🦊BLOBUN IS FINISHED AND YOU CAN PLAY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!

It officially launches on March 12th, but since it's been in Early Access on itch, you can play it right now. All of the puzzles, music, graphics, and everything else you'd want in a game are all in there. The game is finished! We want to thank everyone who supported us on Kofi and Patreon, everyone who cheered us on, and everyone who's been testing out the game and letting us know what's wrong (or right) with it.

If you don't own the game, you can pick it up right now and get yourself a Steam Key for when it releases next week! If you load your save file from itch on the Steam version, you'll get any achievements you've gotten too.

Note 1: It still is marked as "In development" on itch, but we'll change that on the 12th. Again, the game is complete!

Note 2: Steam keys don't come with the California Fire Relief Bundle, sorry.

Disclaimer 1: You'll Be The First To See It

We should say though that, although it's version 1.0, it hasn't been fully playtested. If you play it right now you'll be like the canary in the coal mine. However, everything should be all good! We played through the entire game and nothing weird happened.  We've also done our best to make sure all the puzzles are fair and not too challenging, and they *are* all solvable, but if you spend more than 10-15 minutes on any one puzzle and the hint isn't helping you, please let us know!  We can go ahead and look at the puzzle and see about adjusting its difficulty if need be.

Disclaimer 2: Missing Features and Bugs

We're aware that there's some obscure bugs with the game, and we weren't able to finish input remapping in time. We can only ask for understanding, and  we want you to know that although this is the 1.0 build, we won't just abandon the game! We'll continue maintaining it with updates, bug fixes, and (if it does well)  new features as well. This is just the beginning of our journey!

Early Access Discord Role

If you're reading this before March 12th, the Early Access Discord Role is still available. If you own the game (including through the California Fire Relief Bundle) you should be able to get the role. Be sure to get it while you still can!

Patch Notes

As usual, here are the patch notes:

===== IMPORTANT =====

• The game is done!
• If you've been playing the Itch Early Access version of Blobun, the game has been keeping track of achievements since they were implemented a couple months back. If you load the same save file on Steam, you'll get all your achievements registered in there.

===== NEW =====

• The game can now be beaten! To get the end game cutscene, you'll have to have beaten enough Crystal Cavern stages. If you've already beaten all of them, replay any one of them and this should make the ending appear.
• Once you've seen the ending, it'll be available any time to re-watch from the Extras menu.
• In addition to showing hints for a puzzle, you can now also hide them again.
• The Frenetic Factory now has proper stage music.
• The Autumn Grove now has proper stage music.
• The Crystal Caverns now have proper stage music.
• The Crystal Caverns now have a proper background.
• The City of Lapines now has proper stage music.
• There's new puzzles in the game, bringing it to a nice even 140 puzzles (20 more than our original goal!)

===== IMPROVED =====

• Hint arrows are now animated.
• Hint arrows will remain across puzzle restarts until you either beat the puzzle, move on to a new puzzle, or hide the hint arrows again.

===== CHANGED =====

• Removed all the early access stuff, since the game is finished now.
• Changed how textures are handled to address game hitching/pausing in the story sequences.
• The Pathdraw Crystal will no longer show when you're not hovering over a part of the puzzle.
• The camera framing of some puzzles has been adjusted.
• The functionality of the Lesbian Toggle has been enhanced.
• The "Sprint" prompt will now go away if you continue to move without sprinting, and wont show up for the duration of the puzzle.
• [Full Game] Some of the puzzle blocks in the stages have been changed, as it was pointed out that we often used heart toggles, so we wanted to shake it up. This has no effect on the solutions of the puzzles.
• [Editor] You can now unlock the puzzle zoom, giving additional options on how you want to present the puzzle.

===== BUG FIXES =====

• Crystal Caverns' "Condensed Corridors" is solvable again (it was rendered unsolvable due to a bug fix we did previously regarding inconsistent turn distribution when sliding on ice. We thought we got them all, but missed this one.)
• Fixed Stephanie ignoring the mouse cursor moving around when she's bored and looking around. Now moving the mouse cursor by her will get her attention.
• Removed a debug feature which was accidentally left in the game (if you held 1! while a stage was loading, you could make the slime bars at the top and bottom go away. No idea what that was for.)
• Fixed a bug where Stephanie and Audrey weren't removed from the World and Stage Select screens if the Lesbian Toggle was turned off.
• The "Restart/Skip Puzzle" prompts will no longer stay on screen if you leave your mouse on that part of the screen and don't move it for a while.
• Fixed a bug where the move counter could become desynced when going through portals (as well as some other puzzle elements.)
• The above fix also fixed a bug where sometimes undoing to the beginning tile wouldn't reset the timer when Speedrun Challenge was enabled, unless you pressed "Undo" a few more times.

Again, thank you so much to everyone who made this possible. You are all awesome, and we can never thank you enough.

Now, let's go play, together...

Together under the clearest of blue skies.
