All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Chefs!

This update is a minor update focused on the lobby Arcade area - we are launching the first 3 restorable Arcade machines!


Flappy: A classic Flappy-Bird clone where you play as a Brinagon grub (Pickle Dragon).

Stack: Build up the juicest burger you can in a limited amount of time - push your luck until the end, but make sure you cap it off with the top of the bun, or you lose everything!

Rope: Hop and skip your way to the high score in this Diabolical Double-Dutch-Donut minigame.

Each machine has its own Steam Leaderboard hooked up to it. Compete for high scores to win stuff over in our growing Discord! We plan on releasing some in-game rewards too, so stay tuned!


There are also other fixes, improvements, and features included in this update, such as::

  • New Fridge lootable (bigger than Oven, higher quality reward chances)

  • Weapon Gacha machine no longer takes you into a cutscene

  • Health now carries over from floor to floor as originally intended

  • Boss ground pound attacks now network properly

  • Boss health events now triggered by any player

  • Weapons now physically highlight when hovering them

  • Fixed bug with the target selection on enemies when a downed player is in the room

  • Fixes in the weapon system where you could get softlocked from shooting in rare cases

  • Various level collision fixes

  • Health UI now shows rounded up instead of truncated values

  • Acid pool material

  • Shopkeeper dialogue fixes

  • Friend UI updates

  • Improved interaction messaging

See you in the next update!

-- William, Lead Developer
