- Announcing: The Studio Update, Coming This Week to Oogy: Can You Help - 20 March 2022
Happy Sunday! Today I'm happy to announce the next major update to Oogy: Can You Help. As you may know, this game is a passion project dreamed up by a solo indie developer. The vision is not only to create an entertaining single player experience, but also to provide a platform. A platform to create your own cards, decks, and characters, so everyone can build their own experiences and stories inside of Oogy: Can You Help. Coming this week is The Studio Update (v1.4.0), hot on the tail of The Flipside Update (v1.3.0) that already brought the creative new functionality of Flipsides and the new mechanic of Remixing an Opponent's Deck. All players on all platforms will receive this update for free. Read more about The Flipside Update here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1880310/view/3123815529801868795 The Studio Update has three core features: 1. Custom Cards, unleashing the possi…
- The Flipside Update - v1.3.0 - 17 March 2022
Hurray! There's already more to play in Oogy: Can You Help. On top of that, to help introduce new players to the several mechanics that are already in the game, the Steam Store Page has been updated to include screenshots with each card type. Here's a rundown of what you can expect from v1.3.0, available now for on platforms for free. What's New Flipsides Combine two cards! After defeating the Mud Room Closet miniboss, this crazy new ability is unlocked. Now, every time you clear a new room you are rewarded with a flipside of your choice. How does it work? Easy! After combining the cards, make sure the flipside is in your hand before a battle. Then, use the card once and it will automagically flip to the backside. But watch out: if the frontside goes away, so will the flipside. To get ready before a fight, flip cards at any time in your deck menu. Oh, and one more thing: if you put a ca…
