Hello again! I’ve introduced a batch of new characters to Doughball Descent, which you can check out on Steam here. There are 4 total playable characters and if you haven’t been keeping up to date, I’ve also doubled the item and event count since the release of Full Course, in addition to adding a bossfight at the end of each loop, and a brand new screen wrapping system!
I’ve been working on this project on and off since 2020 and would be delighted if you revisited it or checked it out for the very first time! And if you enjoy it, please leave a review, it helps out tremendously for the visibility of the game
Enjoy playing!

To be honest, I’ve heard about it, but I didn’t dare try it. I wanted to give it time so it could reveal its best side. Perhaps now is the time to spend 320 rubles (of course, the lack of Russian will be a significant problem, but I hope everything will be fine).

btw, how do you unlock starting from stage 2 and forward?
to unlock starting at stage 2, you have to beat it, reaching the first level of stage 3. good luck!
Then im afraid i found a bug (2 actually)
- I unlocked the second character (really really fun btw) but i cant yet go directly to the 2 layer. I have not yet been able to reach the third layer a second time, but if i manage to reach it again and the level select still doesnt unlock ill let you know.
- Sometimes, between stages the choices get mixed up. Mostly when the shop and the food tunnel thing. When i want to go to the shop, i end up on the tunnel.

huh, ill have to look into that, it could be a bug with specifically the itch version? im also aware of the tunnel bug though i thought i had already fixed it, maybe not
ok it seems like the bug is specifically for the second zone shortcut, how bizarre. unlocking the 3rd zone by reaching the 4th unlocks them both. i’ll have a patch with that fixed soon!
Uploaded a hotfix for the unlock as well as a few other bugs, haven’t figured out the selection issue just yet
Loving the new update! I haven’t managed to unlock the fourth character yet because i’m bad , but I’m having a lot of fun with the game so far!
I’m not sure how to use the “consumable level skip” item, there doesn’t seem to be a way to use it via the pause menu, it doesn’t seem to activate on its own during normal gameplay, and the mouse is disabled while the game is running. Is there something I’m missing?

Oh, Escape Rope? That’s triggered with E, I find myself forgetting a lot too, I should probably make that clearer in the description
Is that what it’s called? I don’t think the names of any of the items are displayed anywhere. Standing in front of them in the shop just displays the text with their effects on it, and during gameplay it’s just the icon by itself.
The only two items I actually know the names of are the Escape Rope, because you just told me, and the Helium Tum, because the shopkeeper mentions it in their dialogue.

Writing a new system in the pause menu to display all held items and their descriptions, I also changed the shop and item pedestals to show the names as well! This patch will be out tonight or tomorrow night
