I loved your game so much I made a mega expansion that basically doubles the game. Double the items, double the Keeplings, added a dungeon, and double the fun! I would love to share it with you and see if we can join forces and breathe new life into the game. Please email me if you are interested. thearchitect44@gmail.com
Hello! So I have a 2 questions on 2 Keeyplings abilities,
1. Maxwell, does Maxwell like, make the opposing character HAVE to attack Max or is it totally different?
2. Hat-Nip, I’ve read through the comments and apparently Hat-Nip gets to swap 2 two tiles but I don’t get the full picture, does Hat-Nip get to like swap ANY tiles?
I’m sorry to add this note but please make it easy for me to understand 🤣
My son got me this game (and print & cut all the pieces, in a card box he drew title art on!) for my birthday.
One thing we’ve discovered is that it’s unclear if Items are ever used up. There’s no rule about it either way, so we assume none of them have to be discarded, but just wanted to be clear.
Two is that Sheildon getting the Shiny Shield seems to break the game a bit: we were playing a four player game (with lots of items on the table and folks with various characters in play) and he just couldn’t be stopped. Especially because he had items of his own for flexibility.
If that’s just part of the play then that’s cool, but wanted to be sure!
I wanted to purchase your fun game, but I encountered a problem. I have a 17-digit card number, while your system only accepts 16 digits. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue so that I can proceed with buying your game and enjoy playing it.
Me and my friends live far from each other, so we didn't get to enjoy the beauty of this game, so I would like to make a digital version of this game where you will post it on whatever platform you desire and at whatever cost you desire, but I recommend choosing epic or steam at the price of 15$ and reducing the print version to 5-10$.
I consider this a better future for the game as in the digital version expansions and changes get added easier, any engine could work, but I think that a lightweight easy to run engine like unity could work the best, but to make any money you need a paid version.
On the other side, an engine like unreal engine allows you to make money without need of a paid version.
The graphics won't be something flashy, as I think that a cleaner childlike art style will be perfect for the gameplay, for the dungeon making part of the game I am thinking of 2 ways of doing it:
Making it as some 2d cards placed on the table(like monopoly),
Making it as a 3d dungeon where every card you place will extend the dungeon
This game should have a in-game chat, but voice chat will be bad because I wouldn't want to listen to Little Timmy scream racial slurs when I kill him.
The main menu should have the options for server creating, server joining, the official discord, patreon, workshop for custom cards and expansions made by the community, options and an exit button.
In the server creator menu you can chose to make a game public or private via a password and there you can add all the expansions and rules you want. For custom expansions, only the server creator should own them as in real life.
In the server join menu there will be a server list with a search button and a tab where you can see what servers your friends are in.
The discord button will send you to the official discord and same for the patreon button.
In the workshop menu you get send to the steam workshop for the game where people will download fan-made expansions, paid or free, because a part of the cash will get to you anyway.
Options should include sound, graphics, fullscreen or window.
Exit button is self explanatory.
I hope you will read this message and find it as a good idea.
Hi, I am from India and trying to but this print and play edition however I have tried different cards and all of them got declined. I have checked my international transactions with my bank and all are good to go but I am still unable to make a purchase. Can you please help me with this?
With a printer of course! Or you can find a professional printing service. You can ask others in our Discord server: https://discord.gg/BhVRust Check out #TheKeeyp text channel
Attacking happens after the key is found. When someone lands on a space that is already occupied by someone else they enter into battle. This is when you would use ATK if attacking and DEF if defending. We like to hide all our items and flip at the same time, that way no one knows who is using what. It is up to whoever is playing as long as everyone does the same thing. Some people play that the attacking player has to show the weapon first.
Hello ! You're game is so cool and unique ! It have alot of potential. I bet the expansions that you mentioned in your videos will be as such.
But I'm French and some cards explanations aren't that clear on how you can uses them.
Here are the ones I got problems with:
1) What does Blue Jazz power do ? (It's to hard for me to translate / understand)
2) What does Hat-Nip power do ? (It's to hard for me to translate / understand)
3) Does Shieldon use the "DEF" points of shields items as "ATK" points ?
4) What are all the situations where I can use a "Not an apple" ? Can I use it :
at the start of my turn,
after I mooved my keepling some tiles,
at the end of my turn,
at the start of a fight,
at the end of a fight ...
5) At the start of a fight, who can use an item first ? The attackant or the deffender ? I think that the attackant must choose first and then the player that is defending. Is it like that ?
Thank you in advance for answering my numerous questions ! :)
1) Blue Jazz attacks from a distance. He does not have to be on the same space as someone to attack them. And the further away he is the higher his ATK is.
2) Hat-Nip can move two of the tiles by swapping their position with one another. But it cannot break the dungeon into two sections. So the two tiles have to be on the outer edge of the map.
3) Yes
4) you can only use food items at the start of your turn
5) it is truly up to whoever is playing as long as everyone does the same thing. We like to hide all our items and flip at the same time, that way no one knows who is using what.
Hey, does passing a chest count as landing on it? For example, if a chest is right in front of me and I move two spaces instead of one meaning my player is behind the chest, I passed by the chest while going behind it. Does that mean I can draw an item? Also, can you draw an item from the same chest twice? Like, you get an item from a chest, move on to somewhere else, and then a few turns later you go back, does that mean you get to draw another item? And if a player gets an item from a chest, can other players also get an item from that same chest? I'd like to know everything about how chest and obtaining items works, because it seems strange that there are so many items and that there is an item maximum that you can hold and that it says in the rulebook what to do if the item pile runs out, and there only being a few chest tiles that you can print.
Does passing spike/slime count as landing on the spike/slime or is it just like if you end your turn on a spike or slime, on your next turn you roll the die?
And does the blue jazz's ranged attack ignore defense or not
Does blue jazz's ability add onto it's current attack? Blue jazz has 1 atk, if someone is 5 tiles away from you and you shoot, do you deal 6 damage because 5 + 1 is 6?
Does Big Look's ability only activate when it moves onto an empty space or does it activate whenever, and does it get to put the tile card it gets on any empty space it wants?
Can you get a key from a chest?
Does Klepto-mari's turn end when it uses its steal ability or can it still use its speed to get away?
Can Slip Kid use its ability at any time or only at the start of its turn? Can it walk and THEN use its ability?
Can you use an ability and item on the same turn and if so, in what order?
Are surprise tiles only found once per game or do they go back into the tile pile after used
What does the Switch item do? Does it let you turn into another keeypling, and if so, does it restore your health to 6? Or does it swap your position with another player? Do you become another player and if so, does it turn your health to the player you swap into?
For your question about chests: you have to land on a chest tile to pick an item. Meaning you stop moving to get an item and cannot use any remaining SPD that turn. Chests can be used as many times as you like. And for the items once they run out it is up to you whether you shuffle and reuse or choose to run out of items.
Spikes/slime: every time you leave one of these tiles you roll. Whether you start your turn in one or are just passing through.
Blue jazz does not ignore DEF stat. And yes I’m that example he would have 6 ATK.
Big look’s ability activated when you are drawing a new tile. You can choose to draw three instead on one and pick your favorite to put in that space.
The key can only be attained from the key tile or by beating someone in combat.
Klepto can still use speed with his ability. (He is my favorite character)
Slip kid’s ability is his SPD for that turn. So you can either use your SPD or slide in a straight line.
For an item and ability at the same time: Depends on the Keeypling. Some abilities are used during combat or when drawing cards. But in general if the rules don’t say you can’t do it, then go for it! Makes it interesting.
Surprise tiles are only meant to be found once, but you can always shuffle them back in for more surprises if you like.
The switch item is treated the same as if you were swapping Keeyplings on the start tile. You keep the HP you currently have. And you would just be swapping between the two Keeyplings you have.
Hope this helps, I’m not usually on itch that much, but when I saw these questions I thought I’d respond.
Hola el juego es de un creador llamado Godgis si quieres ir a apoyarlo ve a su canal de Youtube es de habla inglesa y ahí aclara varias cosas del juego
Hi! I've recently just discovered this game. I really like the mechanics of the game. tile-laying games are one of my favorites--never the same game twice. Just wanna ask what app or program you use in designing/creating the art for The Keeyps? I'd really like to try it out. Your designs are so pleasing to the eyes and I was wondering if I could do that kind of art too. Thanks! And more power to you guys! :D
Love the game concept. I want to know I am buying print and play version and i from india. So I am paying INR to USD so how much tax i want to pay for this.

Please make this game available again. My kids would love this!
Hi there. Do you mean the box edition?
Is the game available in other languages? I would like to translate it to Portuguese. Can we talk?
We'll look into supporting more languages for the next edition.
Do the colors for the meeples matter? I have 4 different colors of meeples I think would work
As long as the meeples can be distinguished from one another, it doesn't matter.
ok thanks also for blue jazz does that engage combat or just harm?
Hey Firith Studio! @Goodgis @JankyBread @KiwiBee @Bonzo @Crepe

sounds cool
could you just print the front on cardstock and then flip it over and print the back?
Seems doable. See if the Keeyp community has done so over on Discord

Please ask us on Discord
I'm pretty sure you discard your items after you use it
I actually made a version for tabletop simulator if anyone is intreste
i am
I am very intreste
Well, you've certainly made me interested. Too bad I don't have it though
why can't you make it in tabletop simulator yourself?
Why won't Tabletop Simulator create official DLC?
well you are an entire team you can make a tabletop simulator game you could maybe even turn it into its own game
Hello,
I wanted to purchase your fun game, but I encountered a problem. I have a 17-digit card number, while your system only accepts 16 digits. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue so that I can proceed with buying your game and enjoy playing it.
Thank you, Mcsus

Hello!
Me and my friends live far from each other, so we didn't get to enjoy the beauty of this game, so I would like to make a digital version of this game where you will post it on whatever platform you desire and at whatever cost you desire, but I recommend choosing epic or steam at the price of 15$ and reducing the print version to 5-10$.

did the price go up?
That will be 1 million rupees, sir 🫰
The answer is no
ok
I just love your content at Firith Studio. I also have a game challenge for Goodgis: Add an outer space section with evil stars to Dewdrop Dynasty.
Amazing idea
Is it by any chance possible for me to collaborate with Goodgis on Scratch?
Goodgis is really busy, but you can reach out to him through email: goodgis@firith.studio
I'm a kid though and can't use that
you dont have email lol
So is there another way perhaps?
Is it possible to buy the board game version of this and if so where?
If you can find a used copy, then yes. Otherwise, not until we get a publisher
where are the used copys
"¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
thanks
Why expensive? the printer is already expensive
Wait for a sale
Contact Goodgis or JankyBread
can you make it cheaper
Be on the lookout for Firith sales
Wo kann man das Spiel kaufen?
Should I print on paper or cardstock?
I have a question about the rules, can you move after attacking some one if you still have more speed.
Speed only indicates how far you can move in a single turn.
What software did you use to make the art for the Keeyp
We used Adobe Illustrator, but you could use other vector software like Affinity Designer (cheaper) or Inkscape (free)
Thank you.
Hello again....
I made a free sketch of a new character to make an update for TheKeeyp's expansion "Garden Games"
I would like to be part of the keeyp team :3 and work with us.
Cool!
Hey I'm wonder what art software you use to make this art.
Illustrator
Thank you
Where can I contact to the owner of the art of the game?
To negotiate copyright permissions for art use, because I have a project and I liked this design.
btw: I Love this game so much!!!
The artist for The Keeyp also were the creators. Unfortunately, none of The Keeyp artwork and assets copyrights are available for sale.
Oh, okey...
Thank you so much for the answer :3
Is it possible to pay somehow with for example a Google play card?
We're not aware of any way to pay with a Google play card.
Why 7 dice?
1 to roll them all
6 for the Keeypling kings
But in all seriousness, you need 1 for rolling and 1 dice for each player.
Hi, I am from India and trying to but this print and play edition however I have tried different cards and all of them got declined. I have checked my international transactions with my bank and all are good to go but I am still unable to make a purchase. Can you please help me with this?

how do I print it out?
With a printer of course! Or you can find a professional printing service.
You can ask others in our Discord server: https://discord.gg/BhVRust
Check out #TheKeeyp text channel
What font does "Keeyp" in the title use
he made his own he is a graphic designer
Does this pdf include the expansion?
We're planning on releasing some expansions later this year.
When and how do you play the ATK and DEF cards? I wasn't able to find that in the instructions.
Hi,
Attacking happens after the key is found. When someone lands on a space that is already occupied by someone else they enter into battle.

can u add stuff like tuff toof or sheldon or the garden games expansion pack?
Yeah, definitely! We haven't gotten around to it yet, but don't worry!
Thank you very much!
For Hat-Nip what does outside tiles mean?
A tile that isn’t surrounded. On the outside of the map.

Rule Questions
1. It's 1 round of combat so they both get a turn to fight.
2. You only place a tile if you move off into an empty space.
3. Key goes to the winner.
thanks so much the we were placing a tile every time and it seems like it was moving way to fast 🤣
Hello! I own the physical version, and i just need a template for making custom cards. could you supply a template please?
Love the game concept. I want to know I am buying print and play version and i from india. So I am paying INR to USD so how much tax i want to pay for this.
The game is extremely affordable. Especially now that it's on sale.
Thank you so very much ❤️
How long is the sale on for
Hey Jesse! For a couple more days.
