The Journey of Sum It! It started with a simple observation: I spent a lot of time on Reddit, and I loved the games. I started wondering if I could create some daily game...but for people who prefer numbers over letters.
The idea for Sum It! was straightforward: a clean, fast-paced math challenge that anyone could pick up in seconds, but that still offered a satisfying "aha!" moment.
Building with Devvit
When I saw the Devvit developer platform, I knew it was the right fit. I wanted the game to live directly where the community already was...no external links or extra apps required.
The development process was a classic "learn-as-you-go" experience. I spent my weekends:
Tweaking the logic to ensure every daily puzzle was actually solvable.
Refining the UI so the grid felt responsive and tactile.
From Concept to Community
Sum It! isn't just a game I built; it’s a daily challenge we all solve together.
