You Got This, Brutadon is now available on your Alexa-enabled device

The game that I and my friends made for the Global Game Jam this year is now accessible on Alexa-enabled devices. If you have an Echo or an Echo Dot, you can find it on the Alexa Skills store. Just search for “brutadon” in your Alexa app. Like all Alexa skills, it is 100% free.

We’ve been having some trouble with people who want to install it via voice command. Because “brutadon” is not a real word that Alexa understands outside our app, the system doesn’t seem to be able to easily match that word to our app activation phrase (unless you’ve already got it installed on your device). The ways Alexa misunderstands the app name are pretty funny, though. (We had it hear “taco dog” at least once.)

If you get a chance to play it, please check it out and let me know what you liked or, better, didn’t like about it. One good place to leave a note is on our itch page.

I am very proud of this particular Amazon rating we got:
