- Easier 180 flip inputs - Restarting tutorial with 'R' now retries one part, not the entire tutorial - Tutorials are no longer labelled as 'Difficulty: Very Easy' - Better tutorial duration estimates - Fixed dialog where Fat Sensei referred to the obsolete "Cheat Settings" Our Turbo Fat experts noticed you can flip pieces by hitting both rotate buttons. But this was tricky because if you press…
Added workaround for post-puzzle crashing · Fixed bug where 150+ combos could cause funny stretched creatures · Creature editor no longer disables conflicting parts (beaks, etc) · Added more community monsters I thought of a simple change last night which should hopefully fix the last of these post-puzzle crashes. Fingers crossed! I also snuck in a few small fixes, including a bug which I didn'…

- Fixed more potential sources of crashing after puzzles. I usually try to space these updates out, but this one felt like an important one! I had a minor epiphany this weekend and tweaked the way I store some things in memory, which I'm hoping fixes the last of the crashes. Thanks so much for your patience! I've received some amazing feedback from the community Discord about potential quality-…

The wait is over, Turbo Fat is available on Steam! If you like tasty food, cute monsters and tough puzzles, this one's for you! 🍴🧠🍴 I've put a crazy amount of work into polishing all the rough edges, and I'm proud that after 4 years of working on the game I still had such a fun time playtesting it yesterday. I think I figured out one or two new strategies for a few levels, so I'll be curious…
We're cramming in as many features as we can before the release date! We've added 47 achievements , ranging from unique level challenges to broader completion tasks, ensuring you won't overlook any of Turbo Fat's sprawling content! With tons of levels to play, game modes to discover, cutscenes to watch, and achievements to unlock, there's plenty to keep you busy. We've also enhanced the level p…
We're polishing up Turbo Fat's UI, most notably the default grey buttons on the various menus and especially the creature editor. The creature editor shown in the trailer has undergone a 100% overhaul -- featuring bigcolorful icons with different creature parts, and an intuitive step-by-step layout which walks you through creating your creature one part at a time. There are other UI improvement…
It's been a busy few months! The game now officially has a beginning and ending , complete with cutscenes, credits and some cool surprises. I hope those of you lucky and dedicated enough enjoy what's store for the last legs of your journey! We've tested the Linux and Windows versions of Turbo Fat and everything seems to work on Steam OK! With that of the way, we've also started working Steam in…
We've added a new type of cheese piece for some later levels! These triangular pieces are powerful but come with their own limitations too, and will force you learn a whole new set of techniques. We've redesigned Career mode to only give you 3 lives -- if you lose all your lives you'll have to start over from the start of the chapter. Career mode's new hardcore levels give you a chance at an ex…
This month we've wrapped up development of the new "Cannoli Sandbar" area with a bunch of new levels centered around Asparagus, a puzzle mechanic designed to get in your way. These asparagus obstacles are incredibly versatile, obstructing the next queue, replacing high-scoring cake and snack boxes with useless veggies, and leaving obnoxious horizontal holes all over the playfield. They can even…
We've added a new tropical area "Kflab" with new characters, visuals and cutscenes. There's an entire new island area and 20 new cutscenes, featuring a cast of 5 new characters including a sarcastically self-aware panda bear "Pandon" who has some mild antisocial tendencies, and "King Frungle Lumps III" -- a green tentacle-mouthed monstrosity with a very silly name. And you'd better recite his e…
After two months exploring the new version of the Godot engine, it seems it's not quite ready for the awesome features required by Turbo Fat yet -- so we're sticking with the older version! However all is not lost, as we've ported a few of the coolest improvements and bugfixes from our exploratory work into the older version of the engine, including a few bugs reported by the Turbo Fat communit…
This release adds nine new levels featuring sharks. Many of them are in Poki Desert and a few are in the later levels as well. Sharks eat parts of your pieces, letting clever players reshape them to fit into tight gaps or make high scoring boxes in some new and clever ways! (CHOMP)
Nighttime levels! Oooh, spooky! Chapter 3 (Poki Desert) introduces three nighttime levels featuring the new "Night Onion". This onion periodically casts the playfield in darkness, testing both your memory and your strategy. You must balance fast and efficient play with organizing the playfield in an intuitive way. ...Vertical stacks are a lot harder to work with when you have to remember all th…
I'm still hard at work on Turbo Fat! In addition to adding the Steam page this month, I've added several cheats to make the game more accessible for novices, and improved the game's Spanish localization! Players accustomed to Tetris were often asking for line pieces and hold pieces . I think these go against the design of Turbo Fat, but I've enabled them through a Cheat menu. I'm all about play…
