Beta testing Twitch integration features

We're currently testing out Twitch integration features on the beta branch. It's an open beta and streamers are encouraged to give it a go!

To access the beta version of Zooika you just need to switch to the beta branch of the game. This community post has instructions on how to do that: Twitch beta branch testing

We have two different game modes for streamers to try:

Chat vs. Streamer

In this mode the streamer plays the game while chat can vote on 'events' to occur within the game, events include things like extra mice, buckets and watermelons! Along with a host of other effects (with more to come!). This is a fun and frantic mode that engages your chat to either help or hinder you (or usually both!)

Chat Plays

There is also a mode that allows Twitch chat to play the game with no input from the Streamer. This mode can be good as a 'be right back' screen for when a streamer needs to take a break.

Known issues / Bugs

• No testing has been done with a controller, so the UI probably doesn't work well with it yet (Twitch Plays features are disabled for Steam deck).

• The restarting of the game in Twitch Plays mode mostly works, but there are some oddities that still need to be fixed.

Plans

• More effects to vote for in the 'versus' mode.

• Incorporation of user profile images and maybe streamer emotes within the game.

• Leader boards for streamer games!

Feedback

We'd love to hear your feedback, what works well, what doesn't really work, etc. You can use this feedback form or reply in the community discussions
