Thanks for the inspiration. I just thought I'd say that your game is adorable.
I just recently released a tiny game as well (http://declanhopkins.com/asteroid-quest/), but it was only put on my website and I made it in a month. Regardless, it felt really good to get a game out after years of trying. I'm working on a new version of it now.

We're looking for an iOS developer to do some work on our app.
Must be competent with Swift 3, xCode Auto Layout, and HTTP (REST calls). Your duties would include working on a few features as needed, tightening up existing layouts to work on all phone sizes, and implementing layouts that have been pre-designed.
Please email a resume and any extra information we may need (a github or bitbucket profile, perhaps) to hopkins.declan@gmail.com.
However, programming, while a valuable skill in and of itself, sacrificing more fundamental academics in order to make room for it isn't the way to go.
