• Update 016 - Profiling - 14 September 2025

  We’ve packed Kabonk! with a ton of fun and exciting improvements! And did some profiling. Thanks Ari!Originally, we planned to release the game in September/October, and technically, that could’ve worked. But as we’ve said time and time again: a game is never truly finished. Sure, there are plenty of "finished" games out there, and Kabonk! is, in a sense, complete. But like any development project, there’s always room to make it better: tweaking gameplay, refining code, boosting FPS, adjusting particles, enhancing VFX, and so much more.Over the past few months, with the extra time we’ve had, we’ve polished not only the visuals and game flow but also the fun* factor. Oh, and we’ve significantly boosted performance: we’ve even doubled the FPS on some machines! Why? Because why not? Why wouldn’t we aim to make this gameplay-heavy game run as smoothly as possible?Dusting OffWe pulled some o…

• Update 014 - A release, the release - 1 September 2025

  We've continued to improved the game, make it more accessible, more enjoyable* and more polished. And the biggest addition is probably the Endless mode! But more on that later.The finally final art of the Steam assetsAka, the famous Steam capsule. I know that most developers would yell at us for being waaaay to late for this and I can do nothing but agree. But. Better late than never**. So, if you are looking for Kabonk! here is how it should look now! Thanks to our amazing friend Djanilla for making such a beautiful artstyle.

  Tuut, tut tut tuuut, tut tut tuuuuut! You get the vibe. Here is one of the many final countdowns updates. Because as mentioned before, we are never done, but we are (super) close to playable.

• Update 010 - eye candy - 2 August 2025

  Hello Brick Breakers fans. The longer we are in this classic zone to more related games we find and all are special in their own way, so I made a little shout-out to some of them below. But for now, not the biggest update but perhaps the most visual update since a while. Here is some eye-candy!We are finalising the game menu, or more specifically, the level select. Still with our stubborn approach :). Welcome to Kabonk!When you first enter the 'level select' you will see three major themes stand out. Without to much words, just enjoy some motion.We have achievements!No longer a secret, no longer a work in progress*.

• Update 009 - Curves, a DeepDive - 15 July 2025

  In this post, we'd like to delve a bit deeper into how we used interest curves to enhance the game without adding a ton of new features. This deep dive will contain spoilers, so please skip it if you want to keep the surprises for when you play the game.Interest curvesAn interest curve is a method to keep players engaged and invested in your game by creating various ups and downs with moments of excitement. We highly recommend reading "The Art of Game Design" by Jesse Schell. In short, it's all about pacing the game around a curve that looks something like this:Curves for the gameWe're planning to have different 'worlds,' each with 5 levels. If we overlay that onto an interest curve, a peak could be on worlds 1, 3, 5, 7 and so on, with each peak slightly higher than the previous one. If we were to rank them based on a score from 1-10, it might look something like this:WorldScoreWorld 16…

• Update 008 - gears - 5 July 2025

  A little grind here, some refactor there, something new everywhere! A little late update, but a huge one for sure.While games are awesome to play, see and even to design, there are a lot of gears turning to make it all work. One extra gear added and the whole machine slows down or even comes to a halt. It is the way development is and sometimes you have to grind your way to make it all work (again).Luckily for us, our machine runs smooth and it is not the most complex system out there. Not to say things aren't breaking or need a rework, quite the opposite: fun is only there if you can play it. And sometimes we aren't making fun things, so we changing gears and make it fun.So, this is some of the fun we've added:Power upsWe have revamped the drop chance for power ups. Now power ups are spawned based on the level and world so we can more gradually introduce them. The reason is that some o…

• Update 007 - And, go! - 13 June 2025

  Our initial 'release' on Steam was the demo we launched a few weeks ago. Perfectly timed for Steam Next Fest, but with enough leeway to keep the stress at bay.But let's be honest, it was a bit nerve-wracking. All those new experiences and firsts can make us a bit on edige. For what it's worth: it has given us even more respect for our fellow game developers. It is a lot of work.Since talking about Steam Next Fest: We've added a few games on the bottom that caught our attention.But first things first... Here's an update.LeaderboardsWe've added Leaderboards for each level (currently, 50 in total!). It's pretty awesome to see your name set in stone for others to see.Sticky effectWhat's a brick-breaker without the 'sticky' upgrade? Exactly, not a brick-breaker! Here's an early concept.Pushing some limits.ShieldAnother small but essential upgrade is increasing the paddle size (or decreasing…

• Demo v0.2 - 21 May 2025

  Hello! Just a small update with some visible changes! First of all, thanks for playing the demo! It is soo cool to see and know people actually playing a game you have been working on so long. Even if it is 'just' a demo. Luckely we have no big issues as of yet but there are some small chances: Leaderboards are now visible in game (top 3) Improved Ping Pong effect on higher-end systems Removed jittering on larger resolutions If we missed anything.... let us know! Until next time.
