We once again hope to recontextualize the mechanics into completely different play styles. Do you sacrifice high Force cards and ride its coattails? Will you keep acquiring cheap fodder cards to feed the fire? Will you try to circumvent sacrificing cards altogether? #roguelike #gamedev 2/3

We launched a new playable character for Bibidi Bibidi! This time around it's a witch with a cauldron. It eats your Force cards and destroys them permanently, ahlala. Their Force however lingers for subsequent spells, so can ride its coattails and cast a multiple spells in quick succession 1/3

Eurogamer did a Bibidi demo review! Am I real boy now? www.eurogamer.net/bi... (Also, kinda fucked up that the next few articles we found are just AI or translated clones of this, is journalism truly dead?) #bibidi #deckbuilder #roguelike #cardbattler

I've fallen in love with Steam's latest ingenious card battler, and this one feels like playing with unstable elements that could explode without warning at any moment
Alongside its intriguing name and its excellent lineage, Bibidi Bibidi has a wonderful central conceit.

"I can't do art so I HAVE to use GenAI" lol cry me a river. You know people made games before GenAI right? You can: work together with an artist, use assets, or try to have a modicum of creativity and make an art style that works within your skill set. Or? Just learn a new damn skill!

A while ago I talked to a publisher who specialise in strategy games and they gave me these numbers as their benchmark for good retention/playtime. • 75/80% - 10min • 30/50% - 30min • 10/15% - 2h So we're quite relieved about where the Bibidi Bibidi demo is at right now!

This is the lifetime wishlist history of Bibidi Bibidi! Next Fest gave us a pretty decent push, we were at ~1200 going in, ~1800 after. Tonight Retromation played the game and now we're past 2100. I did a lot of email outreach (sent around 800 emails) and we participated in a couple of festivals.
