About

Feature Creep

Features
Read full description

Feature Creep is an arcade game about defending a small piece of software from the people who love it. Bugs come out of the walls and you squash them with your thumb. Between sprints, management hands you three new features and makes you pick one. Every one of them makes the graph go up and your life worse. There's no version of this where you win. There's a version where you last eleven sprints and feel briefly excellent about it. What's in it: a desk with a real mess on it. Power-ups named after things that actually save projects, like Hotfix, Rollback and QA Sweep. An economy that runs entirely on coffee. Boss bugs with names like "mobile build bricked itself" and "analytics pipeline is possessed." A mug that says WORLD'S OKAYEST DEVELOPER. A daily leaderboard called Today's Okayest Devs, so you can lose competitively. Made by one family in Ankara. If it breaks, mail us: irezapps@gmail.com.
