Greetings Cascadiers,
The team has been hard at work and have LOADS to share with you on what we have been cooking up over the last few months.
We have been testing the game internally and gathering feedback on the current state of the gameplay. We have identified several key mechanics of the game that were not working as intended, so we have spent some time adjusting these and adding more to the game.
The main way we wanted players to score points was by pushing coins off the platform to earn tickets, but due to the amount of coins on the platform and the current abilities in the game, we found that not many were being pushed off. In fact, the main way that players would earn coins would be to hit the pegs as the coins fell down, which raised some flags. To tackle this, we decided to remove the points you get from hitting the pegs. We decided that collecting coins is the best way to earn points and is a more fun experience, along with landing in the side tunnels and completing quests. We are still tinkering with this and would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section. To balance the loss of points from the pegs, we have made it so more coins appear on the platform during each round. We are currently testing the best amounts, so the game continues to be engaging and challenging.
We’ve also worked on adding a variety of new abilities, which we think will really affect the gameplay experience in a positive way. The abilities focus on disruption and introducing even more coins to the play field, allowing you to hit those big scores!
The current abilities in progress are:
Pyramid
DiscoBall
Lightning Strike
Sea of Sand
Summoner
Pillary (Tower Stack) And more.. We look forward to showing you them soon.
Now that we are back to self publishing, we are excited to launch our game soon. Please join us in our discord and give us your feedback as we navigate Early Access.
