Devlog #004: We’re on a Roll

Welcome to another instalment of our highly anticipated devlogs. This time we discuss how we’ve taken some of your feedback and made the players experience feel better. Now all our planned content is complete we are shifting our focus onto balancing and optimising the game. Aside from that we’ve got some incredible exciting news coming soon so keep an eye out on all out social outlets.


Major Changes:

Implemented Steam Achievements:

A game wouldn’t be complete without achievements for all you hungry completionists out there. Now we’ve made a butt load ready for you to challenge yourselves and figure out new ways to play the game.

Improved new player experience:

Based on your feedback we’ve improved some of how the game relays information and teaches you. Instead of the dedicated tutorial we’ve created video tips and hints to give you information when you need it.


Don’t worry about forgetting any of the basics or little tricks you might have picked up in the tutorial, you can access any of the tips or hints at any point.
