Gnomber is now complete!
We will continue updating the game if we get feedback from you saying you want more, so please tell us what you think!
We've added loads of new stuff for our 1.0 release. Here are some of them:
New Playable Gnomes
Each gnome has unique abilities that change the way you approach the game.
New Areas
Each area has different structures, enemies and challenges to overcome. We renewed the old areas as well with new stuff.
Stats and Unlocks
As requested by gnombers around the world (that's you!), we've added more information on unlockables and stats in the game. You can keep track of what you've unlocked and what's left to unlock from relevant menus in the game.
Everything else we added
- Added "keep bomb" to gain bomb screen, which lets you keep your bomb, but doesn't increase your stats. Highly requested from our gnombers!
- Achievements now work on MacOS
- Added Steam Cloud support. Gnomber save data will be saved across devices with different OSes
- Added separate stats screen ("View Stats" from pause and game over menus)
- Buffed movespeed of all gnomes
- Buffed health of all gnomes
- Made all the early-game areas easier. The difficulty now ramps up slowly with each area
- Added support for unconventional and rare joysticks/gamepads. If your gamepad didn't work correctly before - now it probably will
- You can now play the entire game with just your left hand on the joystick thanks to the new mappings. The bumper and the trigger can be used for selecting and bombing respectively. The same can be done on the keyboard
- Pressing ESC (or "start" on gamepads) now goes back in every menu
- The unlock notification now shows a preview of the new thing you just unlocked
- Newly unlocked bombs will start appearing in the same playthrough
- Added a controls preview for first 10 seconds of the game at the bottom-left corner
- Window icon and title work at bootup
