Last week was a major milestone for Vibe Clicker as I pushed toward the alpha release. The game received significant polish with the addition of 40 upgrade icons, complete with hover tooltips and visual upgrade notifications to enhance the player experience. I implemented an options menu featuring full-screen support and audio controls for the newly added music and background sounds. The game flow was refined with a fresh title screen, credits scene, and preliminary ending sequences.
Behind the scenes, I did some balancing passes, overhauled the upgrade requirement system, and built in a game reset mechanic (though I know the save system still needs work). Several new achievements were added to reward player progression, and I’m excited to announce that an alpha test build is ready. I’ve had tons of great feedback so far and even tackled some of the changes on stream. The game is really starting to feel complete as we approach the beta milestone!
