Devlog 5 - Winning Smart, Playing Dirty!

Welcome back to another Patchkins Party devlog!

Last time, we talked about how the track changes when you crazy players start messing around too much!

And with our new players heading into the Demo (which is available here, by the way!)

Now is the time to answer a very important question:

How do you actually win in Patchkins Party?


Beyond the Finish Line

We knew early on that we didn't want Patchkins to be a simple race where the fastest player wins every round. So sometimes... You can win while already dead. 💀

And I know you're thinking: "But Patchbro, how do I win if I'm dead?!"

Well, I'm here to spill the tea! So listen up!


Different Ways To Score

Patchkins Party uses multiple scoring types during a match. That means every round becomes its own little mind game.

Here are some of the ways you can score:

  • Solo Finish - Reach the finish alone and claim the spotlight.

  • First Finish - Cross first while at least 2 or more players in the field!

  • Autopsy Finish - Yes, this one is real. If your corpse reaches the finish line... it still counts.

  • Best Drawing - The best and most precise drawing will yield points!

  • Coin Finish - Bring the coin object to the finish and secure the score.

  • Snowball - Everyone scores points if a player doesn't score in two rounds.


Winning Isn't Always Pretty

The scoring system rewards creativity and risk-taking. If a player has lost in the early rounds, they still have a chance to recover later in the game; likewise, a player who runs perfectly can also be punished if they make a mistake.


Comebacks Matter

We wanted matches to stay competitive and unpredictable from start to finish. That is why comeback mechanics matter; it's possible to recover from a few bad rounds! And honestly? Some of the funniest moments come from players who looked completely screwed five rounds ago.

Don't give up early, lil bro! This ain't over until it's over!


One Winner Only

Now for the most serious business of all. If players end the match with equal points, the game moves into a tie-break round. There can only be one winner. 😈

We hope this gave you a better look at how scoring works behind all the chaos.

Now get out there and manipulate the system in your favor!
