You might know that Ooblets is a game about farming 
, friendship 
, and collecting creatures 
and you may even know that our creature battles are 
DANCE battles…pic.twitter.com/ryITDM5ND6

but underneath it all were the same basic mechanics as before. And it wasn’t really… fun. We wanted more randomness, clearer strategy, and PRETTIER PICTURES, so what else would we go with than…pic.twitter.com/wFn4F0VjyJ

First, a step back in time… 
affair where each turn you could pick one move between up to 3 ooblets.
Typical damage, heals, buffs, cooldowns. BORING.
CARDSSSS
This is the NEW card-based gameplay
This particular vid is actually a lil outdated since @nonplayercat wouldn’t record a new one for me at 4am last night when I was putting this all together 
— it’s current state is a lot clearer and the cards look betterpic.twitter.com/UPYL3SQuHS

Here’s how it works: Each ooblet has a “deck” of dance moves that random hands are drawn from each turn. Your team's ooblet decks are combined if it’s a 2v2 or 3v3 match so some ooblets may have more/less moves than others each turn (each card border corresponds to its ooblet).pic.twitter.com/xICn96ZSwy

Moves have beat costs which are like action points, and you can play as many cards as you have available beats that turn. You get a set number of beats per turn (depending on whether it's 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3) and some cards can get you more beats.pic.twitter.com/wxdjSUEPMh

After your ooblets level up, they’ll be able to learn new moves, which involves getting a new card for their deck. We’re also thinking you’ll be able to upgrade moves (paid for with your farm's produce) but we haven’t implemented that just yet.pic.twitter.com/D1y6WoVlON

There are a bunch of other little improvements as well, like changes to status effects to make them either last the whole round (unless debuffed) or just a single turn (like stun). That makes everything a lot easier to communicate to players.

All in all, this new card-based gameplay change has finally made the battles FUN (at least to us, but we think you’ll agree). It’s way easier to balance the overall game now and everyone who’s played the new demo at PAX seemed to grasp it really quickly.pic.twitter.com/3iBFLFoCuu

ALSO for ages we’d been wanting to add an extensive collectable card minigame to the game, but we would have never gotten around to that, so this card battle system works out perfectly!pic.twitter.com/FP8kPItbCm

We’re also hopefully gonna be doing a video going over all this stuff if I can convince
@nonplayercat to record one with me, so stay chooned! Thanks for following along and I can’t wait to show you all the other fun stuff we have in store for Ooblets!pic.twitter.com/GXQMry8dYGShow this thread -
