Flea Madness News

Hey, we're running another playtest. We updated the game based on your feedback from the latest playtest session, and also added more content to the game.

This playtest is private again, so please join our discord server if you want to get a key:

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
We're really close to be able to open the big playtest for everyone, and we actually now have 1600+ people waiting for it, if you're interested and want to join push "Request access" on our main store page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1025560/Flea_Madness/

But this update is not about it. We want to run kind of "closed" playtest for limited number of people, to check if everything is working (technically and from the game balance standpoint). It will be for discord community so please join the event on Discord:


https://discord.gg/hxxSZfw


It's planned for January 8th.
We will give steam playtest keys directly this time, so you would need to request them on discord. Sorry it's not super comfortable, but it's a price to be "closed" you know :)


Thank you!

Hey, here's what we've recently achieved in development. But before we start please find the Join Playtest button at the game store page and request access (we have 1500+ requests currently):

We have been quite but didn't stop the development. First thing to mention we have added a new map to the game "The Deadly Swamp"





Third map is in progress ;)

Our new characters have new outfits:



Riding NPC mechanics also has new bug to ride, actually to fly: "Drone bug"





And here is the list of current improvements we have in game:

• Match capacity is now 8 vs 8
  
• Lobby improvement has been done. Invites and joining to the match is now more smooth, more polishes are WIP.
  
• Food evolution is now in game: By eating "Infinity candies" from the specific bug you can change your character physical parameters.
  
• In-game parameters tuning mechanics is in game, some balancing is needed (that's where the coming Playtest could help).
  
• Emotions are added into the game.
  
• Speed, biting speed, abilities balancing was done (not final obviously).
  
• Character setup, progress, and lobby UI in main menu was significantly improved.
  
• Abilities will be linked to a specific character class, new abilities partially done.
  
• Character jittering during the fast movement is fixed.
  
• Settings are now "technicaly" in the game.
  
• New VFX for old abilities (Vomit, Gravity bomd, Dash etc.) added.
  

Basically the only thing preventing us from running the Playtest is a number of participant, so please consider subscribing on it.
Also as always add out game to Wishlists :)

Thanks for reading!

Hey, it's a small update, but hope you'll like it. We decided to make our NPC characters more interactive, now in addition to eating, you can ride them:



In case of more intelligent bugs you could also use their powers, like this Candy Bug laser for ex.
