Another playtest in the books! First, thank everyone who played and provided feedback during this last one. I couldn’t make Kingdom Flipper better without you all!
Since then I’ve been creating a loose roadmap for the future, changing and adding features based on all the feedback I got and continue to get.
Here’s what's coming soon and planned for 2025!
In addition to what’s coming later, here's what has changed, been added, and fixed recently.
