Hello everyone, hope your year has been off to a great start!
We wanted to make a post updating the community with where we're at, show off some of the cool stuff we've been working on, and talk a bit about our plans going forward in 2026.
Before we get into it, if you haven't already please be sure to follow us on TikTok where we'll be posting regular video updates and showing off some cool things you can do in the game:

What's new?
Perks
One of the things we're most excited about finally showing off are perks that you can equip to give yourself some helpful and wacky bonuses! Perks will have a huge effect on how you play the game and open up new options and secrets in each level.
Some of these perks will work like you'd expect, granting bonuses to health and other player attributes, but we're more excited about the sillier options. A few quick highlights include:
Rollerblades Perk: gives you rollerblades to skate around in, making you faster but also making maneuverability a little bit harder.
Propeller Hat Perk: gives you a propeller hat you can use to glide through the air.
Fountain of Youth Perk: allows you to heal from flushing toilets.
Short King Perk: shrinks you down to minuscule size so you can fit into cracks and crevices that are normally inaccessible.
We've got way more perks than just those (so far there are around 50+), and you'll be able to mix, match, and stack them all for some interesting combinations and effects!
Money
You might be wondering how you unlock perks. The first way is to find them in levels or get them as rewards for completing side quests. But some of them will be available for purchase in the shop! You'll earn FunBux for completing missions, and you'll also be able to find money scattered throughout the levels. So save up as much as you can in your Prank Account to able to afford the perks and equipment you want to buy!
Combat
We've been working on several new enemy types. Most of the work has gone into the main enemies you'll be fighting throughout the game, the Fun Police. The Fun Police will have a variety of enemy behaviors, appearances, and weapons. They work together in squads, so you can be sure where you find one, you'll find more. Luckily, the Clowns are well equipped to fight back, and you'll also be able to pick up Fun Police weapons to give them a taste of their own medicine!
Aside from the Fun Police, we've been working on some other more unique enemy types that you'll run into throughout the game. Some of them might even be secret!! We're hoping to show more of them off soon (except the secret ones).
The City
We've also been hard at work on the biggest level in the game, The City. This level has 3 separate targets that you need to prank and you can do it in any order and any way you want. It's also densely packed with side quests, secrets, and mini-games for you to find and interact with!
That's all for now, but there will be more soon!
There are a ton of other features to get into but we'll go more in depth on those in future posts so keep an eye on our page! We're planning on posting updates here more often as we get further along in development. Thanks so much for following the development of the game so far. We're in a really good spot with it and excited to get it in all of your hands some time soon!
