Thanks a lot for playing and for the clear feedback! You were right: most players were only breaking 1 or 2 piñatas in the first party. I've just uploaded v0.7.1 with a gentler first party: the piñata swings much less and more slowly, it breaks a bit sooner, and you get 5 extra seconds. Hope your next first party goes much better! 🪅
Tried the new build (v0.7.2) and the first party feels much better now: I broke a piñata straight away and building a x12 combo with the broom was really satisfying. One small idea: the tip bar sits at the bottom, away from the action, so a quick pop near the star on your first critical hit might help it click sooner.
Thanks for testing again! Really glad the first party clicks now (and a x12 combo with the broom is no small thing). Great idea about the star: v0.7.3 is up. After your first piñata, a label pops up right over the ⭐ ("Aim at the star: x2 damage!") until you land your first critical hit, and that first critical explains itself just below the piñata. The bottom bar is still there for the basics. Thanks a lot for helping shape the game!
Also, the full version is coming soon to itch.io, and when it's out I'd love to send you a free key so you can play it all. Consider it a thank-you for all the help!
The full version is out now! 🎉 As promised, I have a free key ready for you.
I tried to send it to you by Bluesky DM, but it says you can't receive messages from me. Where would you like me to send it? It could be email, Discord, or you could open your Bluesky DMs for a bit. Just tell me what works for you.
Thanks again for helping make the first party better!
Sent! It just went out to games@onomogo.com from wildgg74@gmail.com, subject «Your Piñata Fever key (full version)» — if it's not there, have a peek in the spam folder. Thanks again for the star-pop suggestion, it made it into the full game. Hope you enjoy it, and do tell me anything that feels off!
