History
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /customers/f/8/4/vorpal-games.com/httpd.www/Press/sheet.php on line 400I first came up with Rotation Station in 2007 as "Rotating 4 in a row", and played on paper during Chemistry lessons at school. I'd draw a grid in ink, and then people would add their counters in pencil. Every few turns, I'd rotate the paper 90°, rub out all the pieces and then draw them in again as if gravity had pulled them down. Smartphones weren't so prevalent back then, and I didn't know how to program, but 5 years later I learnt to code, and decided it was time to make my game. I made the game how I imagined it 6 years before, and added a single player mode to my engine, and that ended up becoming the biggest part of the game. A year and a bit later, I decided it was finally ready.
