Thank You
Exactly 3 years ago now, development on MicroWorks would commence. Just two friends setting out to make their first game with high dreams and absolutely no clue how to reach them.
4 months ago, after a long battle with many bumps in the road and more mental breakdowns than we can count, MicroWorks would officially release to overwhelmingly positive reception. As of today, we have sold over 10,000 copies! This is a HUGE number for us that we do not take for granted.
So before we enter the new year, we just want to say thanks to every single one of you who has played our silly nonsensical game, every one who has recommended it to their friends, talked about it, streamed it, created content for it - everything you do is pure fuel for us.
And AS we enter the new year, you can be rest assured good things are coming. I talk about it a bunch and I still can't say what it is so, hopefully the next post we make will finally be the one to let you in on our secrets. Until then, stick around? :)
MicroRecap
So 4 months in, 10k players, how do the stats fare so far?
Rarest Achievements
#3 - Trivia Nerd
The third rarest achievement, with 0.3% of unlocks, is Trivia Nerd. You guys sure have the trigger fingers for getting Total Fragger, but not the brains for answering random anime & manga trivia, huh?
#2 - LPS Master
At second place, with 0.2% of unlocks, is LPS Master. At Update 1.05, we had to label gamemodes with difficulty levels, as we noticed a lot of new players kept naively selecting Last Player Standing because it sounded like a cool gamemode. They had no idea what they were in for.
#1 - Professional Frog
And the number one rarest achievement with 0.1% of unlocks, proudly holding that title ever since the release, is Professional Frog! Jetfrogs' traps are some of the trickiest, requiring good timing and control over your bouncy little pawn, so finishing the entire course within the time limit AND doing it flawlessly is definitely going to require a lot of practice - it's an achievement you have to actively fight for. But if you're one of those worthy few that unlocked it, mmm... you know what sweet victory tastes like.
Best & Worst Games
What are our best performers? Counting the accumulated win amount of each and every microgame and boss stage, these are the ones you guys dominate and struggle with the most:
Best Microgame - Shake It
Yup, not even Free Round! Shake It is the one you guys won more than any other microgame out there. You all shake it good.
Worst Microgame - Get On The Fewest Player Platform
You know when this one shows up, everyone's primal side wakes up. Pushing and fighting to dominate a platform is no easy task, and the amount of wins on this one reflects it.
Best Boss Stage - Jump The Rope
Surprised? I am at least, because that rug is a warzone. With 1,376 accumulated wins, Jump The Rope is the most popular boss stage.
Worst Boss Stage - Robot Rumble
Maybe boxing isn't the career choice for you. With 675 accumulated wins, Robot Rumble is the least popular boss stage.
Most Popular Workshop Items
A few years ago I made a post detailing our workshop system, and how I can't wait to see what creativity ensues from it. "Hope it's not all memes!" I said, haha.. heh.. (jk yknow I love those memes)
The most subscribed mods of the year are:
With 1,122 subscribers at the time of writing, everyone knows in MicroWorks you need drive, you need power. Stay hungry, keep devouring.
#2 - Walter White by Rodent Liberty
With 1,138 subscribers at the time of writing, I guess you guys really like pinning giant human heads on Kai. Unfortunately, I don't think "Cook Meth" microgame will be part of our DLC.
#1 - Caneta Azul no lado by eutreze
The highest subscribed workshop item with 1,452 subscribers at the time of writing - Caneta Azul no lado is... I have no idea. Our Brazilian fans adore him though, so whoever that funky cardboard man is, he is always welcome in our game.
Bosses Guide
I'd also like to wrap up by bringing to attention this great guide by dukernova! It is the ultimate guide to every boss stage in the game, with some hidden tips from the top of the top. Give it a read!
SO,
that's all for now folks! From everyone at Agiriko, we wish you a happy new year, with a "PASSED!" result on every one of your goals. We'll see you on the other side!
Reminder that MicroWorks is currently 80% off until Jan 5th, so if you still haven't gotten it for yourself or literally every single person you know, not much time left to get it at the best price!
