Goblin Tunnels
Daily update 
Today I worked on a spawner object as I had in creepy.
Let’s call it Goblin Tunnels.
After implementing I realised that often you could kill the Goblins and the Tunnel to quickly.
So I made the Goblins do their block move 100% on suffering dmg on top of the Tunnel.
It should also be understandable for the player as they are defending their tunnel more effective being close to it.
Note: They also do a block move away from the tunnel but less often.
So as a player you want to either move quickly above and shoot from behind at the blocking Goblin and the Tunnel or wait until the Goblin is out of tunnel range where the Goblins is less likely to block and easier to kill.

Today the first enemy got created.
A ground attacking basic goblin.
Also I speed up the overall controls/movement and attack frequency / speeded up the animation. I just want it all to feel right before advancing to far.
Testing the spell „shooting“ mechanic

Awaiting the game salad update 1.25
I am right now not sure what to work on next. I did make a small update for each of my games out there but we have to wait until the software update of my tool is live first. Until then I remain thinking what to do next.

I am following this one since a while and he just handed in his game to steam.
And now he requires your vote to reach the green light state.
His game stands out with a solid core gameplay as well as graphics and effects that serve it. It’s a blast to look at and is fun to play.

Your game theme makes all the difference
Advertisers pay more to appear in games which audience is for them more relevant, more likely to join their game.
I experience a bitter demonstration of that right now and here are my two extrem cases.
Weekly Admob banner numbers:
As you see creepy has around 13x times more impressions by players, is generally played more and longer.
But it only made $1.28 and Brofist Legend $4.01.
If Creepy would have the rpm of Brofist it would have made 51,40 this week.
I wonder if there is any chance to increase the rpm of a game retroactive.
But I am afraid its just depending on your theme and keywords.
But overall I am simply happy that we have that extra monetization channel now specially since Android games had no such option before. Its not gigantic but still noticeable and helps me definitely paying my bills. So thanks game salad for adding it.
I learned something so I shared it here,

My new Game launched: Finger Dungeon
My new little game Finger Dungeon went live! I loved working on this and I hope you feel that playing it.
It’s free and work on your mobile phone ( iOS, Google Play and Amazon)
Finger Dungeon is a one-touch game and your job is to hold your finger on the screen as long as you can.
Make your way through the currently 14 levels of the finger labyrinth.
As you reach new levels, new tiles and creatures will appear in the maze, so be careful and don’t look back.
How to play:
1. Keep your finger on the screen!
2. Do NOT touch the lava!
3. Collect the coins!
4. Reach the goal line to win!
Advanced Tips:
1. Levers open doors, so no need to risk getting hurt.
2. Avoid the fire projectiles of the cannons.
3. Use the cannon projectiles to destroy the finger-eating monsters.
4. There are shortcuts which you can use between unconnected lava tiles by moving carefully and quickly between their edges.
All I can do now is wish you good luck,
David Zobrist
PS: If this game takes off I will happily add more levels on a regular basis.
