To counter this, there'll be a setting where you choose mouse or keyboard (this setting is ignored on mobile)

Also customisable Tracks

VOILA!!!!!!!!!

#

Please test it out and find bits you absolutely hate. I'm taking on all feedback so I have stuff to do ^^

mint tendon
#

make one of the skins a labubu

kind cliff
#

ok!

neon yacht
#

how did someone get sub 7 😭

#

would be killer if multitouch worked, ngl

mental siren
#

Im leaderboard 12 btw

#

I click faster on phone than mouse

neon yacht
#

same I used both fingers on my phone and managed somehow

kind cliff
neon yacht
#

odd, as far as i can tell you can't quickly tap (cycling miltiple fingers).

#

only like one of every six taps would be counted

kind cliff
#

I'll see what I can do

#

I have deployed a fix that let me mash with 2 thumbs, or 4 fingers, so ... YAY :D

neon yacht
#

k so this was 1st try so i'd say mission success lol

mint tendon
#

SNAIL BITCH

neon yacht
#

i'm turbo the snail lmao

mint tendon
#

REAL

#

FUCKEN HOW

neon yacht
#

dang, got a 2.3 but didnt submit it and cant reproduce

#

@kind cliff lemme know if u wanna know the strat so it can be patched. my pre-update time was the one in the 7.6s lol

#

lol I am the top 5

#

if my method is deemed intended I'll share it :)

kind cliff
#

go ahead and share it

#

it's all for the testing xD

#

the issue with it being web-based is it's very vulnerable to lots of exploits

image.png
mint tendon
#

LOL

neon yacht
#

I used 3 fingers per hand, zoomed into the button so it was physically bigger and just straight up spammed it lol

#

on mobile of course

mental siren
#

Can you do a language tab so i can translate the game ? πŸ₯Ί I wanna participate

#

So I can send the game to my friend

I THINK BLO IS CHEATING

kind cliff
mild schooner
#

im on the wrong side of history with the cheaters :(

kind cliff
#

My fren is cheating :cc

#

but i'm aware of it - he's just having fun xD

#

He''s done now, let's race!!

mild schooner
kind cliff
#

he is not done no w:<

kind cliff
#

only 12,500 clicks to the end

#

SOMEONE JOIN RED

I look away for five second -

#

I SAW THAT

#

Me humbly at 1500

#

Oh okay

#

Gz I guess

#

xDDD

mild schooner
#

yeah som1 on blo keeps cheating :c

#

this is why we can't have fun things

kind cliff
#

it's not "som1" - it is a friend who's purposefully trying to cheat --- i just thought he was done!!

#

HOWEVER eventually i will have something in place that stops this stoof

#

he's just practicing writing Python

#

I'll ping you when he's done >.<

#

I am reuploading the game with 10,000,000 cliques

mild schooner
#

make a troll version that advances automatically and whenever you click it sends them backwards to troll your friend 😈

kind cliff
#

I like that xD

kind cliff
#

Get that shell-less abomination out of here

#

I think I'm actually gonna go all in on this game (like, any time I'm not sleeping/working), and see what I can make from it.

Flappy Bird was cool, but what if it was a lot more slow, painful, and featured everyone's favourite animal?

HELL YEAH

I was becoming disheartened about making this game. It's a big time investment, and I'm scared it'll amount to nothing xD

mint tendon
#

So why not try to make it into something beautiful?

kind cliff
#

Yes

#

I love that

I definitely needa hide the supabase endpoints in the release lmao

and a little server side validation as well

It was just a prototype, but I value you breaking it

I did a funny

pure lagoon

said funny will be working until you yell at me (I have the funny running on an rpi now)

#

I had put a bit more effort than I should have into the funny, so its made to be as annoying as possible

#

@kind cliff you should have the main game be a 1/50 chance of it just being thundersnail, better not encourage the poor thing too much or too little

it gets even more punishing if you hit it with an autoclicker

Big news. I'm thinking of a Worm game…

neon yacht
#

:o

#

πŸͺ±

kind cliff
#

Tap one button and it'll go
_/\_

Tap the other and
____

#

And you "run" by mashing the buttons alternately

neon yacht
#

caterpillar?

kind cliff
#

It is a caterpillar yeah

#

But my gf said worm & I don't wanna upset her

#

She seemed so happy

neon yacht
#

false advertising smh

kind cliff
#

NO

#

It's a caterpillar that identifies as a worm

neon yacht
#

what has the world come to 😭

kind cliff
#

WOKE RACE

neon yacht
#

worm race*

kind cliff
#

She said it should be called Worm Racists

neon yacht
#

I concur

mental siren
#

WAIT

#

the snail game

#

can do you it so its incremental ?

kind cliff
mental siren
#

like first, you get a dollar (or a money) everytime your snail touches the finish line

#

then you buy upgrades

#

so your snail goes faster/further or walk on its own

#

then faster n faster

#

until you get a new map, where the finish line is further

#

then a country

#

then a planet

#

then a galaxy

#

(crazy shit)

kind cliff
#

I like it!

#

Thanks for explaining ^^

neon yacht
#

don't forget prestiging lol

snail arg

mental siren
#

oh god i would love if you make an arg

kind cliff

snai-r g

#

i tried

kind cliff
#

the start of something HUGE ladies and gents

image.png image.png
mental siren
#

oh my

mint tendon
neon yacht
#

but what's gonna happen to Snail Game???

#

won't anybody think of the children!!

kind cliff
neon yacht
#

lol

kind cliff
#

What if I make both
Like how PokΓ©mon releases basically the same game twice

neon yacht
#

Apple mentality

kind cliff
#

And then in their "multiplayer" mode, you can pick worm or snail, when racing friends

neon yacht
#

Snail is the better choice imo

#

Snail would win against Worm probably

kind cliff
#

worms move way faster than snil

neon yacht
#

correct, but not according to your gameplay logic

kind cliff
#

Mm

neon yacht
#

if you gotta alternate between left and right, then you'll inevitably be locked out of one when you go too fast or misclick

#

Snail doesn't have that issue

#

it just goes

kind cliff
#

Snail is superior in every way

neon yacht
#

yup =)

kind cliff
#

What if it's one game.
Snil has a set of races
Worm has a set of races
Multiplayer lets you pick snil/worm/mixed

#

Then we're all happy :<

neon yacht
#

nah make what you want :)

#

at the end of the day you wanna build something for yourself too, no?

kind cliff
#

I do. Both in one was the original plan
"worm mode" being a secondary mode!

neon yacht
#

aight cool, so they'd just be different characters in the same game?

kind cliff
#

I think so!

neon yacht
#

nice, I have some ideas

kind cliff
#

I'm very open to ideas! ^^

neon yacht
#

instead of the worm having an alternating tip taps, use the slider input type to map it to actual worm movements

kind cliff
#

I've decided to scrap global leaderboards for now. Toooooo easy to mess with

kind cliff
#

How would this work?
Slide it left/right?

neon yacht
#

yep!

#

maybe the alternating tip-taps can go to another character who has that same movement characteristic or something

#

like a flying type

#

ladybug when πŸ‘€

kind cliff
#

My mum, of all people, suggested a chase game

#

one of you is a bird, one's a snail

neon yacht
#

lols

kind cliff
#

It's a "race", with the snail getting 100 steps ahead, but slower to move

neon yacht
#

tortoise and the hare be like

kind cliff
#

Yus!

neon yacht
#

cool!

kind cliff
#

If you beat all the cups as a snail, you unlock worm, etc?

neon yacht
#

sure, could be

kind cliff
#

This game is so silly now
I love it

neon yacht
#

xD

kind cliff
#

It's becoming Mario Kart

#

Omg I should deffo have rival creatures you race

neon yacht
#

sorta, it makes me think of the chrome dino game

kind cliff
#

Yus!

#

People have asked for "obstacles", but that feels outta scope

neon yacht
#

yea idk how that'd fit into the game either

kind cliff
#

If it auto moved, it'd feel chrome dino / flappy bird, & that's not the goal

I want a goofy "simple to understand" game (hence the og being "click button")

neon yacht
#

smash that screen!

mental siren
#

And then get this out on Steam

#

And get rich

kind cliff
#

Right, so...

Snail 🐌 : Click to move
Worm πŸͺ± : Tap left/right buttons alternately
Caterpillar πŸ› : Wiggle a slider back and forth

I'm thinking of making a Bird πŸ¦β€β¬› , but dunno what movement scheme it should have.
Also, if anyone has any other ideas for animals & their schemes, I'm all ears

I don't want it to get too complicated though

mental siren
#

up/down ?

#

or just like the flappy bird command

#

spamming space bar

kind cliff
#

See flappy bird command is interesting, cos the animals don't move on their own

neon yacht
#

maybe bird can be circular motion?

kind cliff
#

OK chat hear me out

#

The gameplay moves away from racing…

#

Instead, a bird's chasing you, moving slightly quicker as time goes on - you've gotta outlast the bird as long as poss

#

You can choose b/w snail, worm, frog?, other?

#

Multiplayer will be 1 person as the bird, the other as the critter

#

My gf has suggested the name Creepy Racists. thoughts @mint tendon?

mint tendon
#

LMAOOO

#

thats horrible

#

i love it

kind cliff
#

Cos they're creepy crawlies that do racing :3

#

Do physics? Physicist
Do biology? Biologist
Do racing? Racist

EHEHEHEEHEHEHEHE

Can of Worms is a great name for the worm game

should that be the new name?

Oh no

I love what you did with the place

NUHUH

Maybe let's set it back to "SNAIL RACE"

I need stunt's seal of approval for my games foxHuh

nah this is good clickbait

SNAIL RACE

kind cliff
#

I'm not a big dreamer, but if this game somehow ever became something huge - I'd rather not be known as "the creator of creepy racists"

#

Then again rank #1 would be "the world's #1 creepy racist"

mint tendon

LMAO REAL

This is fucking ridiculous

battle royale

#

every worm that gets out, the bird moves a lil faster

pure lagoon
kind cliff
#

ok i can't lie i'm super hype for worm battle royale

#

1st place gets 5 currency, 2nd gets 3, 3rd gets 2, 4th-10th gets 1
25 players in each lobby
you can use currency to get skins for the worms to flex your wins

mental siren
#

golden worm for 500€

#

i mean currency

kind cliff
#

oh yeah, we need MTX

mental siren
#

Can the currency be Jar of Dirts πŸ₯Ί ?

kind cliff
#

i love it

#

dirt as the currency

neon yacht
#

Nutrient-rich soil as the descriptor ehehe

#

I can outworm the bird

#

I'm faster than the bird lol, does it ever speed up? I was doing it for like a solid 4 minutes

kind cliff
neon yacht
#

Oh I can?

kind cliff
#

I love your discord status xD

kind cliff
neon yacht
#

figured it out

#

GET param lol

#

Mine now travels at the speed of light.

#

assuming each step is a meter

mild schooner
#

oh, I just discovered tgat you can use dpab/arrow keys instead of mouse/touchscreen

#

lol

#

the bird should get like exponentially faster imo

#

like at 1000 distance it should be like impossible to run from or smt

#

otherwise it'll go on forever once you start gaining on it :P

my hand hurr

#

as an easter egg every now and then the bird is not a bird but a b2 spirit chasing you down at hypersonic speeds

kind cliff
#

I really appreciate the feedback and ideas from you all, thank you so much

neon yacht
#

do we have worm updates?

#

πŸͺ±

kind cliff
#

We do!
I've managed to implement a lobbying system... I'm just nervous about the security of it

#

I might just make a really fragile prototype for people to break - but I definitely need a safer system than what I'm using now

mental siren
#

you cant have an already made anticheat ?

#

idk how to code

kind cliff
#

I don't know enough about Backend development to know if it's secure or not
At the moment, my game will talk to the server, but bad people can also do the same thing...

image.png
neon yacht
#

I don't know much about solving this either but maybe JWTs could help?

kind cliff
#

I think I've got my solution. The tech stack's a lil more complicated now, but thus is the price I pay for realtime games

#

Lmfao did you wipe the DB

#

I won't lie, I've been spending my time doing a Three.js (3D in the browser) course, cos I've got 2 projects I wanna do, and I have no idea how to solve the issues with these games ;-;

neon yacht
kind cliff
#

Thanks for asking!

As mentioned before, I have 0 experience in backend, so I have no idea to make a site that communicates with a DB in a way that doesn't publicly expose what it's doing.

Right now I'm using a service, called Supabase, which my website "talks to"... But it exposes how it does that, so people are able to also talk to Supabase and do silly things x_x

neon yacht
#

I can tell you how it works, but given that you wanna learn I'll just name-drop it xd

#

basically, if you wanna do something without anyone else being able to see what's up, you're most likely gonna want to host a server to do all the logic for you.

I think so - but I'm not sure if I'd get the same issues from having a disconnected FE/BE

neon yacht

you'd "just" make your own API, which sounds a lot harder than it is xd

kind cliff
neon yacht

you define your endpoints and their responses, you'd only need to worry about setting up proper authentication

I'm a (student) backend dev

will gladly offer my services to the cause

It's not dead, I promise!
