Fizzles – Level 8 released: Community test now available for iOS, Android and Windows
Level 8 of Fizzles is finished and is now part of the current community test version.
This level introduces the Basher, allowing Fizzles to dig horizontal tunnels through designated terrain. It also introduces portals as a new gameplay element.
A major milestone for the project is that the community test is now available on iOS for the first time.
Fizzles can now be tested on all three currently supported platforms:
iOS – TestFlight
https://testflight.apple.com/join/c1cn5N2P
Android – Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hpwsoft.fizzles
Windows – Microsoft Store
https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9MTHJHBK5NPK
All three store versions are still community test versions.
For me, one of the most interesting parts of testing Fizzles is not only finding bugs, but also discovering whether players find solutions I did not originally anticipate.
Some alternative solutions are perfectly fine and can make a level more interesting. Others may reveal that a mechanic can be bypassed too easily or that a level can be broken in an unintended way.
So if you find an unusual solution, please let me know. :)
Test keyboard shortcuts
The following shortcuts are available for testing:

• 1 – Load Level 1 directly
• 2 – Load Level 2 directly
• 3 – Load Level 3 directly
• 4 – Load Level 4 directly
• 5 – Load Level 5 directly
• 6 – Load Level 6 directly
• 7 – Load Level 7 directly
• 8 – Load Level 8 directly
• R – Restart the current level
• Esc – Quit the game

On phones and tablets, these shortcuts can also be used with an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard.
The browser version will remain available separately as the stable demo containing Levels 1–5.
Development is already continuing as well. Level 9 is well underway.
Any feedback on level design, balancing, alternative solutions or general usability is very welcome.
