Original postIn today’s update, we’ve added passive skills that heroes can unlock in Adventure Mode. They’re obtained in the same way as regular skills, through reward events.
We’ve also updated the camp structures. Instead of the old tent, the map, backpack, and totem are now used to start new adventures, while the Yurt that opens the Compendium has received improved visuals and new animations.
Finally, we’ve made some balance changes, mainly adjusting unit values, which affects both the chance of encountering enemies in Adventure Mode and the amount of Bubbles you receive.
Full List of Changes
Passive Skills
Added the ability for heroes to unlock passive skills. Their descriptions can be found in the Compendium at the Main Camp.
Cat received the Fluffy passive skill - anyone who attacks it in melee takes a small amount of damage.
Dandelonion gained Ranged Counterattack - once per turn, he retaliates with a ranged attack - and Steadfast, which grants a defense bonus until he moves.
Fazollo received Melee Counterattack and Fresh, which increases damage when above 50% HP.
Main Camp
Added a new structure for starting Stories and Adventures.
Updated and added animations to the Yurt that opens the Compendium.
Adventure
In reward stages, heroes can now obtain passive skills.
Story

If you decide to purchase Whimsical Heroes now, you can get the game at a special launch discount!
Whimsical Heroes is a tactical turn-based game where you lead a team of three heroes through the fairytale land of Whimsicalia in search of precious Bubbles. Simple rules make the gameplay light and accessible, while still offering surprising depth.
In Early Access you’ll find:
- Story Mode with dozens of handcrafted battles and exploration–narrative scenes,
- Adventure Mode with randomly generated encounters that can be played multiple times to earn Development Points exchangeable for unique gameplay upgrades,
- Three heroes, each with their own abilities and progression paths,
- Three companions who provide bonuses during battles and can be upgraded as you play.

Original postThe moment we’ve been eagerly waiting for is finally coming: Whimsical Heroes, our long-awaited gem, will soon be available to purchase in Early Access!
Planned Early Access release date: September 22, 2025
Regular price: $9.99
We decided to release Whimsical Heroes in Early Access because, although small in scale, we believe the game already offers an interesting experience for players who enjoy tactical gameplay in a calmer, cartoony setting. With the feedback and support from players during this phase, we want to keep developing the title over the coming months and add content that best matches your expectations. Early Access will launch with the following content:
Story mode! Dozens of handcrafted battles and exploration–narrative scenes
Adventure Mode, allowing multiple runs through procedurally generated battle sequences to earn Development Points that can be exchanged for unique gameplay upgrades
Three heroes each with unique abilities and progression paths
Three companions, providing various bonuses during battles, which can be upgraded throughout the game
Remember that if you want to check out the game for free, the demo is still available on Steam, and just got an update with some fixes and improvements to better reflect the state of the full game.
We are extremely excited for our launch, as well as for all the content we plan to add. We hope exploring Whimsicalia brings you joy, and that you will actively take part in its growth and improvement.
Have fun!

By day, he sets mildly inconvenient traps for anyone who dares litter, shout, or disrespect tree boundaries. By night, he’s snacking upon “one or two” of his favorite apples and learning the woodland gossip. (Word is, a certain pumpkin witch has got a serious crush. It’s complicated.) Stay on the lookout for his traps, meant to trip up even the most daring adventurers.

With a head like a wrecking ball and the temperament of a hangry houseplant, Cucumberbatch doesn’t mess around. He uses his entire body like a club, body-slamming first, and asking questions never. But with such a pretty garden to protect, can you blame him?

Developer postTurn-Based Carnival - Whimsical Heroes Update
We are pleased to announce the release of the new content patch for our demo as part of our participation in the Turn-Based Carnival on Steam! In this update, we focused on enhancing skills. Both the heroes and their companions' skills can be developed while staying at the camp.
Original postWe are pleased to announce the release of the new content patch for our demo as part of our participation in the Turn-Based Carnival on Steam!
In this update, we focused on enhancing skills. Both the heroes and their companions' skills can be developed while staying at the camp. Simply choose the equipment of the heroes near the campfire or one of the companions to open the development screen.
Each learned skill has up to four different upgrades. Some increase damage, others reduce cooldown or required action points, while others give new properties to the skills. For example, upgraded Piercing will ignore the enemy's armor, and the False Note will hit more distant and numerous targets.
In addition to skill development, we also introduced improvements to the unit queue to support dynamic changes in initiative. And you know what? Chasing not only increases action points but also boosts initiative. Empowered by it, a hero will not only go farther but also earlier.
Last but not least, we've given a more unique atmosphere to the locations our heroes travel through. The forest is now darker, and Baba-Yaga's domain may seem a bit gloomy.
Since the demo was released, we have already published several important updates. If you want to know more about the changes we're making, have access to behind-the-scenes work, and influence the development of Whimsical Heroes, join our Discord now.

Original postFrom now on, all information regarding the game will be published under the new title “Whimsical Heroes” that replaced the name "Bubbleland".
We assure you that the change is purely cosmetical, and the idea behind the game stays the same. Whimsical Heroes will be the same cartoonish and wacky take on dynamic turn based battles with unique heroes. The new name, as we believe, better suits the game’s tone and is more descriptive.
The changes affected all our social media, you can find below - we strongly encourage you to follow them all for all the news and announcements:

Original postHi Everyone!
Bubbleland is an independent game, a passion project, which we carry out in our spare time. Although working in a tiny team is quite challenging, a great creative freedom is one of its advantages.
Today we would like to tell you what stage of production we are at.
- The game is functional already, most of the mechanics have been implemented, and now the biggest challenge is, and will be until the end of production, creating the game content - graphics, sounds, music and encounters.
- Recently, the game has been enriched with a lot of new graphic and animation assets of characters, items and background elements. The background itself moves more beautifully than ever during the character's journey.
- The system of the adventure scenes has changed! Player's party will not only fight battles, but also search the levels for treasures, interact with other characters and choose the paths they want to follow.
- Battle music now changes dynamically depending on which side of the conflict is closer to victory.
- Existing battles have had their difficulty balanced, and opponents have gained new skills.
- Countless improvements to the game's operation and the display of the interface have been implemented.
Thanks for your interest in our game! If you want to support us more, add Bubbleland to your Wishlist - it motivates us to further work and shows that there are people waiting for us to provide them with the best possible experience.
Also check out our other social media, where we will share further information and behind the scenes materials:

Original postWelcome everyone!
We are happy to finally announce Bubbleland!Bubbleland is a cute little game that makes tactical battles less complicated and more fun. If you've always liked turns and hexes, but aren't interested in exploring stat sheets and optimal character builds, you'll love this little cartoonish game.
The game is all about simplicity, but the gameplay lacks no depth. We believe Bubbleland can offer you a variety of tactics, impressive skill combinations and exciting face offs, without requiring you to painstakingly learn the intricacies of the combat system.
Key features of Bubbleland:
- simple but clever gameplay, easy to learn but engaging for hours
- variety of available tactics, to keep things interesting all the time
- colorful, cartoonish setting, ‘cause not everything has to be realistic, dirty and gray
- light and humorous story, to take a break from tension and seriousness
Feel free to leave suggestions and any sort of feedback on our game in this Steam Community channel.
Wishlist Bubbleland now - it helps us a lot - and stay tuned for further updates!
