Hi, how are you? In this new update, I'll show you everything that's changed.

New language: PT-BR

A new and striking language, the PT-BR language is something that, just by hearing it, everyone knows it's BR, unlike Asian languages such as Hindi, Chinese, and Thai (South Asia). In this new language support, the characters write as if they were in a Brazilian film/dubbed in PT-BR. In the dialogues, the characters speak with slang and accents, unlike Japanese and English where they write grammatically simple and "correct". 

Now you can use your cell phone as a motion capture controller. This function already comes with automatic attack and shake to throw bombs, but there is still no dash option for this type of controller. The idea behind this type of control is for casual players who just want to pick up a game for fun. 

Bugs:

The card descriptions weren't accurately describing the cards (I fixed this bug) and maybe the game improved by about 200%.

Now Boki appears in the scene normally and now there's a "Kibo Death" ending.

Hope you like it.  

Hello everyone! We have a quick but lethal update for Starfish ROOM: Defend the Rooms. While it’s a micro update, the stakes have never been higher for Kibo Wave

Please, play my game: https://kittycreampuff.itch.io/starfishroom

New Boss: Boki, The Alien Clone

A new threat has emerged from the shadows of the future. Meet Boki, a mysterious alien clone of Kibo Wave. But this isn't just a simple copy—Boki is a battle-hardened cyborg from a dark timeline who has traveled back with one single mission: to eliminate the original Kibo Wave

Prepare yourself for a high-intensity encounter! Boki brings cybernetic precision and alien technology to the battlefield. Do you have what it takes to stop this futuristic double?

Visual Enhancements: Animated Menu Texts

To give the game a more polished and dynamic feel, I’ve also updated the UI. The main menu texts now feature new visual effects, making the navigation experience much more immersive and energetic from the moment you hit "Start".

What’s Next?

This micro update is another step in making Starfish ROOM the best experience possible. Stay tuned for more, and as always, thank you for the incredible support!

Defend the rooms. Stop the clone. Save the future.

In this update, I've made several improvements and additions

1. I changed the design of the blue diamond score bar.

1. I added 2 new cards, a meteor that passes through the ROOM and a card that adds "Add Timer" which increases the game tim

1. The aliens are colliding with solid object

1. The monsters and aliens leave trails of green slime

1. Improvements to the organization of the game's main menu

2. New conquest menu to see your full potential

Entertainment, these were the latest updates for this simple game.

I hope you play Starfish ROOM and enjoy it

Starfish ROOM Jan, 21 of 2026 update

-Trails slime monsters

When Kibo Wave collides in trails, he can damage

-New cards redesign

I changed colors and format of rogue cards

-New field of vision system for monsters

Now monsters have new vision fields system

This update focuses on visual polish for the upgrade system and significant changes to the enemy encounter logic to increase gameplay intensity.

- Upgrade Card Visual Overhaul

I have completely redesigned the upgrade cards to improve clarity and aesthetic appeal. The new system features unique frames and a refreshed color palette for each card type. This visual distinction helps players quickly identify upgrade categories during the fast-paced "Level Up" moments, where the character turns blue to signal the pause in action.

- Real Monster Hordes

The enemy spawning system has been reworked to support much larger quantities of monsters within the ROOM. Players will now face true hordes of aliens and monsters simultaneously, requiring better use of the "Dash Kick" and "Throw Bomb" mechanics to survive. This change significantly increases the difficulty and emphasizes the importance of strategic positioning.

- Future Feature: Accelerometer Support

I am currently researching and planning the implementation of accelerometer-based controls. This will offer a new way to play and control Kibo Wave in Starfish ROOM, providing a unique alternative for devices that support motion input.

- Technical Adjustments

Optimized sprite rendering to maintain performance during large horde encounters.

Refined the UI layer to ensure the new card frames display correctly on all screen resolutions.

Adjusted monster AI to prevent stacking issues within high-density groups.

This update focuses on expanding the game's accessibility to a global audience and fine-tuning the gameplay pace to enhance visual clarity.

- Japanese Language Support

I have implemented full Japanese localization for the dialogue system between the aliens and the protagonist, Kibo. This allows a wider range of players to experience the unique personalities and humor of characters like Chad White, Shinobi Striker, and Sabrity in their native language.

- Movement Speed Adjustment

The player's walking speed has been slightly reduced. This change was made to allow players to better visualize the character's animations and details during exploration and combat. By slowing down the base movement, the contrast between normal walking and the high-speed "Dash Kick" mechanic becomes more impactful, improving the overall game feel.

- Gamepad Removal

The gamepad support has been removed in this version to prioritize the polish of keyboard and mouse controls. This allows for a more focused development on the precision of the "Throw Bomb" system and the responsiveness of the UI during dialogue sequences.

- Technical Polish

Updated font assets to support Japanese hiragana, romanji and kana characters.

Adjusted camera damping to match the new movement speed for smoother visuals.

Refined dialogue triggers to ensure seamless transitions between combat and story beats.

This update introduces a new layer of immersion to Starfish ROOM through the implementation of a dedicated dialogue system. Players will now encounter specific narrative interactions with various alien entities, adding personality and context to the arena combat.

In prototype versions, the dialogues were just text, not a beautiful dialog box

Introduction of Alien Characters

The game world is now populated with distinct adversaries who communicate with the player, providing both lore and personality. These characters include:

Chad White: A territorial guardian who confronts the player upon entering sacred ground.

Shinobi Striker: An enemy utilizing Pennsylvania steel and the spirit of Edo, adding a unique cultural blend to the enemy roster.

Sabrity: A tactical character focused on authentic hardware and the mechanics of combat in a vacuum.

Balstico: A sector defender who challenges the player's intrusion into their territory.

Kireionna: A character representing the themes of colonization within the arena.

Narrative and Gameplay Balance

These dialogues are designed to be concise, ensuring that the fast-paced nature of the roguelite gameplay remains uninterrupted. The character portraits and text boxes have been integrated to match the existing pixel-art aesthetic while providing clear visual feedback during interactions.

World Building

By giving the enemies a voice, the "ROOM" now feels like a lived-in environment with established factions and rivalries. This is a significant step in evolving the game from a pure combat loop into a more complete narrative experience.

 In this small update, I added 2 new configuration options: 1. Outline and 2. Shadows.

I also improved and replaced the word ぽいんと with すこれ or something similar. I didn't show it in these screenshots because I don't have much time to show it.

However, you can give me feedback ideas on what I should add/improve in my action roguelite.

Thank you for reading this post :)

This latest update focuses on expanding the player’s offensive capabilities and significantly improving the overall atmosphere through a complete audio rework.

New Dash Attack Mechanic The dash is no longer just a movement tool for dodging. I have implemented a new mechanic where the player now kicks monsters and aliens upon contact during a dash. This adds a layer of aggressive mobility to the gameplay, allowing you to clear paths and deal damage while repositioning.

High-Quality Audio Remaster I have completely updated the game’s music and sound effects. The new tracks have been produced with higher fidelity to ensure a more immersive and professional experience. This audio overhaul better reflects the intensity of the combat and the fast-paced nature of the game.

Technical Refinements Optimized dash hitboxes to ensure consistent contact with enemies.

Balanced audio levels to ensure music and sound effects complement each other without distortion.

General performance improvements to handle the new collision logic during high-speed movement.

Thank you for following the development of Starfish ROOM.

The game isn't really my vibe because it's visually stunning, but it has a lot of potential because of its aesthetics and graphics; it reminds me of big indie games like Undertale or some famous RPG. If I were you, I'd host it on a site like Newgrounds or Alternatives. I just don't understand why so many Itch games are abandoned these days. You could improve the game's page and try promoting it on niche subreddits and on lemmy.world in the gaming community. Aside from the page, the game is great, but if possible, could you remove the backlog when I scroll with my mouse?

Good luck!

Hey everyone! SketBR here. I'm back with another update for Starfish ROOM, focusing on accessibility and smoother mechanics.

Here is what’s new in this version:

1. Gamepad Support (Xbox Input) 🎮 You asked for it! The game now fully supports controllers with the Xbox input layout. Playing a roguelite with a gamepad gives it a completely different, more comfortable feel. Plug in and play!

2. Visual Feedback: Card Selection 🃏 To help switch your focus from combat to strategy, the character now turns Blue the moment the Roguelite Cards appear on screen. This provides clear visual feedback that the action has paused and it's time to choose your upgrade.

3. Improved Throw Bomb System 💣 I have refined the Throw Bomb mechanic. It is now much more responsive and precise, making it easier to land those explosions exactly where you need them.

Give it a try and let me know how the controller support feels!

Thanks for playing!

Hello developers and gamers, I'm announcing a new devlog about my other Newgrounds page, with the difference that it can be run with a gamepad/joystick

Vote 5 star to my game, pls

Hey everyone.

Just dropped my new game: Starfish ROOM.

It is an action roguelite with pixel art and a specific Japanese vibe. You control Kibo Wave, a catboy chosen to defend the ROOM from hordes of monsters and aliens.

The loop is intense:

Defend the Room: Enter, kill everything with your sword and dynamite.

Power Up: Pick cards between waves to upgrade your stats.

Face the Aliens: Boss battles.

Repeat: It is an endless cycle of defense and combat.

For those who do not know me, I am SketBR. Been making games online since 2016 (started when I was 11). I did the pixel art and some of the music for this too. This is a very personal project.

I need your support. Play it, drop a 5-star rating, and leave some real feedback. It helps me keep making stuff for the community.

Update: New Look & Speed

Yo. SketBR here.

Been grinding non-stop on Starfish ROOM and I have got some changes to share. I want this game to feel right, so I tweaked a few things.

New Look

Changed the player outline to WHITE. It pops way more against the background now. Super crisp.

The Feel

Cranked things up. The game is officially faster now. The flow is way more addictive. Good luck putting it down once you start.

Japan Support Added

Big news for people in Japan or anyone reading Kana: The game is now translated into Hiragana and Katakana.

Look, I will be real—I do not know complex Japanese yet (still learning), but I wanted to make sure people who do not understand English can still play and have fun.

Check out the update and let me know if you can handle the new speed.

Good playing ;)

Hello itch.io support. I hope someone can help me get my game approved and appear in searches and on the site.

I've been working on updates for this game for a long time, but it's been over 30 days since I last spoke with an admin of the site, but there's always the same excuse: "Just read the forum post." But from what I've read about 50 times, "Games in the review queue are prioritized by several criteria." The initial review never happens.
 

"The most important thing is having genuine traffic to the game page coming from outside itch.io."

I already send genuine traffic on Reddit, Facebook, and other social networks. In other words, I'm not sending bots; I'm always prioritizing real people for my game.

My goal with this game is to build a loyal audience that likes this style of game. But that's taking a long time to happen, and nobody is doing their part and pretending not to know.

I don't know what to do; I'm a little desperate. I've been working on this project for weeks, and no admin has reviewed or approved my game. I hope no admin is so selfish as to not respond to anything, because it's been over a month since my game was reviewed.

This looks bad...

I already understand that my game is not an incremental, but I don't understand the part about PGF being shit? Maybe it's either the experimental graphics or the "arcade" vibe. No one is forced to like it. One day I'll find the right audience...

I've read the article you indexed several times, but until now I don't understand why my game hasn't been appearing on Google or within itch.io for days. Could someone analyze my game or do I still need to wait a thousand years for my game to finally appear within itch.io? Please do it as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer.

https://kittycreampuff.itch.io/pgf

I've already read the rules, but now when I went to change the tags related to the game, because I improved the tags, this change was flagged to the moderators, but it's been almost a week, what should I do?

Hey moderators, my game hasn't generated any impressions for days. Could someone please release my game again? I've removed the page several times and nothing.

It's been days since my game not started generating 7 days impressions and it doesn't appear within itch

Hey itch support, I sent an email to get the game back in the store. It only appears on Google, not when you filter by idle games, clicker games, or by the game name. I want someone to help me resolve the visibility of the game that only appears on Google

Progress Girls Fighters is an idle combat simulator game, directly inspired by titles like Cookie Clicker and Skullgirls. It combines the addictive simplicity of incremental progression with stylized combat between female characters.

The player assumes the role of Bikla, a high school student learning Krav Maga. To achieve good grades, Bikla must face other girls, demonstrate her skills, and overcome challenges in various streets. The game features girls of all types, from a transgender girl from Minas Gerais, muscular girls, albinos, aliens, Chinese, and Afro-Brazilians to Bikla.

The project was born from the initiative of SketBestReal or Kittycreampuff, a 20-year-old indie developer who started creating games as a child. He built Progress Girls Fighters as a unique, addictive, and innovative experience for the idle and combat simulator genre.

Thanks ;)

It made sense to me, Could you explain this better? I didn't quite understand. Sorry.

Hey guys, I want to know if there is any moderator here on itch who wants to put my game's page on the home page, but so far without results. I hope someone likes Sheris ROOM:

https://kittycreampuff.itch.io/sheris-room

I hope the moderators still accept this and if they still do they put games inside Itch

Good luck and thanks for reading.

Sorry for the unexpected, if the game still has potential, try playing it on Newgrounds
