Exciting news from the Noodle Party universe! We are thrilled to announce that we have completed the development of special items. We created them to enhance the gameplay and provide you with even more tools. You will encounter three different gadgets:
The Magnifier
With this special item, you can choose the topic for your next question. Select your favorite category to increase the odds of knowing the answer or explore new subjects.
The Halver
Reduce the chances of making mistakes with the Halver! When a question stumps you, use this gadget to eliminate two wrong answers. Increase your odds of success when you're unsure of the correct response.
The Swapper
Change your strategy with the Swapper! If you don't know the answer to the given question, don't worry! Simply use this gadget to swap the question with another from the same category. Gain another chance to answer correctly and score points!
You can acquire these gadgets during mini-games, but you can only have one of each. Therefore, you need to manage them wisely to make the most out of your gameplay. We believe that these special items have successfully achieved the goal of making the game more exciting. We can't wait for others to try out the end result. :)
Development update #2
As the year is progressing, we are back with an update about our love project! The start of the year was especially eventful for us, as we moved to a new flat. This took up most of January. But now that everything is in order, we are back to developing Noodle Party in our free time!
First mini game is ready
Since the last post, we've finished our first mini game, created a common UI structure for all the future ones, and finalized all the related systems! We are really happy how everything turned out, especially the UI. We think it's really good to look at. Simple yet informative.
Navigation in menu improved
We made some adjustments to our menu system based on feedback. As you may know, we decided to do a rather unconventional menu system that is in 3D space. While it's much more interesting than a conventional 2D system, this may not be as straight forward for some. We feel that the improvements definitely helped in this regard.
Gems -> Special items
In the coming months, we are targeting to finish the "special item systems". ( Formerly known as gems. ) These are items that one can gather during the Tower Challenge mode. Later to be used in one's turn to help if there is a tough situation.
Also, we are working on other mini games and adding more questions to the quiz pool! We will be back with an another update soon!

Future
Dear noodle friends,
It's time for an update about Noodle Party! This summer was pretty challenging for us because of several things.
First, the main goal was to reach a stage where the game's main systems are in place. Also, for the Tower Challenge mode to be functionally ready. We're very happy to report that this goal has been achieved! 🎉 We invited close friends to test the game and played many rounds. We received positive reviews and gained valuable insights on where to improve. ( Mostly UI stuff. )
The next difficulty we faced on our journey was the funding of the project. You may know that Noodle Party has a tiny team of 1,5 developers. (One full-time and one part-time developer). Around July we reached a crossroads. We had to raise funds for our full-time developer to stay on the project. So we decided to start a Kickstarter campaign so we can keep her on the project. Unfortunately, our small community could not reach the minimum goal of funding the project. Never the less, we're glad we created the campaign because it was a hell of a lot fun to make!
So what does the unsuccessful campaign mean for Noodle Party? 🤔 Since both of us can only work on the project in our free time, the development will slow down a bit. We wish to work on the project as much as we can and finish it with all our love! 😍 Updates will be delivered here and also on our social platforms as before. Stay tuned!
Regards, The noodle party team 😽
Noodle Party on Kickstarter
🥁 Drumroll please ...🥁 We're very happy to announce to all our noodle friends: Noodle Party is launched on Kickstarter! 🎉
It's a really exciting time for us, because this period will greatly affect the development of the game. We can't be grateful enough for your kind words and support so far. 🥰 Now we humbly ask for your help, so we can fill Noddle Party with all the features we imagined and bring it to you as soon as possible. Please, help the noodles by spreading the word.
Check out the link below, where you can find all the information about us and what we're planning for the noodles, alongside with some new details about their life. 😉
Ohh, and I almost forgot ... 😄 🎵Toss a coin for your Noodle🎵
As promised, here we are with a development update! Quite a lot has happened since our last post.
Game update With most of the base systems ready, we turned our gaze to the last main thing missing. The Tower Challenge Mode will have mini-games between the rounds. These games will vary in style and task. In one such mini-game you will have to use your reflexes to get ahead of your opponents in another, you will have to use your wits.
These can turn the tide quite often, since not only will you be able to gain additional points but you can hoard special gems! These can grant you special abilities in your turn, for example, the next question you answer correctly will give you double points. Use them wisely!
Kickstarter We are hard at work on our Kickstarter campaign too. Most of the graphical elements are done and the sections are coming together nicely. The next big step is the video. We have drawn up several sketches and agreed on one to make it to the finals! We are really excited about the campaign, as it would help us a great deal in making the game better and speed up the development process by a great deal.
Regards, The Noodle team
Noodle Party soon on Kickstarter
What's up Noodles?
The team is working hard on Noodle Party regardless of the summer heat. We are happy to announce that all legal challenges have been sorted out and we are going on Kickstarter! Busy days are coming for the team as we start working on our campaign page alongside the game's development.
While we are really happy about how the game is coming along, because we are a tiny team, we have to work on a small budget. With the help of the community, we wish to make the game even better. We have many ideas and plans we will be sharing with you soon. We plan to give you regular updates here as well as on our social media platforms on how the development is progressing.
Our dream is to support Noodle Party in the years to come. We hope this dream can become a reality!
