Update notes
- New game mode: Gauntlet of challenges
- You must win 20 duels. Some duels will reward you with random augmentations and powers.
- This new mode also introduce the notion of “profiles” so various players can save their progress.
- Powers and augmentations are now way more balanced (thanks Brian!).
- New options for duels:
- Storm – careful not to match the lightnings!
- Remove cannon balls – fight only with powers
- Remove repair tools – speed up duels
- Tweaked AI to prevent using some powers twice in the same turn that wouldn’t provide additional bonuses for being used twice.
- Fixed board interaction after a power ending your turn creates a match 4 or + combination.
- Fixed aircrafts getting off the screen after 2 consecutive explosions.
- Small random movement of aircraft correctly reactivated after an explosion.
- Bonus when matching chests is now applied to the block that was moved to create the match.
- Grammar stuff fixed (thanks again Brian!).

My journey from working on MMOs to releasing a match-3 game
about 2 months ago - 4 comments
Yeah I know. *yucchh* match-3 games … I believe in some countries people must exile themselves after building such game.
Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t a fan of match-3 games either. I never understood why so many people got excited about sliding gems around just for the sake of sliding some more gems around. I’m not one [...]

This new update finally introduces the notion of story in Bret Airborne. Why are you fighting balloons? Why are you building towers? Well those questions are starting to be answered. Still a work in progress but now it’s more than just shooting [...]

Finally you get to see what will be the campaign or story mode or the non-instant duel mode or whatever you like to call it. I’m not set on a final name yet as I’m thinking on adding more modes so just calling it “campaign” might [...]

FTL – A few tips to avoid rage quit
about 7 months ago - 1 comment
FTL is an odd game. Odd as I don’t usually enjoy such frustrating game but this one I can’t quit. Maybe it’s the theme. Maybe it’s the simplicity mixed with constant rewards. I’m now 60 hours in and I still have 2 ships (+ variants) to unlock so I’ll probably put another 10-15 hours before [...]
