Post Jam Plans


Overall Shuffolks! did really well in the GMTK 2021 game jam, coming in 21st overall. We're currently working on a post-jam update to Shuffolks! to address a number of issues with the jam version. The post-jam version will become the default browser playable game and we'll leave downloadable links to the original jam version.

There's no scheduled date for when we'll have the post-jam update done but here are the high level changes planned:

  • Reworked controls: There will be toggle-able options to either hold shift for shuffle mode or press shift to toggle in and out of shuffle mode. Both keyboard and mouse will exist for shuffling folks. Controller support will also be added.
  • Undo: The lack of undo made some of the longer levels in the jam version particularly frustrating and we'll be adding proper undo support (including undo-ing past restarts) to the game.
  • Level changes: Some levels such as 2-3, 3-3, and 3-star had unintended solutions or red herrings which will be patched up while keeping the core ideas the same. Some other levels such as 1-5, 2-5, and 3-2 did not introduce any new or interesting ideas and will be replaced with new levels. Finally, the difficulty curve of the game is a bit steep and the early levels in world 1 will be reworked to ease players into the game better.
  • Graphical updates: Both world 2 and world 3 graphics are planned to be overhauled. In addition, we would like to make it clearer whether a block is not attached, attachable, or permanently attached and we'll be experimenting with updated visuals for these 3 states.

Shuffolks! also has a lot of potential for additional worlds with new mechanics so we may work on an expanded version after the post-jam release. To stay in the loop, follow us on Itch at https://kz.itch.io/ and https://shakeonigiri.itch.io/.
