Discovering the impossible: Cryptid Content Update!

Goo Gladiators · published 1 Apr 2023, 20:05 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A new goo update is here!!! Tons of new stuff, 10 New goos in the new Cryptid DLC, Improved goopendium, new Icons, a lifetime goo pass, 8 new Icons, and a new DLC in free rotation!

New Cryptid Goos

We have added a new goo DLC! The cryptid goos! The cryptid goos have a new unique way to mutate and unlock. There is a new goo for each type of goo! Using the new item of the 'Magnifier' You will get the cryptid of the corresponding type.

So for example using it on a plant goo would give you the Swamp Monster.

Or using it on an Ice goo would give you a Baby Yeti.

Lots of fun new mechanics have been added with each of these goos having unique abilities that will allow for some really fun new strategies. I'm super excited to see what teams you guys come up with :)

Improved Goopendium


Many of you have been asking for improvements to the Goopendium, Ask and you shall rececive!

The Goopendium on the main menu will now show you all Goos (even ones in DLCS not active or owned) To get a better idea of all the goos that are in the game! As well you can now hover over each of the goos to see what their ability is and who they attack! This will allow you to plan out a goo mutation plan with more information.

As well we have now added an 'Items tab' to the goopenidum! This will show you all the items in the game and what round they will appear on.

Goo Lifetime pass and other things


As we are getting to a lot of DLC goos with the Cryptid DLC being our 4th pack, we wanted to make it easier for the 'hardcore' goo players to not have to keep worrying about getting the new DLCS. Getting the lifetime pass will get you all current and future DLCS (We want to have a ton more)

Here is a sneak peek at one of the goos in the Next update once spring has fully sprung :)

In the meantime we will start shifting the 'free rotation' DLC monthly. This month we will start with the Eggcellent DLC and then rotate through each of the DLCS from there. So May will be the Spooky DLC -> June will be the Chilly DLC and July will be the Cryptid DLC and so on :) As well you can now turn off the the Free DLC if you with to just play with the base goo pack.

We have also added 8 new Icons!!! Each DLC now has its own icon attached to it as well we have added a few other new icons to unlock and show some flair

Finial Thoughts


We have been hard at work on this update, and a ton of feature that didn't make it into this update yet. On top of that we still are working on a mobile version that should be coming very soon. Thank you guys for your continued support. Lots more fun Goo things planned for this year :) Let us know anything you would like to see in the game or any feedback for us in general. We would love to hear it.

Balance Updates


Minimal balance updates this update! Lots of the goos feel around where we wanted them, except for some of the Winter goos. They were a little too strong..

Goos


Golem: Type changed from Goo type to Ice type
Floaty: ATK 19 -> 15
Ice Golo: Speed 3 -> 2
Chiloki: ATK 2 -> 3
Chiloki: Speed 5 -> 4

Items
