New Item Chest System + Escape Events

We’ve added new systems to make each match more chaotic, strategic, and unpredictable.

Every 2 minutes, two chests will drop into the map. Each chest contains two items, giving players new ways to escape, chase, hide, trick, or turn the match around.

For Critters, chest items can include:

Grow

Become larger and harder to deal with.

Space Jump

Launch into the air and create distance.

Fast Speed

Move quicker and escape danger.

Disguise

Hide in plain sight and confuse the Kollectors.

For Kollectors, chest items can include:

Fake Portal

Trick Critters with a dangerous decoy.

Invisibility

Disappear from sight and set up the perfect ambush.

We’ve also added two new quick-time escape events for Critters.

When a Critter is caught in a Kollector’s mouth, they now have a chance to escape by mashing the button fast enough.

When a Critter is trapped in a cage, they can also try to break free through a coin mini-game.

This update adds more tension to every match. A chest drop, a last-second mash, or a lucky cage escape can save a Critter, empower a Kollector, or completely change the outcome of the game.

Good luck out there. The next chest might be Steam post image Steam post image Steam post image your way out, or your trap.
