We've added a music track to PlinkIdle, and captured a nice moment in the Sea level with lots of rare and disco bubbles. A little progress at a time while we debate the direction of the game.

A super rare Gold Ball lights up the scene like the sun.
This is some of our WIP in PlinkIdle. A floating number to show balls collected vs coins, moved the ball-o-meter, and improved the UI. And a preview of the new stacking buffs!

For #ScreenshotSaturday, here's a peek at our Neon stage in our idle game PlinkIdle. It starts dark and quiet, but spend some time here and soon it blooms with light.
Sharing some of PlinkIdle’s glowy Neon stage updates as we build this chaotic little game.
Are there bugs? Yep.
Are the peg costs busted? Mhm.
Is that why some stuff didn’t make the demo on itch? You bet.
But we’re still loving developing this sparkle madness. ✨

In PlinkIdle, a gold ball is worth 100x what a regular ball is worth, multiplying against every peg and bucket it hits.
Our tech artist created an effect that lights up the scene when a gold ball falls.
