Rotten Rampage is infection tag! Zombies are crawling out of graves, don’t get touched or you’ll join them. Be the last human standing to win!

Wreckage Wrangle is destruction derby! All players compete to destroy as much as possible of a sacred temple. The player with the most destruction wins!

Royal Rumble is reverse Explosive Exchange! One player holds a massive crown and gets points every second they're holding it. Steal the crown by walking into them. Most points = win! Imagine an entire lobby running after a single player!

🕹️ Minigame Changes
📋 Playlist Presets
Last week we added minigame playlists to the game, allowing players to customize the minigames that would show up in their private games. ⚙️
This week we've added the playlist presets dropdown, where you can select some pre-created playlists to enjoy with friends! 😳
For example, the "Dodgy" playlist consists of minigames where you're supposed to dodge something. 🧠
More presets to come! 🤩
☁️ Freefall Frenzy
Freefall Frenzy got its first update in months, with a new skyline being the first change since V0.9.6! 🌇
Very work-in-progress of course! 🏗️
We also changed its minigame thumbnail to be more purplish, to finally be able to distinguish it from Crumble Crisis! 👁️
🧊 Crumble Crisis
Crumble Crisis has been re-balanced, once again, to nerf cheesy boring strategies! The way we've rebalanced it right now should allow for the most varying amount of playstyles to be valid.
Last update we nerfed the heck out of jumping, by making it cause a huge crack in the ice. However, that change made normal, non-cheesy play too difficult, as this also requires some amount of jumping.
This update though, we've changed it so that the size of ice breakage caused by jumping is determined by how you land on the ice. If you keep your horizontal speed high, the crack will be less big. If you land completely still on an ice sheet, it will cause a bigger crack. This is actually physically realistic btw!! 🤓☝️
We also added some detection for whether the ice is connected or not when creating cracks, so jumps will no longer cause cracks on the other side of a chasm. 🧠
That said, the balancing is currently based on solo-play. Multiplayer balancing will be done live in today's dev play session, which you can join here, every two weeks!
