Battle Mode Prototype Testing [We Need Gamers to Playtest!]

Hey there Gamers & Foodies!

Thank you everyone for your continued patience & support throughout Foodomina's Development! 🙏🌟 

We are delighted to announce that we are developing a BATTLE GAME MODE for release, to be free & playable alongside the Story Demo, as we continue production on Foodomina's full story release.  We're here to provide anyone interested a sneak peak into our upcoming new gameplay, through an opportunity to playtest! We really appreciate our community's feedback, and it helps us make Foodomina the best it can be!

DISCLAIMER: This Playtesting Prototype will be UNPUBLISHED early-mid OCTOBER! Once testing is complete, the Battle Mode will only be previewed at PAX Rising before its official Steam Release in 2025! You can only get a sneak peak to it NOW!

WHAT IS THE BATTLE MODE?

The Battle Mode is a 30-40 minute experience, taking place in a non-canon, simpler story, and contained environment. It is back to back Mold Enemy Battles, including more battles & a Boss Fight, that are exclusive to the Battle Mode & not yet present in the Story Demo. 👾

It was designed with the purpose of having Foodomina playable to those who want to experience more intense gameplay & mechanics, without story in between. It gets to the action quicker! Upon the Battle Game Mode's Steam Release it will contain:

• 10 Mold Battles
• Unlockable abilities
• Challenging attacks
• Boss Battle
• Even more food puns!

We will add more enemies, bosses, and depth to it alongside Foodomina's Full Release!

WHY ARE WE CREATING A BATTLE GAME MODE?

Whilst our Story Demo's narrative progression has remained untouched, we have completely transformed our Battle System, making it more diverse, refreshing, challenging, and intriguing! 💫 The Battle System is what our players were desiring to see the most growth from, understanding the potential our unique mechanics had, but ultimately wanted more.
We added a variety of new mechanics and unlockable abilities to give players access to varied strategies. Our transformation also includes bringing more variety to our Battles through new goofy Enemies, and a rather interesting Boss Battle! A polished version of this new Game Mode will be previewed at PAX Rising [PAX AUS 2024] exclusively at the moment, we will be releasing our Official Story Demo & Battle Mode on Steam in 2025.

💫 This is a PROTOTYPE! Some features and graphics will appear finished and polished, while others may appear rougher and incomplete! Please keep that in consideration when playing!

💫 When playing, if you encounter something that doesn’t feel quite right, and you might think is a BUG or ERROR... PLEASE LET US KNOW! It doesn’t matter how minor!

💫 Due to our limited resources, this build is confirmed to be compatible with WINDOWS ONLY at this time. If you are using a MAC, unfortunately you will not be able to access the build to test! However, you are free to try if you have experience working with unzipping files for MAC. Unfortunately, the team does not have a MAC to test this for ourselves!

💫 If you play through the entire Prototype... we would be SO GRATEFUL if you filled out the FEEDBACK FORM afterwards! We want to make the full release of the Battle Mode the best it can be... so tell us what you LOVE and what needs more work! 💜🙏
