We unfortunately have some bad news to share: the game's getting delayed to 2026.
You may know that we were originally targeting a June 2025 release date... That didn't happen.
Our only programmer is required to go into conscript service for 11 months (it's mandatory in Estonia), so we don't have much choice but to delay the game. We also underestimated how much work it is to rework all the game's cutscenes to be in-engine and to update other art, but this delay does give our artist more time to work with.
We have a lot of cool stuff planned, so stay tuned for that!
That was the bad news we had to share with you. Now, here's something a little better.
The good news: we've updated the demo, fixing a bunch of bugs and adding some new content—as well as quite a few new languages! Try to guess what this one is:
As we couldn't hit our initial release goal, we decided to add some of the new content we've made into the demo. As such, it now contains all the new fixes we've done in the last couple months, alongside a few new outfits, new balls and even some levels.
There's also the new languages, including Võro, a South-Estonian language - this is probably the first time it's been featured in a video game! Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Finnish, Brazilian (and non-Brazilian) Portuguese and more are also now available!
