Hello everyone! I'm Hu Ping, the developer of Jumpy vs. Chompy.

The game's first major update is here!

In my earlier post, “Feedback Wanted Before Our Major Update: Two-Player Co-op Upgrade Plan,” I asked for your honest thoughts on co-op and set out the goals for this update:

Smoother two-player gameplay, a stronger sense of teamwork, and more reasons to play again.

That upgrade plan is now complete.

This update focuses on solo and local two-player co-op gameplay. It adds mode selection cards, increases character movement speed, introduces High-Speed Mode, adjusts level difficulty, and improves background visuals and animation.

I've also added dedicated Steam feature buttons and connected all the Steam features available for integration.

And Chompy has learned to eat cards too. Now, while escaping, you'll also need to watch what it picks up!

Important: No Price Increase

The game's regular price remains unchanged. Existing owners receive all the content in this update at no additional cost.

New players purchasing at the current regular price will also receive the complete updated game.

I've put a lot of time into this update. By looking at things from the player's perspective, I hope to keep making the game you bought more enjoyable.

1. The Two-Player Co-op Upgrade Plan Is Complete

Feedback from players, curators, and content creators showed me how much interest there was in two-player co-op and helped me decide where to focus this update.

I've upgraded the controls, pacing, and enjoyment of co-op, completing the plan I previously announced.

Grab a friend and return to the chase to experience the updated local co-op gameplay. If you prefer playing alone, you can enjoy the gameplay updates in solo mode too.

2. New Mode Selection Cards

Choose the gameplay mode you want to challenge through the new mode selection cards, including the new High-Speed Mode.

Whether playing alone or together, you can try a new rhythm of escape.

3. Chompy Can Eat Cards Too!

Chompy can now eat cards and use their corresponding attack effects against your character.

While escaping, watch both where Chompy is and which cards it has eaten. A card you were hoping to collect might get eaten by Chompy first!

In co-op, you can warn each other and watch out for changes to Chompy's attacks together.

4. Faster Character Movement

Character movement speed has increased, making running, dodging, and repositioning more responsive—and the escape itself faster-paced.

You'll feel the movement changes in both solo and two-player co-op.

5. New High-Speed Mode

High-Speed Mode reduces jump height, making takeoffs and landings more compact.

Shorter jumps create a faster rhythm of play. Try it alone or with a friend and see how long you can survive!

6. Adjusted Level Difficulty

Level difficulty has been adjusted to account for the changes to character movement speed and card mechanics.

Even if you know the original gameplay well, there's an updated chase rhythm to experience.

7. Better-Looking, More Dynamic Backgrounds

Background visuals have been improved with additional animated effects, making the scenery richer and more lively.

Your character runs, Chompy gives chase, and the world around them moves too.

8. Dedicated Steam Feature Buttons

I've added dedicated Steam feature buttons and improved the game's Steam integration, making the corresponding features easier to find and use.

I've connected all the Steam features available for integration.

This is another part of the experience upgrade: making platform features more convenient to use alongside the game.

9. Donation Button and Leaderboard Removed

Looking at these features from the player's perspective, I believe the donation button and leaderboard are not things players are interested in, so I have removed them in this update.

I want to put my time into gameplay and experiences that players care more about.

This update continues to build around the heart of Jumpy vs. Chompy: escaping. Run faster, make shorter jumps, and face a Chompy that can eat cards too.

With the previously announced co-op upgrade plan complete, I hope escaping together brings you more fun and more moments worth remembering.

Try the updated solo gameplay, local two-player co-op, and High-Speed Mode. If you encounter problems or have feedback about the experience, please let me know.

Thank you for supporting me as I keep making this game more enjoyable, step by step.

Read the world. Play the world. One shared universe.
Chompy Chronicles and Jumpy vs. Chompy belong to the same universe.
