Hi there, in this post I would like to give you some insight into how my business partner Julian (UX/UI Designer) and I (iOS/macOS Software Developer) created our new puzzle game “TipTapColor 2” in the last two months, starting with an idea, up to the finished game.

Most of us now these sliding puzzles, many of those…
