Greetings, Apprentice!
You've made a real mess - time to clean it up?
Tidy Up the Town is AVAILABLE NOW!
[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/5190030/Tidy_Up_the_Town/"]The game costs $4.99 (or regional equivalents) at launch, with the two week launch discount - so pick it up before that ends to get the best price!
Tidy Up the Town plays excellently on Steam Deck and I'm expecting a Verified status very soon after launch (just waiting on Steam now).
Leaderboards
Tidy Up the Town launches with support for in-game and web-based leaderboards!
Leaderboards are ordered on steps taken, so the fewer steps you take to tidy up, the higher you'll place! If there's a tie, time taken is used as well.
There are three categories at launch - Market, Full, and No Magic.
Market - Only the nine market stalls. No secret stall needed.
Full - All ten stalls, including the secret stall.
No Magic - Only players who never use a spell or purchase a magical upgrade will enter this leaderboard! There's a Steam achievement for doing this, as well.
Everything is integrated with Steam, so you can see your Steam Friends positions in the rankings compared to yours too!
If you prefer, you can opt out of leaderboards at any time.
You can check out the leaderboards online here.
A small request, if I may? Review the game!
Steam games live and die by their early reviews!
Could I ask you to take just a few moments, once you've played for a bit, to leave a positive review if you're having a good time?
Leaving a positive review is the BIGGEST impact you can have on a game's success, and it would mean a lot to me if you'd help me out with that.
Thank you so much for your help! 💖
🎃 Next Week: Samhainn Seasonal Event 👻
Oh, one more thing... The mood in the market square is getting spooky!
One week after launch, October 23rd, the first Seasonal Event for Tidy Up the Town arrives - Samhainn!
Samhainn (pronounced sow-in) is the traditional Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season, and the denizens of the Town will be decorating the market square in traditional fashion to celebrate!
There will also be a new visitor to the market - Old Morwen and her Curiosities Stall!
Why does Old Morwen look so... young? Are those skulls she sells real?...
Find out next week during the Samhainn event, which will run from October 23 to November 16th!
Worry not, you'll be able to access it again at any time you want going forward, or turn it off if you prefer the regular market.
As part of Samhainn, there'll also be a new leaderboard to enter and dominate! How will your run change with a new stall and new goods to shelve?...

We're 2,500 members strong and have a wonderful community to discuss the game or get support with! We'd love to have you there.
Finally, if you enjoy Tidy Up the Town, you might like to check out my first indie game - AETHUS!
[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2541530/AETHUS/"]It's a fully voice-acted, story-driven survival-crafting game, where there's always a proper narrative reason to explore, build, craft and dig a little deeper!
I spent three years pouring my soul into it, and it's got 94% positive reviews! Maybe you'll like it too?
It's 30% off right now, and even has a free demo that you can try - the progress even carries across to the full game!
Thanks again for all your support. You make this indie dream possible.
Speak soon,
Alex & Apollo (he's the Chief Treats Officer of Pawsmonaut)
