Flooded has been out for a week!
Hello everyone! 👋
Can you believe it's been a whole week since I released Flooded? Time flies! I wanted to use this opportunity to reflect on the past days and share my own impressions on the launch.
Firstly, I'm thrilled with how everything went and I'm over the moon that so many of you played my game. At its peak, 74 people were playing simultaneously, which is an amazing result! What's even better is that, even though it's been several days now, there are still at least a dozen people playing the game almost constantly!

You know what’s exciting? Flooded has been making waves in the gaming world! It's been featured on some of the biggest gaming sites out there, including:
[h3]📰 PC Gamer[/h3]
“I faced some tricky choices as I played: if there's a copper node close to shore, should I set up a mine on it to quickly extract as much as I can? Or should I leave it and build my factory further inland where I know the building won't be swallowed by the ocean within the next few minutes?”
[h3]📰 Destructoid[/h3]
“For being a rather unique premise, Flooded offers a very tight and polished experience. It’s the sort of thing where I’m afraid that if you either add something or take it away, it will stop working. Just a terrific execution of its thesis. I’m not certain it will necessarily soak your socks like some more expansive builders might, but your time spent stranded will be worthwhile.”
[h3]📰 Even the Financial Times![/h3]
“It’s a compelling combination of base-building, tower defence and real-time strategy whose procedurally generated maps, different modes and £10 price tag more than make up for its relatively short campaign length. And its combination of human and environmental threats is an effective reminder that when it comes to the climate, we are often our own worst enemies.”
In addition, many well-known creators (like Raptor, Orbital Potato or Lutel) have streamed the game!
Can you believe it? I still can't!
[h2]Thank you! 🙏🏽[/h2]
Once more, I wanted to send a big thank you to everyone who's been playing Flooded and sharing their thoughts on Steam. Your support means everything to me. I also want to encourage you to leave reviews, as they really help the game reach new people.
Finally, I'm excited to announce that a new update will be released this Friday! It will add some content and fix a couple of the bugs you've been telling me about.
Thanks again for your support, and I can't wait to see you all in the game!
