general: - massive map refactor that touched a lot of stuff - the map is now made up of 4 layers: backgrounds, solids (includes oneways), gravity, top (stars, spikes, etc) - when erasing blocks, you stick to the layer that you first clicked on. this means you can now easily erase backgrounds behind gravity, etc - colored spikeballs - map edit networking optimization shift: - level format change…

Two days from this post, Thursday 2026/07/30, at 7:00EST/4:00PST, we will be having a playtest where all are welcome to join in on the fun. We will be meeting in the FREE EDIT lobby at start time and move between SHIFT and SNAKE.

localization: muppled now has localization support! still only english, but translating muppled is now possible physics: acceleration is only granted for the portion of the frame where you are airborne. this is a very small change but will still result in physics desyncs with some old replays. it is not nearly big enough of a change to warrant a leaderboard reset though also, the star hitbox is…
shift: overall leaderboards got a big facelift you can look at them with the podium outside the house the podium shows the current top 3 players as their most recently used character (character updates with a pb) clicking on a player in the leaderboard lets you see where they got their points from free edit: map should now be persistent through server restarts bugfixes: keybinds: no longer rese…

shift: · added a new tab in the shift level browser with a points leaderboard, where placing high in leaderboards with lots of competition gives you points boss: · we're letting boss take a nap. its hard for us to justify spending server space and dev time on a gamemode that only really works with like at least 15 people. its going on the backburner for now, giving us more space to focus on our…

most work this week was related to setting up the demo for itch, but some other stuff got done too engine: · updating Godot from 4.6.3 -> 4.7 physics: · you now have 1 frame of coyote time when running off of an edge. this also fixes an issue when trying to jump off a corner you just landed on, which should now work as expected. · you can move and jump using a controller now, if you want map: ·…
spikepuzzle: · this is a big update for spikepuzzle! · submitting a score to spikepuzzle also submits your exact solution and a replay of how you did it · a leaderboard shows the top 5 cheapest and top 5 fastest solutions · the budget leaderboard uses submission time as the tiebreaker; checkpoint and death stats are just for fun · the time leaderboard first sorts by spike removes, then by time,…
