The more complex the puzzle mechanics and additional features (like multiplayer options, leaderboards, and unique levels), the higher the development cost.
Costs vary based on the platform—developing for mobile alone is less costly than creating multi-platform games for iOS, Android, and consoles.
High-quality, custom-designed graphics and animations increase the budget.
Hiring a team with experience in puzzle game development impacts the cost.
Post-launch expenses like bug fixes, updates, and additional levels or features need to be budgeted.
