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 few super satisfying moments back to back in PlinkIdle... So many Disco Balls, purple tier stones, and a buffed Multiball. 🪩

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.

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.
It's like the sun came out 💛

We're wrapping up our second milestone. Rombo started out as a tiny proof of concept, and has since grown into the larger shoes we hoped it would fill. Here's what we've added to the game since our first milestone...

Rebuilt the UI for Rombo's Settings Menu! 🤖
This was me learning CSS for the first time. After years of arguing that I would hate this and could not possibly learn it, it turns out I looooove it. I could do this all day. 😅
Who loves CSS? Who hates it? I want to hear your feelings!

Usually I'm not a patient enough indie dev while testing, trapped in this first level, to actually grow things in our sandbox game. I always stop playing and go back and fix some things, or pick away at the dev work. But today I made a point to have Rombo grow some things!
