Yet another year passes while another begins.
This year's most notable addition to the game was the Seasonal game mode (previously know as "Dimensions"). This new feature added the ability for players to start an almost fresh new game on every new Season's start with unique game modifiers featured for each one, and to race to finish the listed tasks.Players seemed to like the new feature, so more development time was contributed towards it by making each Season more unique from the rest and by adding a dedicated Seasonal upgrade tree with the v7.1.0 update!This year Tap Ninja saw the addition of a feature that was in our faces since the game launched - you could now TAP your Ninja! Begone autoclickers, welcome the prolonged Energy bar with tapping as its generator.The game had a massive gamebreaking exploit added with one of the updates. While the majority of players didn't even notice any changes, a few unlucky of you had to have their save files rolled back by a little bit due to a bad messup on my part (my apologies about that once again!)
We contributed over $10'000 to Save the Children charity during the Tap Ninja's 4 year anniversary event!
We had the second art contest and found some talented artists amongst ourselves! Take a look at some of the best ones over here:
In-game leaderboards, or any online feature: The update that was promised so long ago. I can say that the leaderboards were experimented on prior to starting work on the Seasonal game, there were more issues than I was expecting so this update has been pushed once again even further into the future.Artefacts: This feature is still on the horizon and will likely be the main update scheduled for 2027 and will tie in with the main feature of whats to come in 2026A new Horseman enemy: The new main game enemy had to be pushed back once more and will be featured with the v8.0.0 update in 2026.Personal Dojo: Still on the horizon, and keep on reading.
The next major update for Tap Ninja will be v8.0.0 with the most notable addition to it being the Personal Dojo - trade your katana for a hammer and take a well deserved rest from the endless running in your own personal place. Clear out your long forgotten ancestral home of rubble and make a house a home.More information will follow, eventually, at some point in 2026.Have a nice and fulfilling 2026! The year of the horse!
