Time to Morp - Our new game



"Dude, Stop" is a puzzle game, where the main goal is to not follow the rules and make everybody hate you. Break it, abuse it, skip the tutorial, ignore tips and tricks in the loading menu and - most importantly! - mute the narrator.

For example, stop reading this paragraph and skip to the next one. You're still reading. Still looking here. Annnd... done. You've broken your first rule and annoyed us a little bit. And didn't even buy the game yet! Wow, you're talented. Have you considered quitting your job and doing this full-time?

Collect all rewards, unlock all achievements and brag to your buddies that you've enraged some poor developer from a video game and made him scream at you just like in the trailer. Do your best. Or worst. Or both at once.

Key features:

  • Dive into countless* puzzles carefully made by the developers. Some of them relatable, some of them not. Who cares, buy the damn game
  • Fully voiced narration of both good and bad solutions. You can ignore or mute it all you want, it's still there
  • All kinds of shiny rewards and achievements assembled by a hungry underpaid developer in a basement just so you can feel justified breaking another level and giggling for five seconds
  • Many moments where you will be saying "What?", "Why?" and "Preordering videogames is good". Just kidding, you will mostly be just clicking stuff and dragging and throwing it all over the screen
  • Self-aware humor that simply tries waaay too hard. This includes timeless references that only our weird programmer can understand. Like "42" and "You're gonna have a bad time". What a nerd, haha

* unless you count them. Please don't count them

Dude, Stop - Halloween Patch

News

Dude, Stop - Logo


Hello, “Dude, Stop” player!! Let’s have a chat, shall we?! It’s been a long time since the last blog, so I guess we need to explain a few things, like... where have we been, what’s up, are we even alive, what are we workin’ on, and what we had for dinner. For example, I had beans.

Halloween patch

Today we are releasing a tiny patch! It contains new voice lines, some new graphics and YOUR JOKES! From the contest!! That’s right - we finally did it! No need to thank us.

The patch is going to stay live for a couple of weeks, then we will roll it back, and prep the Christmas patch. Sadly, no new puzzles are planned for either of those patches...

New Puzzles?

titleBG 1


You are right to ask us “where are new puzzles?”, but the answer isn’t that straightforward. At first we thought we could easily pull out some new content, new jokes, a new story, wrap it in a new patch, and call it “Your Lucky Day”. But then we drew new puzzles...

...and realized one thing: we don’t really have cool ideas left. All cool and fun ideas that we had are already in the game. Yes, we do have a list of over 200+ ideas, but majority of them is a rehash and/or reskin of old ideas. We need something fresher to justify the new patch with a label “NEW CONTENT!”.

So what does this mean? Are we done with “Dude, Stop”? There will be no patches, fixes and ports? Well, not really! “Dude, Stop” is a cool game with lots of players and it would be dumb to abandon it completely. There are still a couple of things we could do, there are still some platforms we could port it to (I even have that platform lying around somewhere at home), and we still could come up with a NEW and FRESH idea, around which we could pivot new patch and content. We just need to find that idea now... maybe even try 3D? Hm

TL;DR

titleBG 1


To make it clear: we have some new puzzles for the “Dude, Stop”, but it’s not enough for a meaningful patch. We need more! Fresh ideas, new inspiration, cool twists and funny jokes.

But we are not going to just sit and wait for the ideas to come. We are thinking about doing something else... something new. After all, because of your support, we can now continue as a studio, and stay in game development for a little longer. What? You expected us to take money and disappear?! Oh no-no-no, we gonna throw new stuff at you now! HA!

...Aaand I guess that’s all. Hm. Leave a comment if we disappointed you! :D

Demo is a improved version of the Ludum Dare entry. We added more puzzle, improved old ones and worked more on the UI.

I really didn't know what to expect from this game. It initially looked whimsical so I though I would try it out. The fact that the object of the game is to be the biggest butt possible to an OCD AI is oddly satisfying. It really helps in releasing any pent up frustration lol so thanks for that. It did seem a little short though but I do realize that it is still under development. I will be looking for any more additions you make to the game. If you want to check out my gameplay video, you can do so here:

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it! We're also glad you liked the demo version, because the full game will contain a lot more OCD nightmares and much more of "being a butt"!

And thank you for your video, Not-even-a-half-rebel.
