Everything good, my gelatinous friends?! Mr. Jello has been thinking hard about the player experience and decided to focus on making the game more responsive to player actions, while also helping people understand what makes the game fun.

Board

• The Susport cartridge now costs 25 Jellocoins

• The Molotov cartridge now costs 12 Jellocoins

• The D10 cartridge now costs 12 Jellocoins

• The Surprise Gift Giveaway now awards 10 coins or deals 15 damage

• An old card upgrade system has been disabled; it might return in the future, perhaps in a different form

Minigames

• Catch-a-Pong duration reduced to 90 seconds

• After a certain amount of time, the player in last place in Catch-a-Pong now receives a shield upon respawning

• The Catch-a-Pong map is now larger

• Catch-a-Pong players now grow slightly in size when scoring

• JelloControl time limit reduced to 120 seconds (note that this minigame can end earlier)

• Sort'n'Store duration increased to 60 seconds

• Bonk Heights duration reduced to 90 seconds

• Pakuferno duration increased to 90 seconds

Quality of Life

• Sort'n'Store: Modified for better clarity regarding what is happening

• JelloControl: Now the Projectiles pass straight through the wall

• Bonk Heights: changed the position of the score indicator

• Lights for the Requiem: Improved the visual indicator for when to press the button

• Cakewalk: Improved the visual indicator for the horn

• Soulbeats: Improved visual beat identification

• Wizard Minigames: Added a visual effect for charged shots

• Lie Detector: Added sound effects, fluid motion effects, and highlighting for current events

• More translations added to the game

• Pakuferno now displays score indicators for actions

• The final round is now announced in the turn-switch text

• Flappy Bros: characters now flash white when punched and the sun+background react better to that

• Adjusted the layering of the Whac a Mole, Shield, and player icon for better visibility

• Added a movement indicator to SUSport, as well as camera locking to prevent confusion

• Surprise Gift Giveaway space text is now better laid out

• Added text for reconnection status

• Added screen shake to most minigames

Bugs

• Flappy Bros: characters no longer inconsistently become giant

• Quickcharge Quarrel: Cubes no longer randomly jump into combat before reaching the target position

• Bot cartridges can no longer be used by the host in the mode online

• Bonk Height: Score is no longer multiplied by the number of online players

• Buying a D10 die item while in the shop using the Scroll of Town Portal item no longer consumes the D10 as if it were the Town Portal Scroll.

• Fixed a bug where cards would visually swap places but retain incorrect effects

• Pakuferno: Removed continuous synchronization of unnecessary data that was destroying the minigame's performance

• Fixed an issue where the screen wouldn't darken the water on the board when objects were in focus

Known critical bugs

Solutions have been applied and tested for the following bugs, though it is uncertain if they are fully resolved due to a lack of extreme testing environments:

• Starting or reconnecting to a game sometimes fails; chances are higher with 4 players and/or setups with vastly different performance capabilities

• The match lobby may encounter issues if players join and leave, especially if they were already in the lobby. (Currently, it is best to recreate the lobby if this happens)

Current development priorities

We are maintaining our priorities but shifting our approach: we will soon release the game as a DEMO. To that end, we are focusing entirely on fixing and polishing existing content before adding anything new. The goal is to attract new players via the demo format—which is better for grabbing attention—while ensuring the build is completely stable.

• Speed ​​up the bots and prevent issues with them on the board

• Extensive polishing of current content

  POST-DEMO:

• Expand the board

• Improve the board gameplay loop with new cards and tiles
