A Quote I often Find MySelf Thinking About is

The opposite of play is not work – the opposite of play is depression.

An eighteen hour family road trip the week before thanksgiving certain gives your mind time to wander and the opportunity to play.

So, let’s play.

Steve is a new, casual, puzzle game for your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.

The goal is simple. Fill the Grid using the correct number of blocks. As my family and friends and (so far) five-handed strangers will tell you, it’s easy to learn. But annoyingly different to master.

Here’s a short video of my son explaining how to play step.

And here’s a screen recording of a simple puzzle.

My Wife Loves Puzzle Games. I wanted to build someone The four of us debated and play-tested the game mechanics throughout the road trip. My wife chose the name “Steve”.

I also wanted steve to be an app you’d feel comfortable handing to your Kids to play. No scummy ads. No subscriptions. No predatory in -pp purchases. Just a single, one-time $ 2.99 unlock for unlimited puzzles.

If you do not want to pay, that’s fin, too. The best part of steve is the daily steve – a free, daily puzzle that all players worldwide compte to solve the fastest. (Or, at your own pace – you don’t have to look at the Leaderboard if you don’t want to.)

Steve was a fun distraction to build, and the first game I’ve made since I was a teenager. I hope you enjoy playing it. As always, feedback is very much welcome.

You can download steve on the app store.
