I feel like it might be a bug- but every one of the controls feel like there's a layer of molasses between my keypress and the game response. I'm constantly fighting with the character controller, over-shooting or under shooting where I want to be. Even opening the menus, viewing the build options etc. I'm on Windows with keyboard btw.
It's such a cool concept but it's just such a chore to play in it's current state
I've had my eye on all your games for a while and decided to pick this one up as my first... and It's really really fun. I keep discovering new things nearly every playthrough, and base defense mechanics are elegantly done. Amazing work you all!
Scavenger is an incredible reimagining of the Match-3 genre. First, there's two clocks - you have to keep your stacks low but you also have to stop the raiders. To make it even more challenging, each resource has its own match pattern. That would be enough to make a fresh game but that's not enough for PUNKCAKE, who have made a name for themselves for adding subtle complexity. To succeed you will need to use all the controls - grab sideways, not just underneath, throw blocks, and work in both planes. As always, I'm in love with PUNKCAKE's pixel art and Pentadrangle's soundtrack. And it's their first 2P game!
One bug: I paused the game, and then later resumed, but the entire screen still had the green pause menu effect on the entire game window, making it quite difficult to see what was going on.
I am on windows 10. This seems to happen after pausing the game while in windowed mode, alt-tabbing to something else for a few minutes, and then alt-tabbing back to resume the game.

Controller support does not work.
Pls make demos😭😭😭
Very challenging arcade/match/tower defense game. I've played for 15 hours so far and I feel like I'm still discovering it.
Awesome! ❤️
Hey, any plans for porting this game on Linux?
Yes actually! No ETA for now but we're trying to get to it and it will definitely happen eventually, hopefully soon!

Thanks for letting us know, we're looking into it!
Wow! Great concept! How about Steam release?

Great fun game. I can't wait to get some time to explore it further.
Neat fun game!
For the records it works very well in Linux + Wine ;)
Does the game record my best single player scores? I don't even care about global leaderboards, but NEED to see my own top score.
Yes I agree with that. I was in a rush to finish it, I will add it asap. Keep tuned for 1.1
No problem, and thanks!
And done! :)
