Qiyb2 v1.4 is now live! Here are the new features:

• Added new campaign levels, which approximately increase in difficulty (the higher the level, the higher the difficulty). The levels can be completed in any order, repeated any number of times and grant a reward on completion. They also act as a tutorial to the randomized free play game.

• Added two new cubes: an extra life cube that prevents penalties in case of character death (max 1 extra life, there is still a score penalty if hp goes to zero) and a peculiar marble cube that grants 10k points

• Added text effects for some cubes when jumping on them, and destroy text effects when a cube gets destroyed (there are different variations, even for bosses)

• The starting jump was made more fair

• Better shop functionality

• Shop texts were made clearer, particularly those containing numbers

• Refined pop up animations

• Enabled some new cube synergies

• Certain bosses were refined such that the battles are more fair and fluent

• Negation effect shows now on a banked cube effect

• The currency penalty on death was reduced to 5%, down from 10%, in freeplay randomized cubes mode

• One specific debuff cube now grants a stackable effect

• The hp nullifier cube now causes instant death if the player has no shield, otherwise deducts one unit from shield

• The cursor now works better with the volume sliders

• No malicious cubes for a few seconds on boss defeat

• There can now be random empty spaces between cubes in freeplay

• The initial time slow after character death was drastically reduced in length

• Using the deep dive mechanic now resets the cooldown of height reset

• Made a mechanic that resolved the frustrating accidental late time activation of skills after death

• Removed the unnecessary cd reset pop up animation during bosses, and also tweaked the pop up animations in bosses in general

• Fixed a bug where some numbers did not show up correctly in the shop

• Fixed a bug where height reset skill unlock screen button buys cd reduction stacks for the skill

• Fixed a bug where the point storm cube had a malfunctioning synergy with a certain cube type

Fixed an issue where, under special circumstances, you could not change equipment after winning a battle.

✨ "Until we meet again in the dream!"

– Lizard Smoothie💫

big news! we will be showcasing Checkmage! at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo on October 19th (sunday!), thanks to the people at PIGSquad setting aside some table space for us.

If you're in the area, come by and check out our game alongside a lineup of unique games from some other indie developers :)

save data may have been overwritten due to us changing how saving works. sorry fellas

big changes:

• undo button allows you to take back moves you make (unless you check the opponent)

• once checkmage! happens, you get time to inspect the board after a small visual effect demonstrates how you won

• strikes have been removed. player and enemy turns will be skipped when checked no matter what

• certain spells now can have multiple uses, which cause them to move to the discard pile instead of disappearing when played

gameplay tweaks:

• fissure will only affect default tiles.

• tiles can now only be placed on blank spaces instead of overwriting other tiles.

• melvin’s battle now has trapped tiles instead of trap pieces.

• melvin is nice to you if you don't expect his shenanigans

• whirlwind spell 1 → 3 uses

• agility spell 1 → 2 uses, 1 → 0 mana cost

• clauble has 5 regal pawns instead of 3. clauble has an additional knight in his deck.

• tweaked enemy decision-making. it’s now a little smarter, but hopefully not more difficult

• enemy regal piece in well can no longer be mana orb or egg. sorry!

• cell movement has been changed again, can move in 3 directions, capture side to side

bug fixes:

• fixed crash involving fortress (barricade effect) and drone (ink effect)

• compendium spells are now working and show the card art if you hover over them

• some <null> dialog glitchiness is fixed

• signature now saves ;_;

• you can now rematch characters without exiting the dialog tree and talking to them again

things we're still looking at improving:

• a way to view the enemy cards/deck in some capacity (will they cast a spell on you?)

• draw conditions are still odd and feel unrewarding, stalemates don’t allow the player to do anything but forfeit

• en passant……...........
