🔔 Game of (⁹√V·I·N·C·U·L·U·M)⁹! is tough and has a lot of unexpected math combos and in-game tricks to discover. Please reach us in Discord for any questions if you are stuck against powerful math attacks.

What do we want from you?

We are interested in hearing any and all feedback, as this will be the first time Vinculum will be shown to outside players. 

  • Tell us what parts of the game you find fun. 

  • Let us know if anything was hard to understand. 

  • What don’t you like? 

  • What would you like to see more of?

Where can I give feedback / submit bug reports?

If you have any feedback, best ways to let us know:

  • using Google Forms (link is in main menu of the game)

  • otherwise, feel free to use the Steam Discussion forums as well

During game you can activate visual debug overlay with Ctrl+H -> Ctrl+G cycling to record or screenshot problems better.

What to expect from beta version

This is a beta, which means there will be bugs and there are still missing content, art, balance, polish, etc!

We appreciate any feedback you have, even though it may be obvious. With that in mind, let me explain some of what is currently inside of the playtest, and some of what is still missing.
