Welcome to the final hour of Jungleball! Anyone who wants to grab a copy should do it soon seeing as it won’t be available at retail until a while after backers receive their copies!
We’ll ask one last time for old times sake, do you have what it takes to be a Jungleball champion? 😁
will we be able to make it to a stretch goal in this final hour?!
It's the final countdown!

As we count down the final hours of this campaign and move on to the next phase, we just wanted to thank everyone who has backed so far, and if you’re still on the fence, come on over; we don’t bite! (Well, maybe Igor) We also wanted to make sure everyone knew about the giveaway we’re hosting on our Instagram right now! We’re giving away a couple of games (including a copy of Jungleball!) and stickers as well!
Finally, we wanted to do a quick survey to see how often you all would like to receive updates from us as production begins on the game!

The majority rule won’t be the end all be all we’re just trying to feel out what everyone feels most comfortable and excited about!
Thank you again! We wouldn’t be here without you!
We did it!

*Drum roll* we’re fully funded! It’s hard to find the words to express how grateful we are to all of you for helping us achieve this dream and get this game made! We think it’s an absolute blast, and we can’t wait for you all to be able to play it at home with friends and family!
Naturally, our sights are still on pulling off a stretch goal or two, and we can use all the help we can get spreading the word about the campaign, so please help us by sharing the campaign with your friends, family, and on social media. The more people back this campaign, the more stretch goals we can unlock, and the better Jungleball will be!
Orto Games couldn’t be here without all of you beautiful people.
One Week Left!

Hello everyone! We’re now about a week out from the end of the campaign, and we are about 8% away from our goal! I think we’ve thanked you in every one of our updates, but we just can’t help but express how appreciative we are that you’ve chosen to believe in this game and this team! All that being said, we thought it would be fun to do a little deep dive into the design process of one of our characters!
It all started with our playtesting card for Slippy with art by yours truly (Biagi); we have a few dozen versions of these early playtest cards with all sorts of different abilities hoping to find one that really strikes the perfect balance between fun gameplay and the kind of personality we want the character to have.
When we began the art phase, we made a document that had about a sentence or two about each character and their general vibe. This was Slippy’s: “Slippy (Salamander) The slipperiest crook in the whole animal kingdom, he switches teams and has no alliances to anyone.”
The wonderfully talented Alan Cortes took that single sentence and some brief conversations about the character and came back with a set of sketches that brought the character to life!
We then picked our favorite of the looks and poses from the sketches, and Alan moved on to the final phase of finishing up the final card art, which we’re excited to reveal right now!
If you like slippy, you should check out our other characters over on our Instagram page, and we cannot wait for you to be able to have this game in your hands! I look forward to bringing more cool and exciting news to you in the coming days!
