🐷 Pixel Washer: Devlog 2

I'm deep in the Swamp.

I'm climbing Content Mountain.

I'm fighting the swarm boss that is Finishing a Game.

This fight is far from over, so let's talk about some recent victories in Pixel Washer, my chill game about washin' pixels.

📺 Watch the video

Here's the list of new stuff I used to walk through the video:

1) Levels

• Tutorial
• Recreation zone – now with puddles!
• Food truck fleet – now with wind!
• Tacos – tacotruckipede
• Infinite Art

2) Features & polish

• "Griddable" selector polish
• Celebration polish – ASTONISHING!
• Footstep sounds
• Dedicated OINK! button
• Player skins – cats! dogs! uh, raccoons, oh my!
• Interstitial (bubbles)
• Auto level selection (debug feature)

3) User Interface

• Language support (やったー!)
• Hoverable selectable menu items
• Credits
• Keyboard configuration
• Gamepad configuration
• Mouse configuration
• Dynamic input type detection

4) Power Washing

• Visible cleaning
• Sprayer math
• New guns, cycling thru them

5) Bug Fixes

• Optimize colliders
• Prevent keyboard up/down from scrolling page (on Itch)
• Fix grime overlap bug (mostly)

6) Outro

• Washlist on Steam now opens in external app
• Solar System level (I am currently obsessed with space)

That's a lotta stuff, but it's not that interesting as a list of text – it's much more compelling as a video – which you can watch right here!
