Flooded News

I know Flooded may seem like a simple game (looking at the art style!), but it can sometimes get tricky, especially when you hear the siren and your buildings are about to disappear in the ocean…
To give you a headstart, I’ve prepared a couple of hints that I hope will help you flow (pun intended) through the levels! 🙂

1. Remember to build enough Quarters, as they provide you with Miners. To gather resources you need:
   
   
   • Open-Pit Mine/Mining Shaft/Underwater Mining Shaft;
     
   • Miners;
     
   • Water.
     
   
   It’s crucial that you obtain enough Miners to fill all jobs and supply them with the right amount of Water.
   
   
2. Don’t forget about upgrading buildings from the Action category. A Workshop or Lumber Mill on level 3 can cover even the entire island!
   
   
3. Think 3 steps ahead - build Embankments, while you still have space. Later on you’ll have to rely on Artificial Ground, which is more expensive.
   
   
4. Avoid cutting down trees around your Miners’ Base - they can cover your base from enemy fire.
   
   
5. Learn about your Commander and Relict - not using their perks can make the playthrough more difficult.
   
   
6. When you think everything is lost, try to uncover Mystery Spots on/under the ground or on the ocean. An epic chest may end up saving your run.
   
   
7. When leveling and upgrading buildings, start with those farthest from the shore. The ones by the ocean will probably get flooded anyway.
   
   
8. When you can see that the next flood will take away some buildings, destroy them. This way you’ll at least get back half of the resources used to build them.
   
   
9. Use shortcut buttons, especially for leveling and destroying buildings. These can be found on the right side of the bottom menu. Once you click on one of them, you will be able to pick which buildings should be upgraded or destroyed. This way you won’t have to click on every single building and upgrade/destroy them from the building’s menu.
   

Have fun!

These past few days have been absolutely crazy! But now the dust has settled and I have the first update for you.

Before I tell you more about the changes, I want to thank all of you for your support, feedback, reviews (especially those on Steam - they mean the world to me) and just for playing Flooded. I am so happy to see that the reception has been positive. It is incredibly helpful in shaping the future of the game.

[h2]Update[/h2]

Now moving on to the update. The most important change involves balancing. Our goal was to make the game challenging. The rising water is supposed to create pressure, so that players need to act fast. However, we can now see that not everyone is enjoying this as much as we do. Because of that I have extended the time for the flood meter to fill and I have reduced the impact of rain on the flood meter (on all difficulty levels). I’m hoping this will make the experience more enjoyable.

I have also added some quality-of-life features: the ability to skip splash screens when launching the game, the possibility to demolish Embankment and Defensive Dam, North Ocean now has 1 new landmark type decoration.

Keep an eye out for further updates and in the meantime, here’s a full changelog:
