Just left my review. It's every bit as good as I hoped! You guys really killed it. The comparison I made was between Balatro (card values summed/multiplied) and Clash Royale (units marching forward). And the UI - OMG. So much charm and style. It's a delight to see the whole thing in motion.

We got a LOT of feedback post launch from players who were put off by the name 'Royale' in the title, thinking it was a BR style game.

Given you have just seconds for players scrolling by for them to decide whether to click, we've adopted the unusual strategy of a rebrand.

We're doing something unconventional: Bramble Royale will be rebranded as Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble prior to its mobile launch!

It took a minute to collect enough ratings but Bramble Royale is finally 'Very Positive' on Steam!

Damn sorry that happened ๐Ÿ˜• I refreshed literally hundreds of times. Could be that it's sold out or even that your slot came and went? Once you're up you only have 10 minutes to complete purchase.

I finally got around to draw again so I did a fanart for the wonderful indygame Bramble Royale by @slothwerks.bsky.social
A really enjoyable and charming card battling roguelike starring the adroable bearserker Bramble and his fighting arena.
Check it out here:

Forgot to mention I was in mine for like 20 minutes

I just kept refreshing and eventually it popped up that I was eligible to buy. I got in mine at :58, or 2 min before release. Good luck!

Took about 20 minutes of waiting in line but finally scored one in Walmart. Target was a bust

Brings me so much joy to see someone make fan art for the game โค๏ธ fantastic illustration, thanks for sharing!

How do I get a Severance / Lumon skined version of Blue Prince?

Appreciate the kind words!

If there's a bright spot here, it's that there may be lessons in Bramble's shortcomings that can help other indie devs avoid the same mistakes.

Rebrand or name change for the mobile release is something I'm seriously considering.

It's probably hard / impossible to fix the Steam release, but I plan to support it with some content updates anyway. Not likely to move the needle, but maybe a small boost.

I spent 4 years and $60k developing a game. It bombed on Steam

The most popular comment on my semi-viral self-roast of Bramble on /r/indiegaming: people REALLY don't like 'Royale' in the title.

It occured to me that SOME people may confuse the name w/ a battle royale game, but I underestimated the strength of that correlation.
