolutely HATED cockroaches. While riding her scooter around Lima, Peru, she'd make a little game out of squashing the ones she spotted on the sidewalk.
I never forgot that story.
Years later, I decided it would be funny to turn her real-life roach-squashing adventures into an actual mobile game as a birthday surprise.
And that's how Roach Runner was born!
What started as a simple, personal project has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined.
I'm the solo indie developer behind Asemi Studios, and Roach Runner is my first step into the world of mobile game development. It's been a fun, challenging, and sometimes ridiculous adventure bringing this little idea to life!
I'm always working on improvements, new ideas, and ways to make the game even more enjoyable. Your feedback, suggestions, and support genuinely mean a lot, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts!
Made with love, a little humor, and a healthy dislike of cockroaches.
So grab your scooter, hit the streets, and see how many roaches you can squash!
Ride. Squash. Repeat!
โ Asemi Studios
I'm actively working on bringing live, scrolling backgrounds to the game! In the meantime, please bear with me, share any feedback or ideas you might have, and most importantly... ENJOY THE RIDE! ๐ด
