Hi everyone,

Just in time for Christmas, a new hero and endless mode. Some of you have played the game ALOT. I didn't expect that, so I decided to implement the endless mode earlier than planned, so you can get even more challenges.

But first, here's a new hero:


Blind and can't fight. Improves your animal skills and can summon powerful animals.

This is a support class, but he can be trained to do psychological attacks on animal enemies to slow them down, or charm them.




You can keep your party and fight new challenges in a never ending fight fest. When you beat the final boss, there will be a button in the lower right corner. When you click on it, the world is repopulated with new monsters and treasure. Every 10 days, a powerful boss will chase you down. Try to survive as long as possible!

12.18 core play test

This is a Hotfix Release, containing critical fixes and some updates for the 2025 Season 1 Release.

OI, SPEED FREEKS!

We're just dropped a hotfix for various things below, including some stuff for Alternate Weapons which will be playable again this weekend. Be sure to jump in for some new kinds of krumpin'!

• Fixed issue with player progression needing a client restart to be shown properly in the menu
  
• Fixed issue with Steam Deck / Linux players no longer being able to play because of Easy Anti-Cheat being a right git. If you still get kicked to the menu and see an error pop up, just matchmake again and things should work fine after that.
  
• Reverted change to status bar text on HUD using red outline which apparently made some players' eyes bleed
  
• Fixed issue with Kustom Boosta-Blasta and Megatrakk Scrapjet getting speed loss
  
• Fixed bots using alt weapons that weren't synced properly.
  
• Fixed performance issue with the kill kam where it was tanking framerate when loading
  
• Fixed/updated game mode text for Deff Rally to reflect racing changes made in last patch
  
• Reduced size of central game mode HUD element to reduce clutter. More room ta see da krumpin'!
  
• Updated Looted Wagon crosshair so it reflects cooldown of the Kannon. This is a test to see how players like it (you will). If they do, we'll apply the same system to other vehicles
  
• Grot bomm now has a big flare on it so it's easier to see coming and increased sound distance. Reduced it's max duration from 13 sec to 10, which also fixed a bug with VFX disappearing
  
• Kustom Boosta-Blasta alternate weapon fire rate set to 0.6 (from 1.2), damage set to 33 (from 22), splash radius set to 12 (from 10). This weapon will be playable this coming weekend!
  
• Updated popup message text when getting kicked to the menu because of Easy Anti-Cheat issues
  
• Made the Grot Mega Tank rokkit knockback consistently pop enemies up instead of randomly spin them out
  
• Returns Shokkjump Dragsta lock on crosshair

Happy holidays!

This month, we have prepared a special event for you. It's still Match3, but in a completely different style. You’ll need not only wits but also quick reflexes. Just like in classic Chronobabes, you’ll have 4 skills here. Charge them up and try to survive as long as possible.

Want a full-fledged game in this genre? If so, let us know in the comments and leave a positive review – it will give us extra motivation.

Merry Christmas, Chronomen! May time be with you!

We’ve gathered some statistics from the demo version of the game and are excited to share the results!

The demo version has been launched by over 3,000 players! Around 1,000 players allowed us to collect analytics. Thank you! This data and your feedback have been the foundation for improvements.

Here’s how your encounters with the bosses went:

• Drone: defeated 315 times, while players died to it 3,268 times.
  
• Needleback: defeated 96 times, players died 862 times.
  
• Rider: defeated 40 times, players died 180 times.

We strive to make each boss a unique gameplay experience and are actively working on balancing them to make the battles even more engaging. In the main game, we plan to expand their backstories and add more details to their narratives.

• Area before Drone: 48 deaths.
  
• Secret Platforming: 135 deaths.
  
• Pastures: 117 deaths.

Over 1,000 times the secret room was discovered!
However, 2,081 times upgrades were not used against the Drone.

Reminder: Upgrades are available via the radial menu, accessed by pressing the “menu” button. Use it to make progression easier!

As expected, most players opted for Normal difficulty, but some brave ones tried their hand at Hard:

• Normal difficulty: 70% of players.
  
• Easy difficulty: 20% of players.
  
• Hard difficulty: 10% of players.

Last week, we released a small patch that lowered the difficulty and health of bosses on Easy and Normal difficulties. We also made several fixes to mechanics and the interface.

If you haven’t tried different difficulty levels yet – now’s the time! Difficulty affects not just the numbers, but also platforming, level design, and the bosses’ movesets.

Thank you to everyone who played the demo, shared feedback, and helped us improve the game!
We continue working on the game’s core content, balance, and UX to make it even better.

Stay tuned for more news!
