Version 1.2.1

We've updated Dudelings with a series of features and fixes that should improve the gameplay experience! We're super stoked for this new client release as it's addressed a few long-standing issues and we're excited for your feedback. You'll find our changelog below. If you encounter an issue, sound off in the comments or join our Revolt server.

Updates


  • Reorganized game assets to simplify the process of exporting them into the FOSS build of the game
  • Made some upgrades to the games assets to reduce overall download/disk usage size
  • Backported some features/assets of the Android build to the main branch
    • This included re-encoding the video files in the how to play and launch movie to lower bitrates
    • Removing the video file that played in the background of the Main Menu and replacing it with static images that were animated in Godot
    • Backported the custom virtual gamepad in the Android port to the main branch
  • Added a link to our new Revolt server on the Main Menu
  • Changed all links & references to our new canonical domain name: heavyelement.com
  • Made some changes to the underlying code to unify the demo and retail codebase as much as possible
    • The demo features one map, one game mode, and some customization features disabled. It should be on Steam soon!

Bug fixes


  • Fixed instances where game would randomly fail to launch on Intel graphics under Linux operating systems
  • Fixed a glitch where the ball could get stuck between the left- or right-most Dudeling and get placed out of bounds
  • Fixed an issue with unlocking Destination map where criteria was met, but the map didnt unlock until the game was restarted
  • Fixed a visual glitch where labels for CheckButtons would disappear when in a hover state (thanks moocow1452)
  • Fixed an issue where requests to the news endpoint failed silently
  • Improved error handling for new news items on the Main Menu and in the Whats New submenu
Also, if you're a coder, we've got good news! We've launched the official Dudelings FOSS project on GitHub. This build was actually produced using the first release of our free and open source codebase. If you're interested in helping out, let us know!

Dudelings Demo


Finally, we've got excellent news! We've produced a demo version of Dudelings! Our goal is to get the game in front of folks, allow them to give it a try, and make an informed decision on if this game is worth $5. (We think it is). The demo is available for Linux and Windows, so give that a shot. The other thing about the demo is that it gives a free entrypoint into the open source version of the game. The assets are not licensed under the GPL, so if you want to get into development and you don't own a copy, you can download and extract the demo's assets for use with Dudelings FOSS!

The elevator pitch for Dudelings is "what if Pong, but foosball?"

Along the bottom of the playfield are a series of neutral characters (let's call them "Dudelings"). Players cycle through these Dudelings during gameplay, controlling one at a time. Dudelings under player control can jump, dash, and punch their way to victory. Use your Dudeling minion to control the ball, defend your goal, and go on the offensive!

Multiple types, in fact. Whack 'em, sack 'em; the choice is yours. There's the normal ball, the bowling ball, the beach ball, and even a balloon. Each adds its own unique spin to the gameplay. The goal is simple: get the ball into the... well... goal.

When a player's Dudeling touches the ball, it turns their color allowing them to score in their opponent's goal (none of that own-goal stuff).

When the ball hits a pickup, it's sure to liven up the arena! Pickups can spawn in extra balls, punish the other team, warp the ball to another location, and even change the ball type. Keep your eyes peeled as these power-up tokens can cause an upset.

Dudelings offers multiple game modes to liven up the sportsball experience. Choose from:
  • "Classic" mode where each team has a goal they must defend
  • "Baskey" mode where both teams compete to get the ball in one goal
  • "Volley" mode where each team controls their side of the net

Taking cues from the games that inspired us as kids, Dudelings is a local multiplayer-optimized experience. You won't find any of the online-only DRM-laden shenanigans that AAA publishers foist on the gaming public. Nah dude. Two players. One TV. Head-to-head. On the sofa. Within punching distance of your opponent.

No lag, no ping, and no host getting an advantage...

...with that said if you want to play with someone online, you can. This game was designed to accommodate Remote Play Together. It's pretty great and (best of all) it works. But we still prefer local multiplayer.

Not that fake GPT AI crap, either. Nah. This is the genuine article*. The kind you can compete against and that doesn't lie to you.

To complement this handsome package, Dudelings features an original soundtrack created by veteran psychedelic rock/jazz group "The Brothers Nylon."

Dudelings: Arcade Sportsball is one of those rare, genre-defining titles that spawns many imitators, but has yet to be bested. The genre? The "Sportslike." Pit your Dudelings against each other in a frenetic battle for massive points in a way that vaguely resembles a real-world sport where you touch grass and stuff.

Dudelings: Arcade Sportsball delivers that fast, arcade sportslike action you crave.

*Genuine article: what AI used to mean. Back when the terms "AI" and "CPU" were interchangeable.
