Wumble
A browser game made in HTML5

Welcome to (the first) Weekly Wumble Wednesday!

A lil series that'll now just be about me adding more content to the game, Wumble, every week (as long as it is feasibly possible).

How's this gonna work?

To keep it quick, these changes listed here on the weekly drops will fall under three categories:

  1. Some new big/medium-sized features or feature clean-up/refining
    1. For instance, next week, even though I won't be adding a brand new system...
    2. I will be working on giving the player more feedback after a battle!
  2. Additions to the mini content pile, which may or may not include
    1. Words
    2. Word patterns
    3. Decks
    4. Profile Pictures
    5. ?????
  3. Then, just a big ol section for balance changes, game tweaks, and so on

So, what's the new feature (of the week)

This week's feature is word patterns!!!

Essentially, whenever a player plays a word in a specific pattern, there'll multiplier will increase dependent on the pattern!

Some extra notes about patterns:
  • Currently, the game doesn't tell players when a pattern has been found, but I'll be working on that soon!
  • There aren't that many right now, so if you want to add any, feel free to let me know on...
    • The comment section
    • The feedback form
    • Or any of my socials!

The (Mini) Content Pile:

New words:
  • Cage
  • Pog
  • Poggers
  • Tune
  • Game
  • Gaming
  • Cafe
  • Pancreatitis
  • There
  • Grammar
New Patterns:
  • Gaming Cafe
  • Club Penguin
  • Club Penguin is a silly game, yet you can die under defenestration

Other Changes~~~

Removed live feed button :<

This was a button I had on the main screen that would lead to a live feed scene, where anytime any user would post anything, that post would show up on the screen!

This was great for PlayNYC for players to see all the recent posts live, but when it comes to having it in the main game outside of it felt weird, primarily because the only way to get back to the main screen was a hidden development key...

Could I have made a quick back button with preexisting code, meaning the fix would only take a max of 10 minutes tops? Shhhhhhhh

New/updated word pools within the shop!

So to show off the playtester suggestions from PlayNYC that weren't in the game, I went ahead and made a new random word option for those suggestions! The plus side of this is that the other option, being random recent words, can then solely be reserved for new words in the incoming version!

And that's all folks!!!!
