We develop our stuff to alpha on a PC and then "port" them. Doesn't take long.

Ok, I understand. What I meant was, is the cost of optimizing it for Android higher than iOS? Cause Android has a much wider hardware/software range.

If its the same, then you should really do some writings. Lots of devs look down upon Android and say it is hard developing for Android, piracy bla bla bla. Yet you show otherwise, and that you can in fact make more on Android!

You can change such perception!

It doesn't take long now, but it's been a long road and we still get occasional complaints about compat. It's not an easy option though to be fair, fragmentation is a nightmare.

Ikaruga just became available but it might only be available on the Japanese play store. Tried to buy it but no joy for us shmup fans.
