EXTREMELY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE READ


It has come to my attention that Unity, the engine Acceleroll is made on, has a severe engine-level exploit. It is an RCE exploit which means an attacker can remotely execute code on your machine.

However, Unity thankfully has provided a patch. And today I published a patch for all versions of Acceleroll (Windows 1.0.0/2.0.0 and macOS 0.2.0). The safe versions going forward are:

Windows: 1.0.1 and 2.0.1

macOS: 0.2.1

Q: Is my machine in danger?

A: As far as we know, no attacker has used this exploit, it was discovered by a security researcher. However, now the exploit is known and will likely be used. So I highly advise deleting the previous version of Acceleroll and downloading the new hotfix. Acceleroll also makes registry changes with it's saving system, these should be safe, however if you are still worried, when you download the hotfix, you can go to options and clear your save data. This removes every trace of it. Make sure you update as soon as possible, unlike platforms like Steam I can't push an update to all users, you have to take responsibility to update it.

Q: Is this an issue with just Acceleroll or is it all Unity games?

A: All Unity games after 2017 are affected, developers must take responsibility to update their games. This unfortunately was out of my control, as it's engine level. I can't promise the safety of other games currently, however the new Acceleroll hotfix is almost certainly safe.

Q: What platforms are affected?

A: Primarily macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android. WebGL and console platforms should be okay. My other game Trail & Trade should still be safe to play as it's WebGL. macOS and Windows do provide security features to prevent this but I can't make any promises that your OS will keep it safe.

Q: I want to read more about the exploit where can I find it?

A: Technical information is available here, although it mostly applies to developers not players:

Stay safe everyone, and keep enjoying Acceleroll with the new hotfix.

Next up

It's here! The largest update yet. Includes 8 ball pool, fishing, a sandbox mode, and a hard mode! (+ Many fixes and QOL) Patch notes below.

FinLab 1.1.0 (Time & Temp) is here! This update brings a more mechanically deep experience, changes to the core loop, some fixes/changes + some more fish and decor, there is a LOT so here is the full changelog below:

Target is getting a huge rework. I basically rewrote the movement code from scratch. You now have to actually fly and steer to score. It also makes multipliers harder.

Apple Silicon (PREVIEW) Announcement and Development Update

Target is getting a minor addition, multipliers! They multiply your score. And yes it is cumulative (all by x2), so a multiplier 4 * this powerup would be 8, thus leading to an x8 score (if you can land safely).

In the new mode you can find an updated variant of the desert levels! Thick sandstorms, howling winds, fog, limited visibility. Can you make it to the goal safely?

I have released a major update for my fish simulation/tycoon game FinLab! It includes a deep breeding system, a time of day, yearly calendar, holidays, and more. It's out now for free on WebGL!

New menu, this one isn't claustrophobic and is organized kinda (top: main modes middle: minigames bottom: extras) some of which you can only unlock during gameplay. Also added videos for the two modes! Release hopefully soon!

There's also going to be a few new decor objects and a few new fish in this update! Probably won't go overboard but I still have some ideas.

Clickity Clack. I love the sound these make. I set it up so every ball collision makes this noise so you get all these super clacky sounds and I love it.
