Dear Caromble! friends,For us, playing Caromble! with a mouse has always been the optimal experience. A mouse lets you directly control the paddle's position, while a keyboard or gamepad analog stick controls the paddle by influencing its speed instead.However, we've noticed that many players enjoy Caromble! on handheld devices or with a gamepad. That's why we've spent time improving these control schemes. Gamepad and keyboard controls have been significantly refined, and the sensitivity setting now also applies to keyboard controls. We hope these improvements give everyone a better chance of

Dear Caromble! friends,In our last update we mentioned our efforts in finding a publisher or PR-partner that can help us launch the 1.0 version of Caromble!. We'd like to give on update on this, but first... We added localization to Caromble! and have ingame language support for 10 extra languages! If you like your brick breaking in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese or Japanese you are now able to choose this in the options menu. En voor onze Nederlandse Caromble! vrienden hebben we ook onze eigen taal ondersteund, gewoon omdat het kan :)We have done the translatio

Dear Caromble! friends, We just released a small update. We got feedback about the difficulty of Caromble! and some players weren't aware that the difficulty (the number of mercy balls) can be changed in the options menu. Because we want all type of players to be able to enjoy Caromble! we added the 'Difficulty button' to the game over screen as well. Hopefully it will help some players to stay motivated to reach the end. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9905923/dc0840cce3921d8c25e09da49491806740eebb16.jpg The last couple of months have been a different kind of adventure for us.

Dear Caromble! friends, Today is the day. After 15 years of development, Caromble! is completed with all intended features, levels and now finally with all story elements. To experience the story of Caromble! in this update, please replay the Prologue and Epilogue level. Though Caromble! is not a narrative experience and was never intended as one, we are very happy to have these narrative elements in play. For us personally it makes Caromble! complete. We feel that we crafted an experience that now is as complete as we could make it. We hope that the added story brings some joy and somehow dee

Dear Caromblers! Ever since we saw the first announcement of the Steam Deck, we knew we wanted to make sure Caromble! could run on it. Today we're excited to tell you that not only does Caromble! run on the Deck natively (at the best graphics settings), we might have to admit that we enjoy the game best on the Deck. The work on supporting the Deck began this summer. Since we didn't have our own Steam Deck yet, we used a Steam Controller and a laptop with similar specks for our first beta versions. After we got our own Steam Deck in August, we spend many, many hours optimizing the game, the gra
