Devlog #4 - ALPHA RELEASE!

ALPHA IS HERE!

Hello Players!

Firstly, we would like to say huge thank you for all of you who bought our game as a prototype. Money collected helped us to buy new assets. 

From now game is available for 2$ as we announced before.

Why do we change price? We add so many features to our game and spend spare time working on it. We would love to give you as much entertainment as we can, but we have to buy many things like assets and pay licenses for various software. Hope you understand our decision. We have so many things to add to Cubes and Whales! You help us achieve this goal :)

Since we had an introduction, time to talk about changes! 

- NEW INPUT SYSTEM

We implemented new input system so game is more optimised now if it comes to keyboard and mouse support.

- DELETED BONUS LEVELS

We've deleted two bonus levels to prepare...

- NEW 5 LEVELS OF BASE MODE

...brand new 5 levels of base mode. They have different settings, different number of cubes and different difficulty.

Let's smash the cubes!

- PAUSE MENU

If you want to go to the toilet, kitchen, walk the dog, just take a break we have pause system for you! Just press escape and feel free to go!

- RESTART LEVEL

Level is going bad? Just press escape to open pause menu and restart it!

- CREDITS AND SUPPORTERS

We've prepared credits and people who bought our game before early access are in Supporters section. If you bought our game just tell me what nickname should I put into credits text :) THANKS!

- LEVEL NAME DISPLAYED ON HUD

Our game is based on space theme. First five levels are called by Solar System Planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter are waiting for you.

- FIXED TIMER

Level timer has been fixed and show numbers properly now!

- LEVEL MUSIC

To increase your feelings we added different music to different levels. Now you will know when it's time for BOSS LEVEL!

- NOT TO EASY

Don't click on the background or blue cubes. You can't miss! Both takes time now :)

- SAVE YOUR VOLUME

Settings button is interactable now and you can adjust music and sfx volume as you wish. We implemented save system for that as well, so you don't have to do this each time you run our game

- GET YOUR POINTS

There is a point system which allows you to get or lose points base on what cube you clicked.

- BE THE KING

Since we have a nice score system we added leaderboards for level as well. Now if you have a new highscore, you will see confetti particles on the screen. What is more you can see other players' score so beat them and BE THE KING!

- MIDAS? Is that you?

There is 1% chance to get a GOLD CUBE on the map! You have only a bit more than a second to click it but it will give you 50 POINTS!!! WOAH!

- HELP ME

If you play for the first time or don't really know how things work - just click tutorial button before playing base mode. :)

- CHOOSE YOUR CHA... GAME MODE :D

We prepared choose game mode panel and for now there is only base mode but you can see two more buttons. Well, we will have new game modes soon :)

So that is everything what we have for you today. I think this list is quite impressive! Good job guys! We made it. Together - devs, players and testers.

See you in the next update :)

Love,

8bitJelly Team
