3 tiles per turn. Who wins from here? Trample. A turn-based strategy, carve paths and race for the bounty. Free demo: tramplegame.app?from=bluesky #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

3 tiles a turn is tight. In playtests do people go straight for the bounty, or spend turns cutting off each other's paths?

Usually blocking if the opportunity is there, if not its positioning for the later and higher scoring bounties. What would you go for? And what makes 3 tiles feel tight?

From the clip I'd probably block first and save the big bounties for later. Tight in a good way: with only 3 tiles, one detour means you can't block and grab a bounty in the same turn, so every step is a trade-off.

Sounds good, why don’t you give it a go and let me know what you think? Free browser demo in the link above or on itch: tramplegame.itch.io/trample

Gave it a go. Won the first field 66-60, grabbed the 6 and 10 sacks but your rival walled me in up top and I had to double back through my own mud. Drawing an L by picking up from the dot feels great. Do the later fields get tighter, or add more water?

Glad you enjoyed! The later fields can be more crowded with obstacles, yes. But also more opponents. The bounty timer can be longer as well. So because of those three things the fields get bigger too!

More obstacles, more opponents and a longer timer all at once is a nice way to scale it up. Does the campaign end on one big final field, or is there an endless mode after it?

Currently working on that, there will be a final boss. And other game modes. But you will have to wait and see I have an early access planned but need to get some more players interested. If you sign up on tramplegame.app I’ll notify you when it’s out 😊

A final boss is a good fit for the bounty setup. Hope the early access comes together.
