Hello, this is my first Steam page announcement! It'll be the first of many. Anyways...
Reminder that the game releases April 14 for free! You should wishlist it while you wait.
I also wanted to provide more info about the game and it's future once it releases. So here's an FAQ! (Well, they aren't frequently asked, but still important to know.)
FAQ
What platforms will the game be on?
Windows only for now. I may add Mac if enough people want it. Each platform I export for costs money, so I'm not going to port it to tons of devices.
How long does it take to complete?
In a first time playthrough, the four main worlds will take you roughly 20 minutes. However, the Bonus Levels and Extreme Gauntlet require a few hours at the least.
Is there a tutorial? The platforming looks a little confusing.
The first five levels contain helpful tips that'll teach you the basics. It's easy to get the hang of!
Will there be updates or future content?
Yes! I plan to roll out bug fixes and additional levels over time. There are a few other features I'd like to add at some point, like a co-op mode and controller support. But no guarantees yet!
Is the soundtrack going to be released anywhere?
Yes, on the same day as the game's release! It'll be free to download on my Bandcamp page. I even remastered and expanded all the songs a little bit.
Are there any Steam integration goodies, like achievements?
Yes, there's currently 12 achievements for you to unlock! (Each one has a circle-related pun for its name, which took an embarrassing amount of brainstorming to acomplish.) Leaderboards and cloud saves are both things I'm interested in supporting as well but aren't included at the moment.
What are your thoughts on the ever-dividing bipartisan sociopolitical climate in the United States?
I think both sides should play Luckie Ball.
That's it for now. I'll be sure to post handy announcements like these before and after launch. Thanks for taking interest in Luckie Ball, and I hope you enjoy it when it releases!
