Star Sweepers is an ever-evolving game, and we’re inviting our community to be a part of this exciting process. This article outlines our recent community ideation initiative, where players suggested improvements to the game. We’ve implemented some of these ideas for testing, and we’re now seeking your feedback to shape the future of Star Sweepers.
What began as a simple event for users to propose ideas on how to improve and make Star Sweepers more enjoyable has now become a meaningful community activity that could transform the gaming ecosystem in Spacebar.
Star Sweepers “Community” Ideation
After carefully gathering and evaluating all the ideas proposed by our community, we narrowed them down to a select few for testing. We’ve successfully implemented these user-suggested ideas, and players will now be able to test three different modes, each with a unique element added to Star Sweepers.
Before you dive in, we’d like to share some insights. We’ve internally tested these modes before releasing them to our community. Frankly, there’s room for improvement.
However, our goal isn’t to create a perfect game right away. We want our community to experience these new modes and share their thoughts. We’re building this game together, so if you have any feedback, don’t hesitate to share it and discuss it with other users!
Proposals Implemented
Alien Ships by IdelPangolin
Alien ships collect stars. Players can shoot and destroy alien ships, causing them to release their collected stars. Ships die after 5 hits. Players choose between gathering various star types or hunting alien collectors.
Blackholes by bloodylag
Two blackholes are randomly placed in the map. Players can teleport through each of them. Players navigate around or risk entering to quickly reach other areas in the map.
Super Armor by bamsyu
After being stunned, players receive super armor and become invincible for 2 seconds. Players won’t lose a life when hit by an asteroid while the super armor is active.
How to Access the Test Modes
You can access the test mode through the link provided below or check your backspace and access the “Idea Wormhole” Portal.
Starting from October 28, players will have four weeks to test these new modes and provide feedback until November 24. During the test phase, we’ll consider updating and tweaking elements based on the feedback players provide.
The future of Multiplayer Mode
Nearly half of the suggestions from the community ideation page were requests for a multiplayer mode in Star Sweepers. This has been a popular suggestion since the game’s launch. While playing alone is fun, the enjoyment multiplies when you play with others and compete against fellow players.
Although we haven’t developed a multiplayer mode yet, and it doesn’t seem likely to happen in the next couple of months; rest assured that the team is aware of this request and will be working on it in the near future.
Our Vision for Star Sweepers
Although Star Sweepers is a hypercasual game, it has the potential to evolve into something bigger. We envision a future where:
- Users can create their own maps
- Map creators earn rewards
- Square Owners can distribute rewards to Square members based on performance
- Guilds can host their own tournaments
We want our community to guide the process of building a great gaming ecosystem in Spacebar. We need valuable feedback, community communication, trial and error, and interaction.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about building together.
So we encourage you to test the new modes over the next four weeks and stay engaged with the community for updates and discussions.
Enjoy testing out the different modes!
