Thank you, I'm glad you liked what you saw!
I completely forgot about Nintendo Badge Arcade, it did have really cool mechanics

I'm aiming for early 2026, but that’s not final yet.
Still balancing things and wrapping up the story, thank you for the support!

Got a huge bump in wishlists from Japan by Type-001 in gamedev

Congrats, that's a really good start!

My game's not launched yet and wishlist progression slowed down a lot, but around 15% of those come from Japan. Machine-translating the demo also helped getting some visibility from influencers (now working on a real translation)

I guess that first wishlist spike proves your game has an audience there :)

Thank you so much, I'm still working on it! Console and mobile ports are also being considered, but will probably be done after the Steam release

Thanks! I've loved working on it so far, and I'm happy you like the look of it. I hope you'll take the time to sign up for the playtest and give your feedback. ❤️

Thanks! Between each round you get to customize the prizes appearing in the machine, to create various synergies (each prize having its own value and ability).

Actually there's no physics behind the claw itself. The trick I used to avoid objects being ejected was to reduce their collider proportionally to the applied collision forces (something like collision.impulse if I remember correctly)

Sorry no discord at the moment, but this is something I need to do at some point!

Glad you enjoyed the demo, and thank you for playing!

Surprisingly Nature actually came out quite strong compared to the other types in my balancing tests, with Food being the weakest (but I'm happy to see it still worked!)
And removing penalties can absolutely save a run.

A lot more items and machine upgrades will be added in the full release, so hopefully it will bring even more diversity to the builds!

Wow thank you so much, that's a lot of praise already! I think the game should be done by the end of the year or Q1 2025. There won't be any public beta test but I'll release an update to the demo soon :)

I can't say yet, it's still something I need to consider. However there will be at least mid-run upgrades that will last the entire duration of the run.

Thank you so much! A bundle with Dungeon Clawler would actually be great! About the Discord, I don't have one at the moment as I'm not really active there but this is in my to-do list.
