It turns out, there's a huge market for this! Had Glitch not been stuck on Flash and was able to pivot to mobile it may have been a success.

My daughter, her friends, her cousins, are all obsessed with Toca Boca (https://tocaboca.com/) which is nothing more than digital "barbie", a game you can play forever, fully powered by your imagination.

It's also the reason Minecraft is still so popular: it's a platform for creativity. Games don't always have to have an end-goal.



Thanks to the generosity of Stewart and Tiny Speck releasing all the artwork and other assets for the game into public domain, a few non-Flash versions of Glitch showed up. One, Odd Giants (https://oddgiants.com/) is particularly successful and worth checking out if you're a Glitch Fan.


I hadn't seen Toca Boca. My friend's niece plays on Everskies, which I believe is something similar.
