This post is just to celebrate the release of Keep It Steady on Steam!
6 Months ago I started working on this game (which really isn't that long ago) for my dad who likes playing arcade and retro games. This game was originally inspired by a old mechanical arcade machine game called Ice Cold Beer that my dad used to like playing.
My dad thought this game was really cool and told me it would be interesting to see it made into a video game, so that's what I did. After a few weeks I made a sort of functioning version of Keep It Steady and over a few months later I had fixed, improved, and added various features to the game until finally releasing it on Google Play and than Steam.
Today the game has controller support, online and local high score systems, and much more other features. In the future I will try to continue adding more and more features to the game making it better and better for existing and future players!
In this game you will rely on physics as you take control of a paddle or platforms left and right sides. With this ability you will be able to lift up or down either side of the paddle allowing you to be able to control the gravity or mass of a small ball sitting on top of the paddle. Your goal is to be able to manipulate the paddles sides correctly to make the ball sitting on top of the paddle go in whichever direction you want. There is currently 2 game modes with other sub game modes included in them each with their own goal.
Point By Hole
In the Point By Hole game mode you are to move the sides of the paddle up and down to roll the ball in the glowing lit hole to score points. But be careful if you are to roll the ball accidently into a black unlit hole it will cost you a life. if you lose too many lives the game will be over.
Climb
In the Climb Game mode you will be trying to guide the ball away from every hole. If you touch any hole it will make you lose a life and if you lose too many lives it will be game over. However every hole is moving in either a up, down, left, or right direction making it a challenging experience to dodge every hole thrown your way. Your only goal in this mode is to survive as long as you can and get the best time.
High Score Board
This game features a online or local high score board for all game modes. On the online board try your hand at being the best in the world at one of the game modes or even all of them! On the local board you can play against others who use your PC and you can have a friendly competition with people around you you know.
