Last call for Pledge Manager!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, May 26, 2023 at 09:53:06 AM
Hello friends,
We just sent all the print files to the factory and are starting production ASAP. However, we need the final quantities and some of you have not yet finished their Pledge Manager surveys. This is your last call to do that until June 4, 2023. Those who have not filled out the surveys should have received an email from our team or Backerkit. Please fill them out!
On other news, we will be receiving a full production sample in a couple of weeks, so we will have a bigger update then.
Happy flicking!

Hello friends,
Just like we mentioned in the previous update, we are re-opening the PM for late late pledges (promise, there won't be late late late pledges or the re-re-opening of the PM). PM will be open until 16th of April. Here is your chance to add something you or someone you know wanted but did not manage to add.
Happy flicking!

Molds, rulebook and pledge manager!
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Apr 03, 2023 at 02:08:55 AM
Hello friends,
Molds.
Work on the new molds carries on and we have received samples of what the miniatures will look like. They look great, only that they will be 1-2mm shorter than we initially stated on the KS page (26-27mm instead of 28mm). That's because the plastic is heavier than we thought therefore bigger miniatures are lazy and don't want to get up. Rest assured, the new size works well - they flick around, they jump around, they fly around ;)
Rulebook.
Thanks to everyone who showed interestest in reading through the rulebook and everyone who commented that they should be available to all backers. The rulebook is in its pre-proofreading stage and not all the visuals are up to date. Our designer is working on them as you read this.
Here is the link - all comments are welcome, but keep in mind we will have to evaluate whether we can implement everything that you suggest.
Pledge manager.
Some people have reached out to us and asked to access the pledge manager. That's why we will be re-opening it from 7th - 16th April (2023) so everyone who wants to add something will have a chance to do that and if you know anyone who would like to jump into this project, let them know.
After that, we will permanently close the pledge manager and place final amounts to the factory.
We estimate that we will charge for shipping an VAT/taxes at the end of May / beginning of June.
Happy flicking!

Update on production progress!
almost 2 years ago
– Fri, Feb 24, 2023 at 03:25:59 AM
Hello friends,
In short, there are delays. And we really apologize for this. In this update we will explain what has caused delays and why.
Let's start with the biggest delay - miniatures. Good news - molds are done! Bad news - we need to make new ones. We created the current mold for a soft PVC material for the miniature top parts. The reason for this is because we thought they would feel much better whilst flicking. When we received pre-production samples, everything was great. But when we received and tested the molded samples, we discovered a big issue - the miniatures, when flicked, would cause too much friction (would not slide on the game board). What this means is that when you would flick them, they would just chaotically bounce around.
Good news is we are on top of this and creation of the new mold is in process, but this means that the estimate shipping will be pushed at least a couple of months more (so ~November 2023) :(
Molds for the Launcher, D16 dice, Loot box, Bombshell and Objective markers are done and they all work really well. Molds for the risers will be done by the end of March and here's the final visualization based on your comments in the previous update. We changed the bottom clip which is now transparent.
We are also working on the rulebook and the latest draft should be ready in the coming weeks. If you are interested in reading it and giving your feedback, drop Janis a line at [email protected].
Some of you asked when we will be charging for shipping. Right now the estimate is June 2023.
And again, we apologize for these delays and really appreciate your patience. Rest assured, we are doing everything as quick as possible to get this game in your hands.
Happy flicking!

Hello friends!
First of all, thanks for all the comments on the new risers. We read all of them and will try to do the best we can to make them look as good as possible.
Second of all, there was a delay on receiving proper shot samples and the launcher, but those should be with us first half of January. Hopefully sooner.
And lastly we should be finishing the rulebook during January, and we will post it so you can take a look.
Last but not least, HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!
Take care and see you in January.
