Apple has a policy of removing apps that haven't been updated in a few years, even if they still work fine. I don't have the resources to relearn deprecated build pipelines for Adobe AIR, so it's out of my hands. After the death of Flash and then its similar removal from Google Play, this was the last place you could still play the game. After it gets taken down in February, it probably will never be widely available anywhere again. 4 comments
Update: I was vaguely aware of FlashPoint (https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/) but assumed my games were too obscure to have been included. I'm informed I was wrong! Not only is These Robotic Hearts of Mine there, but also a whole load of jam games I made in Flash from 2009-2013 and even some Java web applet games from 2006-2008?! I really assumed those were even deader than the Flash games. What a fantastic thing this is  @draknek Sometimes the various communities on the internet surprise you. I made a couple zx spectrum games a few years back, and more or less forgot about them, but later stumbled upon playthroughs on youtube and map screen captures and whatnot.. |

It's not a perfect game, and quite different to what I would have made from the same idea today. But it was deeply influential to my path as a game developer - I don't think I could have got to where I am now without it.
Last year I tweeted some more about the game and its development history for its 10th anniversary: https://twitter.com/Draknek/status/1463235073029951493
