Bells 'n' Whistles

Bells 'n' Whistles is a difficult point-and-click game that tests your ability to multitask. You must deal with the multiple systems on a machine in order to prevent it from breaking down. Are you up to the task?

Hello again! About another week has passed and a lot more work has been done. Recently I've been super motivated to add more things to the game, and a lot of additions and fixes have been made. Here's everything that's new: [list] [*] The tutorial has been completely redone in order to make it a more interactive and more enjoyable experience, and also in order to give the game a bit of personality. [*] Game over messages now display each time you lose for extra character. [*] Lots of code optimizations have been made, which increases the amount of customization options I have when it comes to level creation. [*] There are now a whopping 4 LEVELS that have been implemented into the game, with more to come. [*] All of the sound effects in the game have been completely redone. [*] A lot of the art has been looked over and polished. [/list] Ahhh... to heck with it, here's some screenshots of some of the new stuff: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37030190/e95477cb799bcb372c11914af1282cba2f20ed7d.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37030190/2cb1f3e650009eac2701cc17e1f4d918c9da2bc4.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37030190/87ec906ac3a42d77e478d6ab6251a1557d0f633d.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37030190/f3b959f206a93423af41b45ad97e5f59ffabcc51.png[/img] As for plans over the next week or two, here's what I have in mind: [list] [*] More levels! [*] Implementing background music for the menus and levels. [*] Potentially getting new screenshots for the Steam page, as well as potentially beginning work on a trailer. [*] A bunch of small tweaks [/list] We're getting close to that sweet, sweet early access release, and I am very excited. Still shooting for end of May or early June (musical reference?), but like I said, as much as I would like the early access to be released then, there's no guarantee it will be. Only time will tell. That's it for now, I hope everyone is well and staying safe! I'll see you all soon! - Tommy Galletta, Designer of Evil but Fair Game Mechanics for Bells 'n' Whistles
