All the team has been working really hard on this update. We’ve made lots of new missions, damaged a bunch of vehicles (and repaired them again!) and squashed many bugs along the way. We’re really excited for you all to play it!
Missions
There are lots of new missions to complete all over Wobbly Island! There are all sorts of tasks for you to do, lots of them with unique rewards. So get out there and help some Wobbly’s!
You can tell a Wobbly has a Mission for you if they have a Mission Star above their head.
Detective Missions
Detective Buck needs your help! All his other detectives are on holiday so put on your thinking cap and head to the police station to help him solve a series of strange cases.
This series of missions work slightly differently to other missions. Once you’ve completed one case you’ll need to wait untill the next day for Detective Buck to have another case for you.
We hope to add more cases for you to solve in the future.
To Do List
To help you keep track of all your missions we’ve added a To Do List to the map screen. Here you can toggle which missions show on the map, and find details about the missions you have and next task you need to complete.
We’ve also added To Do List entries for all the existing missions in the game too!
Vehicle Damage
Vehicles in Wobbly Life now can get damaged! If you keep crashing into things the body work will get bent, the windows will smash, and eventually if you keep crashing it, it will explode!
There’s also a new particle effect for crashes and a few new vehicles for you to crash in!
Vehicle Repair Shop
You’ve damaged your pizza van and you’ve got a delivery to make? Don’t worry, Joe’s Repairs is here to help! Simply drive your vehicle into the garage and Joe will repair it for free.
You can find Vehicle Repair Shops near to Vehicle Paint Shops.
Updated Handbrake
We’ve reworked the handbrake functionality so now you can pull off cool skids! But don’t use it too much or you might spin out. We’ve also updated the skidding graphical effect.
Updated Models
We’ve updated loads of models in this update. Almost all areas of the game have had some changes but especially make sure you check out the revamped arcade, mall and shops!
Contest Winners
Congratulations to the winners of the recent Costume Design Contest!. Their amazing designs are now available in this update.
To keep up to date with any future contests make sure to check out our discord.
Easy Grab
We’ve added a new system which helps the player grab objects. When you press the grab button the Wobbly’s arm will now automatically move towards grabbable objects that are near it. This should be especially useful for picking up objects on the ground.
Ultrawide Screen Support
You asked, we listened! Wobbly life now supports ultrawide resolutions so you can now go as wide as you want!
UI Improvements
Job Complete / Fail prompt
We’ve added on screen prompts when you fail or complete a mission.

The Vehicle Paint Shop has had a visual rework.

Endling - Extinction is Forever has been out there for a while now and your feedback and reviews have been overwhelming! Thank you all so much. Creating and selling games is a business first and foremost. This is no secret. Yes, we're in it because it is our passion, but we believe in calling a spade a spade. We're a company and companies need to turn a profit.
However, on a personal level, me, writing this, and every single one of my friends and colleagues at HandyGames, Herobeat Studios, and all our partners, get most excited about all the wonderful reactions from you, the players.
What drives us is people connecting with the game. These connections always happen on an emotional level. Be it the feeling of accomplishment for beating a difficult stage, good old fun times with friends, or in the case of Endling - Extinction is Forever, hopelessness and heartache towards the overwhelming odds that our fox family has to overcome.
For this, we want to say: Thank you! Thank you for laughing, crying, hoping, and despairing with us. It means more than you might imagine.
If you want to talk about your experience with this or any of our other games, please feel free to reach out. Steam reviews are always welcome, but you can also hop on our Discord or join our Inside HandyGames live show on Twitch or YouTube every other week to get to know us on a more personal level and ask us anything you'd like to know.
Until then, thank you for spending your valuable time with, and hard-earned money on our games!
In the fourth guide, let’s take a look at the research quest that allows you to acquire a new Descendant.
※ Please note that the guide is in line with the Steam Beta Test, and that some of the contents may be modified in the official service.
[Research Quest Guide Contents]
1. What is research quest?
2. Research Quest Method
1. What is research quest?
Research quest is a feature that allows you to acquire Descendants other than the initially selected Descendant. It can also craft the crystallization catalyst required to reset the Descendant’s level.
During the Steam Beta Test period, a total of 10 Descendants are available. Except for the initially selected Descendant, the other 9 Descendants can be acquired through the research quest.
<Descendants that can be acquired during the Steam Beta Test period>
Information about Descendants can be found in official website Game Info > Character, and it can also be viewed within the game from the Descendant (Shortcut: H).
For research quests, the necessary materials, research cost and time can be checked from “Xenia” of Albion.
<Xenia” of Albion Location>
2. Research Quest Method
Research quests can be proceeded from “Xenia” of Albion. A certain amount of gold is required for research materials and research quests, and each research quest takes a certain amount of time.
The material and gold required to acquire new Descendants can be obtained by eliminating monsters during missions, quest rewards, world missions, and Void Intercept Battles. Based on the obtained research material, you can craft main necessary material through research quests to proceed with the Descendant research quest.
<Carrying out research quest through “Xenia” of Albion allows you to see available research quest list, time, and cost. Also, clicking the quests allows you to check the required research material>
However, due to the limited time of the Steam Beta Test, there may be insufficient opportunities to experience various Descendants. So we plan to open the Event Shop during the Beta Test period to provide an opportunity for you to experience new Descendants.
Please refer to the TIP below for more details!
TIP) How to quickly and easily acquire Descendants during the Steam Beta Test!
During the Steam Beta Test period, you will be able to see the “Event Shop” by talking to “Xenia” of Albion.
You can purchase the research quest material of the desired Descendants with Caliber (Cash Currency) directly from the Event Shop.
Also, the Descendant research quest can be immediately completed through Boost Research with Caliber (Cash Currency).
<“Xenia” of Albion Event Shop>
<While in a research, the status of Research Institute turns into Researching. Click the research and proceed the Boost Research to immediately complete it by using Caliber>
After completing the research, the Descendant can only be acquire by clicking the screen, and the acquired Descendant will be available at the Descendant (Shortcut:H) menu.
< Descendant (Shortcut:H)>
The gold and Calibers required for research can be viewed from the Inventory (Shortcut: I).
<Inventory (Shortcut: I)>
Caliber (Cash Currency) can be obtained by completing the in-game event mission during the Beta Test.
On October 20th, The First Descendant Steam Beta Test opens! Complete the Steam Beta Test event missions and obtain Calibers (Cash Currency) to experience new Descendants through research quests!
Due to the fact that we began to receive a huge number of requests and suggestions that the price of the game is too high for some regions (and in general in principle).
That's why we changed the price of the early access game. It will be
$4.99
and will remain the same price after the full release.
Also we will not change the regional prices set by steam. I hope this way we can show that we care about our players.
We hope that the players who supported us by buying the game at the previous price will join us. All the money raised from the purchase will go towards improving the story and the speedy release of the game from early access.
If you previously had trouble downloading/installing the game, please try again now. Some texture files that were causing the issue have been removed.
If you are still having problems, try uninstalling and redownloading the game. If that does not help, please report in the discussions / "Cant download the game" thread.
Yo! I'm aiming to get rid of as many bugs as possible over the coming weeks :)
Bugfix
macOS build fixes
Fixed a bug that caused the (removed) map vote to sometimes pop up
The match timer will no longer run in the background
The camera will now face the player that eliminated you as intended
Fixed a bug that caused the Railgun to be lit up constantly
Polish to the 'Global Leaderboard' and 'Map Select' tabs of the main menu
Removed beta 'Drift' maps from the game. Still working on adding it back soon though :)
Fixed gamemode desync issues
Fixed the spoon weapon gaining 5-10 kills at once on occasion
Fixed version text around the game displaying the wrong version
Fixed the main menu join button being stuck on "connecting" when there were no players
Patched some connection issues
Balancing
Railgun
The railgun felt underpowered in comparison to the sniper, so I buffed its distinct features to give it some advantage
Launch back force from the rail gun increased 1,000 —> 2,000
Fire rate increased (10%)
Frenzy
The frenzy could outclass the AK in some situations and felt overpowered at times. So it was necessary to make it less accurate at further ranges.
Accuracy decreased (40%)
Minigun
The minigun has a strong foothold in taking out large groups of enemies, which is the intention; however a lot of you felt that it took too long to spin up
Decreased spin-up time (18%)
