Hi everyone, 

We’ve just released the first alpha version of our newest game PLASMA. There is still a major roadmap ahead for this game but we wanted to receive inputs, so we can create the best experience possible for you.

Plasma is a quick paced puzzle game. Help Til a fully automated cargo spaceship to deliver its packages on time. Match the correct fuel cells to reach the destination successfully. More details you can find in the game page here: https://shifful.itch.io/plasma

I wanted to guide you through some of the most important features that are currently available (really really appreciate your thoughts):

Level logic:

  • Each level you’ll have to select the correct fuel cells combination that will sum up to the distance to the next planet.
  • You can now choose any number of cells to reach the goal (failing is by exceeding the target distance )
  • There is a power bar that will lose power consistently. Win a level and you’ll refill the power lose a level and more power will disappear
  • You can start a combo by reach the destination successfully on 3 levels in a row in a limited time, your combo increases as you finish more levels successfully but can be canceled when you fail in a level or wait too long.
  • For each level you finish you will receive galactic coins based on the target distance, the combo level and the galactic coins multiplier power up

Leaderboard:

  • When you achieve a new highscore, the score alongside the level is sent to the leaderboard
  • The leaderboard is global, each player demo version or full, is able to view his position and the details about the top 10 leaders

Shop & customization:

  • The shop supports only plasma in game currency (galactic coins) and contains 2 sections: powerups and customization
  • The powerups section lets you buy powerups, that will cost more with each level. those power ups currently are:
    • Additional Power Cell - add a new power cell to the power bar
    • Additional Power Time - add some more time before loosing a power cell
    • Coins multiplier - Multiply the coins you receive from each level by a small amount
  • The customization section lets you to buy customization to Til (Our Spaceship), that will be available throughout the game. The customization is divided to hats and tails.
  • The customization screen let you choose which customization you purchased you are applying to Til. Til has two slots hat and tail, and he can wear only one item in each slot.

I’ll update this thread more along the way. 

Thank you for your time, and again please tell us what you think, it's really valuable to us:)

Two weeks from our alpha release and based on our reviewers comments we have decided to make our Plasma FREE for all. You can now download the latest version 0.3.1 and play as long as you want here:  https://shifful.itch.io/plasma :)

The main upgrade from the demo version is that the in game shop is now available, and you can purchase power ups and some customization options using galactic coins received playing the game.


There is also a premium version, it contains several cosmetics purchasable upgrades for Til the space ship such as the Pirate Cannon or the Viking Helmet. If you like PLASMA and want to help us grow, the premium version is for you :)


Alongside this change we have adapted our roadmap based on your suggestions:

  • PLASMA web version is coming next week
  • Better quicker tutorial in the following month
  • PLASMA Android mobile version is expected in two months

We are super happy to update on version 0.4.2!!! 

As we mentioned before, the main feature we have added in this version is the web build:) We have always considered plasma as a casual game, so we are happy to comply with our reviewers suggestions for making Plasma a web game.

You can still download it if you prefer, but now you can simply go to https://shifful.itch.io/plasma and play it directly:)

We hope this feature will make Plasma even more enjoyable to more gamers as it is for us.

Additionally version 0.4.2 includes an updated tutorial flow. The tutorial flow was optimized based on your suggestions to a much more concise fun version. Here is a short sample:

We really hope you'll enjoy our game :) As always feedback is most welcome!
