About this game
ABOUT THIS GAME
Is this a Game yet? (ItaGy) is an open invitation: you and me, building a game live, one update at a time. In the beginning there was exactly one button and a global leaderboard. No tutorials, no roadmaps. Every click, every idea, every vote shaped what the game is now and what it will be in the future.
THE JOURNEY SO FAR
After the initial button in Cycle 0, the game changed to a twin button system with challenges, decoys and cursor upgrades in Cycle 1.
Cycle 2 added a new rhythm challenge, dark mode and hub world overhaul while Cycle 3 completely changed the core gameplay to WASD controls, aquatic-themed graphics, a new swarm challenge and a multi-stage boss fight against MEGANOM.
What will Cycle 4 bring to the game?
HOW IT WORKS
Blank Canvas Start
One button, one counter, zero instructions. Your clicks fill an empty leaderboard.
Player-Driven Updates
At the end of each cycle, the top 3 global scorers and top 2 most liked submissions will be chosen and implemented in the very next update cycle.
Live Co-Development
All development happens live on stream. Jump into chat, suggest features on the fly, watch your ideas take shape in real time.
Endless Possibilities
Today it’s a clicker, tomorrow a platformer, puzzle, RPG, or something entirely new.
WHY JUMP IN NOW?
No paid Expansions. Purchase early and enjoy all future updates forever.
You’re not just playing, you’re designing.
Real-time feedback via development live streams.
Frequent update cycles mean the game never feels the same twice.
Join a tight-knit community where every vote matters.

Development Cycle Update
I am sad to announce that I was not able to secure enough funding to keep working on this project full time. However, I will still continue development and live stream the entire process, but the update cycle will slow down significantly.This means that future updates will be released as soon as they are ready without fixed release dates and the time to play and submit ideas during the open leaderboard period will be increased to 2 weeks from the time each update hits.I'm really sorry I was not able to live up to expectations so far, but I still strongly believe in this project and hope that you will continue tagging along with me on this experimental journey.See you soon!Cheers,KohariRead full article on Community Announcements (Little Needle Interactive)AnnouncementsOfficial

Early Access Cycle 3 Winners
Thank you all for playing the biggest Update so far with the gameplay redefining Cycle 3 and for joining the fight against Meganom to get on top of this iteration's Leaderboard, which is now closed. Here are the winners and what they want to see in Cycle 4.Even though I'm on top of the leaderboard again this time, I decided to opt-out and have Yeladia take third place.While the core gameplay will remain unchanged this time, the submissions definitely will shake things up. Refining the challenge system to affect the game in different ways and getting additional mini games and power-ups will definitely make the next update very exciting. Especially with new Meganom animations and special final battle phase!As usual, implementation on Cycle 4 starts on today's live stream, so I'll see you there or on the next leaderboard!Cheers,KohariRead full article on Community Announcements (Little Needle Interactive)Patch NotesOfficial
Mid-Cycle Update Patch 0.4.1.0
This update moves Cycle 3 into the Hub World Arcade and includes a bunch of small and big fixes, balance and other improvements.

This change should only be noticable when the game is paused during a run. - Pausing the game now properly delays boss phases. - Meganom can no longer be damaged through regular combo hits during final phase stagger, which caused him to give double points when defeated in that way - Player character and bubbles no longer move or interact with each other while hidden during rhythm game - Bubbles no longer detach when hit immediately after triggering Meganom's final phase stagger - Piranhas spawn further away from the player and are less likely to appear out of nowhere - Combo timer now starts after bubbles have finished moving to fix inconsistent combo break behavior - Declining or accepting challenges with mouse input no longer triggers a dash - Hitflash no longer persists into next game - Piranha debuff no longer persists into hub world - Fixed some inconsistencies regarding game object positioning in unusual resolutions (WIP) - Shells are no longer hidden in the Hub World Shop and Arcade - Past cycles in the arcade now properly use p...Read full article on Community Announcements (Little Needle Interactive)
