We've been developing our game for quite a long time, but the only thing remains the same was characters. Technically, they were poorly optimized; on the visual side, the characters were, let’s say, "unclear".

So after much discussion and brainstorming, we decided to take the time to update all of the playable characters.

Main goals were:

• Visual difference for classes.
  
• Better optimization.
  
• Funny look with a hint of madness (and definetelly more emotions).
  
• Suitable for accessories.

This brought us to this:

New flea concept.


And here are the game models of each character:


Slobber. Uses a sticky liquid to catch and destroy its enemies.


Smoker. Assassin class, fast and cunny. Can use invisibility. Makes tremendous damage from the enemy's back.


Shocker Well balanced electricity-based flea.


Dozer. Little too slow but heavy and strong flea.


We've also thought about the personalization you can add to your characters and have added our first batch of caps. They're already in the game if you join us for the next Playtest you'll be able to choose what to wear :)

That's all for now, please share your feedback in comments or on our Discord[discord.gg]

Hey, here's what we've recently achieved in development. But before we start please find the Join Playtest button at the game store page and request access:

we have got more than 130 new requests from our previous post, and still looking for more people to join, please do it ;)

In this update we were mostly focused on character classess updates:

1. Tentacula "Fighter" class becomes a "Shocker" now. His bite applies periodic electrical damage to the enemy and if two enemy are close enough to each other they will both receive damage.

2. "Invisibility" ability has duration now. We've also added a nice-looking visual and sound effects when you are invisible.

3. Visual indicator for bite reload added.
4. New "Burrow" ability added.
5. New "Stone skipping" ability added.

6. New "Bomber" ability added.

7. New "Energy ball" ability added.
8. Problem with team mixing when join from lobby is fixed now.
9. Started working on "offline" training map with NPC waves spawning. It will help new players to adapt faster :)
10. All explosion VFXs are improved.

This is all for today, we still have a lot of updates on the map and game mode but let's continue about this next time.

Any comments and ideas are highly welcome as well as adding the game to your wishlists

;)
Thank you!
