A Note from the Developer

Hello!

I created this little game as a personal project to explore the power and flexibility of Unreal Engine's Widget Blueprint system. My goal was to build a complete, functional game from scratch without writing a single line of C++ and without needing any 3D environment.

It was a fun challenge, and I'm happy to share the result with you. If you're a fellow developer, I hope this inspires you to see what's possible with Blueprints alone!

For those curious about the code and the Blueprint setup, the entire project is open source! You can explore the full project here:
