Hello sponges!
We've rolled out another update for the Sponge Break playtest with even more fixes and improvements based on everything you've been sharing with us.
As a reminder, we’re running a playtest through July 28 and we’re down to just a few slots left! So take the plunge now at spongebreak.com and try the game early. You can also join the Sponge Break Discord now right here and meet up with your fellow sponges: discord.gg/spongebreak
Here is a breakdown of what’s changed.
Performance & Stability: Major network optimizations, improved frame rates, and multiple crash fixes.
Better Multiplayer: Improved proximity voice chat, cleaner DBNO behavior, and a variety of multiplayer synchronization fixes.
Controller Support: Continued improvements for controllers and Steam Deck. Steam Input is still recommended while we continue refining support.
Gameplay Fixes: Rat behavior improvements, inflatable duck fixes, wet sponge size fixes, level polish, and plenty of general gameplay improvements.
Polish: Audio improvements, environment updates, asset replacements, and lots of quality-of-life tweaks.
⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER: This is still an active playtest. While we do not plan on doing any progression or save data wipes, there is always a small chance that future updates might affect save data. We appreciate your understanding and patience if any unexpected issues pop up!
