Alright, I did that poll and you all said you wanted daily duder spotlights to build hype. So I will! Even if I forgor yesterday.

Today, I'll be highlighting Spins.


Spins takes the form of a washing machine. A dithered image of a real, gray, front-loading washing machine. It squashes and unsquashes as it moves, and it also emits hellish, inhuman screeching sounds.

Yeah.

Spins moves between two ends of a hallway somewhat rapidly, occasionally moving to an adjacent hallway and darting back and forth there. If you touch Spins, your character becomes trapped inside it, rattling around and taking damage every second. You must mash the keys on your keyboard quickly, and here's a secret; It depends not on how many random key-smashes you can do, but on how many unique keyboard keys you can mash in 5 seconds. If you hit the requirement, you get out, and can't be trapped again for 22 seconds.

Otherwise?

Not so good for you.

Dying to Spins leads to its (his? her? their? it's a fucking washing machine thing idfk) unique death sequence, just like all other duders. The player is spat out in some sort of eerie, abandoned laundromat, prone on the floor. As you watch, the surrounding washing machines power on... and begin to screech.

As they close in, the screen fades to black.

Unlike most duders, which were inspired by something else but unique to the game, Spins was based on (and almost unchangedly lifted from) a previous concept, like Gumball. The original Spins concept was created for a Baldi's Basics fangame called Baldi's Fun Zoo, by my friend @FlameTheGamer . You can play it here on GameJolt. It was almost exactly the same as this version of Spins, except less fleshed out, and it had a shark fin atop it for... some reason. I have literally no clue where the idea for this fucker came from, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. I had forgotten about the shark fin when designing Spins's funny gumball game appearance, but I later remembered, and felt bad for leaving it out, which led to me creating Stab to make up for it.

That's about it! Please support funny gumball game in any way you can, be it volunteering assets or spreading the word of the game. Thank you!

The texture for the Distracting Chalkboard is finished!

An infuriating obstacle, this damn thing just won't shut up. Loudly saying "CHALK" over and over again might just deafen you to anything moving closer... but it'll deafen them too.

I made an official render for Stab! It probably won't be final, since I'm not a GREAT artist, but it was certainly fun to make, and I like how it turned out.

Happy #WIPWednesday!
