THE FIRST MINIGAME VOTE RESULTS!
Our very first minigame vote has come to a close! Let's see the results! (Read about the minigames in detail in our previous post.)
🥉 At the third place, we have 👑 Royal Rumble 👑 with 8.3% of the votes!
🥈 At the second place, we have 🥶 Crumble Crisis 🥶 which got exactly 25% of the votes!
🥇 And at the FIRST PLACE, we have ☢️ Parkour Panic ☢️ with 66,7% (2/3!) of the votes!
Congratulations to everyone who voted for Parkour Panic! 🥳🥳🥳
It's been so exciting to involve the community in shaping our game in such a big way, and we plan to continue to do this more often. If you want to participate whenever the next minigame vote happens, join the Minigame Madness Discord! ❤️
Now onto the next segment:
NEW MINIGAME RELEASE ALERT
As seen in the previous segment, Parkour Panic won the first minigame vote, becoming our 10th minigame! Although we initially never planned to add the winning minigame right away, we decided to surprise you all when we discovered that the votes stabilized over Parkour Panic very early on! 🤩🫡
V0.6 includes our BRAND NEW solo-able WIP minigame called Parkour Panic! ☢️
We want to add as many different types of games to Minigame Madness as possible, and Parkour Panic stands out as our very first TRUE parkour game! Acid will slowly rise inside a hexagonal container, jump up on randomly generated parkour pieces to avoid dissolving in acid! 🤢
Parkour Panic has lots of playstyles, from slow-and-steady to high-risk-high-reward and more, we can't wait to see you guys compete against each other! 🤩
As with all WIP minigames, Parkour Panic is very early in development and will receive big improvements and changes over the coming weeks, yet players have already told us they're enjoying it big time! 😄
Improved Robot Ruckus
As you may have noticed, we haven't finalized production on Robot Ruckus yet, meaning we've now got 2 WIP minigames simultaneously for the first time in Minigame Madness history! Because of this, we've updated the look of WIP minigame thumbnails to allow you to easily distinguish them:
Furthermore, we've improved Robot Ruckus performance heavily and we believe it's sufficient now. We've also tried to fix kiting/cheesing again by making the pesky robots just a little smarter, again. We've also made them feel a little more dangerous by changing their blinking to sound more mechanical. 🤖
Robot Ruckus got at least one big feature left before we're considering it finalized, stay tuned! 🧐
Improved Face Case Drops
Face Cases too often dropped extremely mid faces like 🙂, 😐 and ☹️. We've adjusted the Face Case to drop Common faces (AKA mid faces) a bit less, therefore making Uncommon, Rare, Epic & Legendary faces drop more: 🤩🧐🥸😎🤡!
Stay Tuned
Stay tuned on all Minigame Madness news, by following us on Steam and joining the Discord community!
Have an epic day, or an average one! No pressure. 👋🏼
