WE'RE LAUNCHING NEXT WEEK! Plus: leaderboards, post-launch, and a Swim Out sale!

Hey friends, NEXT WEEK IS LAUNCH WEEK!! We're so excited to be launching Rip Them Off on Steam next Thursday, September 24th, we can't wait to hear what you think of our jazzy tower defense puzzler.

If you haven't already, we'd be forever grateful if you could please, please, please hit the Wishlist button below. That way you'll be notified upon release, and it'll help us to reach more people with Rip Them Off:


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295860/Rip_Them_Off/
--- Now that we've all wishlisted Rip Them Off (), let's discuss two important and exciting features we recently implemented into Rip Them Off ready for launch, starting with leaderboards!

Leaderboards


That's right, leaderboards are ready and raring to go in Rip Them Off! This means that, at launch next week, you'll be able to take what you've learnt about being a corporate money-making machine, and challenge your friends (or rivals!) to a high-score battle.
Every map in Rip Them Off has it's own leaderboard, so consider this us challenging you to hit the top spot (or top three, we'll be kind) in every city. Don't forget we'll be hanging around on the leaderboards too (we're pretty good at this game, you know?), so come and show us what you've got!

Map of the Moment


Map of the Moment is a key part of our post-launch plans for Rip Them Off, and we're super excited to about it! On a regular rolling basis, we'll be releasing a Map of the Moment, this map will be one that is currently available, but we'll be shaking things up by changing and shifting aspects of the map, and adding fun modifiers to gameplay. With each Map of the Moment, you may find the Dupe entrances moved, different Dupe paths, less shops, more shops, shops in different places... The possibilities are endless!
Map of the Moment also allows us to experiment with new and interesting changes / modifiers to give your normal Rip Them Off gameplay experience a bit of a twist. You'll see the first Map of the Moment arrive pretty soon after launch, so keep an eye out for them! ---

In other news, we're celebrating next week's launch of Rip Them Off with a 66% off sale on our strategic, turn-based puzzle game Swim Out! From now until 5pm CEST / 4pm BST / 8am PT on Monday September 21st, Swim Out is 66% off on Steam that's quite a bargain if we do say so ourselves!


https://store.steampowered.com/app/662200/Swim_Out/ If you do pick up Swim Out (firstly, thank you so much!), then please do leave us a positive review on Steam, it helps immensely and the more people who pick up our games, the more we can make. --- That's all from us for now. Again, we can't wait for you to dive into Rip Them Off, it's been a labour of love for us and we think you're going to love it.

Rip Them Off releases on Thursday September 24th here on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux, and remember, your Wishlist is invaluable to tiny indie dev teams like ours, so please consider adding Rip Them Off to yours:

  • Public Linux depots

  • Rip Them Off is a minimalistic new puzzle game of economic management and tower defence. The Board needs its profit, and it’s up to you to line the streets with shops the masses can’t resist. Choose your locations, pick your stores and earn enough to advance up the corporate ladder with its increasingly difficult challenges!




    Welcome [New Hire Name Here]. We’re proud¹ to have you as the newest member² of our [Product Name Here] sales team. Here at [Subsidiary Company Name Here] we’re passionately committed to [Vague Passionate Commitment Here] and we know you are too³.

    Here at [Company Name] we’re all about giving the people what they want, and what they want is [Product Name] (the ad boys have seen to that!⁴).

    As a valuable member of our [Company] family⁵ this is where you come in.

    ¹ Any assertion of pride is purely performative and does not reflect the Board’s opinion of individual employees
    ² Unless otherwise stated new employees shall be referred to as “Office Drone”
    ³ Please see Standard Employee Contract section 11b Subsection 12: “Your New Personal Opinions”
    ⁴ Any suggestion of consumer manipulation by [Company Name] advertising practices is purely hypothetical
    ⁵ [Company Name] is a registered corporation and not a familial unit. Please see Employee Contract section 154a, “Knowing Your {Lack Of} Rights”

    Choose

    Maximising profit and satisfying the board will require planning. In each city, utilise suspiciously* empty locations and create an inescapable maze of retail opportunities the masses simply won’t be able to refuse!

    *not suspicious at all

    Spend

    Those stores aren’t gonna build themselves*! Make sure to prioritise your earning potential by managing your budget: buy the right stores in the right locations at the right price.

    *Self-building stores coming in [Unobtainable Release Date Here]!

    Earn

    Once you build it, they will come. And keep coming! But it’ll take more than one location to satisfy the Board’s exponential profiteering*. Combine locations and store types to really take them for all they’re worth and open up exciting new opportunities around the world!

    *Year on year growth is currently set at a more-than-reasonable 3015%



    • An innovative new type of game: Combining puzzle mechanics with tower defence games, Rip Them Off is a new breed of challenge, easy to pick up but hard to master.
    • Gorgeous design: Evoke your inner Mad Man with 1950s inspired music and graphics.
    • Addictive gameplay: Each new city provides an increasingly devilish challenge. Can you make it all the way to the biggest metropoles?
    • Go fast or slow: Control the flow of time to make sure your strategies unfold with perfection.

    Choose your location, choose your stores, give the people what they want. And of course, don’t forget to…

    Rip them off!
