Cult of PiN

First off, an enormous thank you to everyone who has jumped in so far! The reception over the last 24 hours has blown my expectations out of the water, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it! A massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has bought the game, played it, and taken the time to give feedback and report bugs. It honestly means the world to me.While I'm collating the vast amounts of invaluable feedback for content and fixes down the road, I wanted to get a hotfix out asap to address some of the critical bugs and raise some limits for players already pushing the game to its limit - it turns out you are all so much better than me at this game it's almost a little unsettling :)Cap & Score IncreasesExtended Endless Mode: Increased the maximum Endless Mode stage limit from Act XX (20) to Act XXX (30).Increased Score Ceiling: Raised the in-game maximum score limit from 2.4 billion up to 9.2 quintillion (9.2x 10^18) - if anyone hits that I give up :DUpdated Leaderboards: Added leaderboard support for score values up to 9.2 quintillion, although I need someone better than me to score over 3 billion to confirm this fix actually works ;) Previous scores abo

With just a few hours to go before release, I thought I'd distract myself by sharing a quick update on what didn't quite make it into the v1.0 build and what to expect over the coming months.I've noted down every single bug report, suggestion and piece of feedback that I've received, however building a solo project means I have to be mindful of my time and have had to focus on the things with the biggest impact. For v1.0, I've been focusing almost entirely on bugs, core mechanics, feel, and balance. That means a few requested features were pushed back, but I want to highlight that they are very much on the way!Immediate Priority (Week 1 + 2): Post-Launch Patches & FeedbackOnce the game is live, for my own sanity I'll probably go touch some grass for a few hours but when I come back: First Bug & Balance Patch: I'll be collating and analysing all the immediate feedback and get a patch out ASAP addressing the most critical bug or balancing issues.Follow-Up Patch: I expect to to make subsequent passes over the following weeks as players start to work their way through the higher difficulty runs and later tables.Next Few Months (2026)Dedicated

Hi all,I am incredibly excited to finally reveal the Cult Of PiN release date trailer! It’s been an incredible journey since the first demo build on Itch almost 2 years ago, and seeing how many of you have played the demo and given your feedback has been completely and utterly surreal. Thank you all for the suggestions, bug reports, and generally for helping me turn this wierd game idea into a reality.There you have it,Cult of PiN will be launching onAugust 10th, 2026!​I am now in the final polish phase of balancing Glyphs and Blessings, polishing Audio and adding VFX wherever I can squeeze it in. A quick reminder that the 1.0 version will include 4 full tables, 8 playable balls, 100 Glyphs, 32 Blessings and 20 Curses to experiment with, as well as Endless Mode for highscore chasers.If you enjoyed the demo, the best way to support the final launch would be to Wishlist the game if you haven't already, it would really help the algorithm find the game on launch day, especially for a small solo dev project like this.I’ve pushed a small patch to the demo build as well today to add some better VFX for boss spells, fix some minor collision issues and improve a couple of the Glyphs th
