A game that glamourises game development.

Superdeveloper is a game development power fantasy in which players manipulate the environment with programming, art, and game design to take down an endless horde of enemies. Mechanics are designed to not only imitate basic actions associated with each of these disciplines, but also the unique ways of thinking they each appeal to and require.
