I’m not saying this was easy - on the contrary, it was a very difficult task, but not impossible. So, there were no technical blockers (we won’t talk about the Haxe/Heaps engine here and that’s not my place to do so anyway). It’s an awesome platform with a huge reach and there’re already some awesome games on it and…Ok I’ll stop here, this is for another article (sorry, but I do love mobile). So, if you’re planning a Switch version, please have a look at mobile and see if it would fit.

The thing to know about mobile nowadays is that mobile devices are way more powerful than what a lot of people expect.
