Celebrate with me the 8th, round anniversary of the original release of Karambola*! I prepared a special art book filled with never-published-before illustrations, sketches, ideas and notes from the development process. Im sharing my thoughts on my peculiar little characters and inspirations behind the game. Its a relaxing and hopefully inspiring read for all the fruit-heads out there!


You can get it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3172920/The_Art_and_Secrets_of_Karambola/ In other news, there is now also a Turkish translation prepared by the wonderful Pnar Ebru! * ("Karambola" was first released precisely on September 7th, 2016, and then came to Steam in 2022.)

You can now play Karambola in Italian and Spanish (both Spain and Latin America variants)! This is only possible thanks to wonderful volunteers: Kotsure (vero.quinteros.c (at) gmail dot com) - for Spanish translations, and nicolas : todaro (nicolas.todaro (at) proton dot me) for Italian. Thank you both for reaching out!! <3 <3 <3 We also: - improved playability on touch screens and gamepads - made performance fixes - fixed minor flower bug in the first scene In other news, I am currently working on a stop-motion animation project about a crotchet owl; also, recently we made a small game called Rukavychka during the United with Ukraine Game Jam - you can check these out and more at https://www.instagram.com/holypangolin/ or https://mastodon.social/web/@holypangolin Links to our games and other socials are here: https://linktr.ee/agata.nawrot Thanks for reading! Fruit-out! Agata

You can now set your own avatar with characters from Karambola :) and play the game in Brazilian Portuguese! (Along with English, Simplified Chinese, Russian and Polish).
You can choose your avatar from these 13 lucky designs in your Steam profile settings! Enjoy! If you have a favorite character that you'd like to see on avatar, let us know in the comments :) When choosing an avatar, you have random 5 of them available, but just refresh the page to see the other ones!
PT-BR translation was added thanks to Isadora Souza, who liked the game and offered to translate it! I highly recommend her services, if you need a translation please write to: isadora (dot) bernadete (at) gmail (dot) com We also made a custom font to make future translations much easier! The GNU/Linux version of the game has also received a couple of fixes to improve compatibility across various distributions and Steam Flatpak installations. I also want to express gratitude for Very Positive reviews!!! Thank you so much! Some of you wrote that they'd wish to pay for "Karambola". There are a couple of ways to support me: - buy t-shirts and swag from our shops (I plan to update them soon!) - pay for one of our choose-your-own-price games - donate to my PayPal (I'll check out alternative ways of donations/patronage soon) - follow our socials to know about new projects, merchandise or new ways to support me, and like/comment/share my posts to boost my dopamine & motivation <3 It all means a lot! You can find all links here: https://linktr.ee/agata.nawrot Your support, even small, would mean a lot and be a great help for me to keep working on new projects. Every bit helps! Wish you a great week :) Fruit-out! Agata
