store.steampowered.comMancalero on SteamMancalero turns the strategy game Mancala into a combo engine: sow fire, lightning, multiplying and black hole marbles, discover synergies, chain extra turns into massive scores, and break each oppone...

Quite a humble first NextFest, and maybe some could consider it a failure, but nearly 100 people took the time to play Mancalero out of over 7,000 demos, and 14.3% of them Wishlisted after playing! Thank you all so much!! #SteamNextFest #GameDev #IndieDev

Nearly a quarter played for 30 minutes (the intended playtime w/o endless) and only a few (14%) went beyond. I might be the one who played for 5 hours too haha Currently sitting at 240 wishlists, thankful for each and everyone! Try it for yourself! store.steampowered.com/app/4811700/...

Surely now, during the next fest, is the perfect time to start outreach for the upcoming demo for Particle Collectotron! People need things to play AFTER next fest, too! #indiegame #gamedev

Next Fest, day 3: I've seen Twitch streams of 1,004 of the 3,037 fest demos I could match to a category. 587 had one or two streamers, so the board doesn't name them. Type your demo into the lookup: it says if I couldn't match it, or none, one or two, or the exact count from three up. #gamedev

Another Mancalero Marble Showcase! This time we’re looking at the Flood Marble 🔵🌊 It strategically allows you to surge marbles from one pit to another. This was my very first special marble idea to alter Mancala and it uses a shader to mimic water physics! #gamedev #indiedev #marble

Take a look at the multiply marble in Mancalero! 🔴 Not only can it multiply the number of marbles in a pit for huge captures or added scoring, but it also works with other special marbles and blessings for hilarious chains and broken scores! #gamedev #indiedev #NextFest

I came home tonight after celebrating Thanksgiving to something that made my eyes pop and jaw drop- over 150 wishlists for Mancalero!! Thank you all so much for your support and interest in the game! Doing my very best to put out the best game that I can 🙏🏿 #gamedev #indiedev #NextFest

I’m getting chills counting down the days to NextFest and my release date! If you haven’t had a chance to try out the new v1.02 demo of Mancalero (with a controller), what are you waiting for?! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Also made some improvements to my Capsule Marble opening (as seen in my new trailer) to buff your scoring based on the marble rarity tier. This should look somewhat familar to a certain poker-based game haha Finishing touches in preparation for my build on Oct 8th! #gamedev #indiedev #NextFest

I've thoroughly enjoyed working on Mancalero, but it's also been great to work on a few other projects concurrently. I can't wait- I have about 2 small games and one other dream game I'm hoping to commercially release. We'll see as they develop, but I'm having loads of fun on my next one coming up!

All I can ask for for my first game is that I made something good enough to have people enjoy it. Seeing reviews like this is an extremely cool feeling 🥰 If you wanna join the cool kids, we're in the back playing Oh!Ware 😎 #ScreenshotSaturday store.steampowered.com/app/4121430/...
