[p]Hi all! Since releasing the last demo update, I've been hard at work to improve and polish the full game.

[p]Hi all! In this news update I'll talk a bit about new gameplay features, new rubber ducks and new levels. All of which will be coming to you in the full game.[/p][p][/p][h3]Even more rubber ducks[/h3][p]As you may know, the Rubber Ducks game mode is all about guiding ducks downstream. Since the last demo update, I’ve improved how special ducks appear. From valuable gold rubber ducks to big slow ones. These special ducks appear throughout the level, and the more you dislodge, the more will start arriving. So at first you just have a few plain rubber ducks, but by the end of the level, all sorts of ducks will be constantly flowing through.[/p][p]I'm also working on a bunch of smaller improvements: Randomly appearing obstacles for some more challenge, traveling instantly between levels and more precise control when sculpting sand.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]From calm pine forests to sunny beaches[/h3][p]In the full game, you’ll start high up in the mountains and make your way down to the coast. Each level will feature a different landscape: you’ll begin in calm pine forests, make your way through open meadows and eventually reach sunny beaches.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I’m currently working on the levels, but you can already get a sense of them in the latest trailer.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]Thanks![/h3][p]Thanks for checking out Babbling Brook, by the way! If you haven’t already, be sure to try the demo. Some of the features mentioned in this update aren’t included yet, but it’s still a lot of fun. Don’t forget to wishlist the game so you’ll know when it’s released![/p]

[p]Hi all! The next update for the Babbling Brook demo is out now. It comes with a new and improved Rubber Ducks game mode, smoother gameplay in the Bridges game mode, more music and much more.[/p][p][/p][h3]More rubber ducks[/h3][p]The Rubber Ducks game mode received a big upgrade. Special types of ducks can appear anywhere in the level. From valuable golden ducks to exploding ducks which cause a bit chaos. You can also earn lots of points by guiding ducks to one or more score multipliers.[/p][p]And you can now play this game mode on all levels in the demo.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]More improvements[/h3][p]This update also comes with some much needed tweaks to the Bridges game mode. Bridges detect water more easily, making the mode more fun to play. The update also features multiple game modes per level, additional music, better controller support and more.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]What’s next?[/h3][p]I’ll now be working on finishing the full game.
