Shop Bulletin 2 — From the Desk of Bob

From the desk of BOB - Owner of 8bit Salvage and a genuine moon rock.


Ok. This time I'll be reading from some note cards Randy gave me, so if anything doesn't make sense, just put your complaint in the box.


Randy improved MY goo formula even more! Goo can now spread across the entire sprite. This did remove the old acid peeling, but we... ok, Randy... improved the normal auto-peel formula to make up for it. Also, my allergies seemed to have improved.


The roller launchers spin slower now. Nobody got dizzy. I want to be clear about that. They simply rotate at a more professional speed.


The roller brushes are slower too. Which is good. They were moving so fast before, I think some of the pixels didn't realize they were being cleaned. Now they have more time to think about it.


The last few pixels on a sprite now leave together, as one clump. Randy's card calls it "efficiency." I call it a carpool. Either way, stop scrubbing - they'll come to you.


We gave the upgrade numbers a full tune-up. Most things are cheaper, or stronger, or both. If the job feels better now... you're welcome.


The fourth milestone is now ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Randy's card says a bigger number is supposed to be "more motivating," but I think he just likes things in predictable patterns. That's why I've been able to dodge everything he's ever thrown at me.


Ok, remember that interrupt button that Randy made? He said it "wasn't doing enough" and that he was going to "improve" it. I tried to tell him that my wisdom needs to be heard, but I was only able to say "Randy" before I decided to stop speaking.


When you pause the game, everything quiets down. It was just too noisy with those shiny sprites constantly ringing. Honestly, I thought it was me.


Oh! I need to cancel that appointment now.


Well, that's all the cards, and you know me. I don't like to speak off the cuff.

- Bob

So, I just heard that our shop will be part of Steam's Next Fest in 7 days. Randy told me that this is a "big deal", that I should ask everyone to "wishlist us", and to "quit putting everything in quotes". Oh... We have a few improvements for the demo that I wanted to share. Yup! No note cards this time, at least none that I'…Major update21 Sep 2026Shop Bulletin 3 — From the Desk of BobFrom the desk of BOB - Owner of 8bit Salvage and a slightly used set of Emeril knives. Ok, everyone. This time Randy gave me a lot of note cards. He says they're in order, but I'm not sure if that was before or after I dropped them. Randy's Runes Anyways, let's start with Randy's new toy. I know there were at least 3 cards in here about it.

I've completed speech therapy. They say I'm still tone-deaf, but that's just a matter of practice. You may now interrupt me while I'm talking. Randy installed a button. I've chosen not to take it personally. The big speeches stay uninterruptible — those are my art. Randy changed the sprite solution.…
