A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Now available at your local jewellery store, it’s the Sparkles & Gems Demo! Play a vivacious game of gem-smashing fun and discover some of the sparkley personalities of the unique characters in the game. Sparkles & Gems offers an experience like no other game before it, and with a demo now available, you can get a taste of the magic within. Mmmm, tastes splendiferic!
Hey everyone! We're briefly returning to Sparkles & Gems with a brand new feature! It's the ability to swap to new gem colour schemes! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40226952/016d45afea87e7890943ae7c882ef7c168475b77.png To access it from the main menu, go to "Extras" then "Customize Game Rules" and the new setting will be at the bottom! There are 10 new colour schemes in total: Capricorn Opulent Ethereal RGBY Monochrome Spring Aqua Fabulous Flat Black Flat White
Here's our new game!! It's a retro metroidvania. Check it out and wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2815500/Stardust_Demon/ It features a combination of 2D pixel art and 3D old-skool art for cutscenes, and a lot of silliness like Sparkles & Gems and cool music! If you like our work, wishlisting really helps us out and enables us to do more. Thank you!!
The soundtrack is now out!! Exciting!! We are also working with Fourth Strike Records to release a limited run of physical cassette tapes of the soundtrack, which we are super excited about!! You can pre-order a copy now at the soundtrack bandcamp page - https://resni.bandcamp.com/album/sparkles-gems-soundtrack Also there's a few fixes to the game itself: Changelog: - "Softie Meow" changed to "Softie" on win screen & text colour fixed - Fixed panning issue in Sandway's theme music - Toy bus is visible inside room after you've collected it - one of the songs is EQ'd
Small update where a couple music tracks were fleshed out more. These were the only things that felt unfinished to me in the soundtrack, now we'll work on making an OST album available for download too some time! Changelog: New section at the end of Sandway's theme A few seconds of guitar solo added to Softie's theme
Changelog: Helped prevent slowdown on older computers in a couple later story mode cutscenes Character names/colours changed in various spots in story mode and win screens Other minor cutscene changes "Squeeze-through" sound won't get cut off A different song choice for one of the story battles Credits updated
