Upgrading to #Godot 4.7.2 and Xcode 27 broke the iOS export again. Pasting "Apple Development" into the Code Sign Identity Release field fixed it for me.

I absolutely do that, but in C# so I can use brackets for the condiments.

Now if we could just do a 180 degree rotation of the UK each day, everyone would be a lot happier.

Twitch streams where the "game developer" is prompting an LLM for 5 hours are an absolute must watch ... said no one ever.

Building any kind of UI with Godot is more painful than CSS, it's incredibly unintuitive #GameDev

Nah, they also disappear over time. If you have one or two of a three ingredient set collected and just wait on a platform, they change back to being uncollected again.

Rocket Ronz @rocketronz.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
I like it but why do already collected fruits disappear from the ingredients? It’s like a timer within a timer and feels a bit unnecessary.

Yeah, that is the problem. Just tried my route on an iPhone 16 and there’s no way I’m getting above that left avalanche. Never mind, you’re top of the leaderboard anyway 😎

Rocket Ronz @rocketronz.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Only thing I can think of would be the avalanche trigger being very slightly different based on the screen resolution. I'm using an SE 2020, which is squarer than most modern iPhones. I'll need to buy a newer phone 😏

Now that is interesting. Some very different scores there, so still lots of gains to be made.

I was very surprised you beat my level total, thought I had shaved off as much time as possible. Glad you enjoyed the game though, and thanks for the review 🐧

Rockhopper has been on the App Store for 20 months now and has an abysmal 232 downloads. It's still pretty cool though, when someone puts in the effort to kick the dev from the top of their own leaderboards #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot
