addedHost Migration SystemOne of the biggest complaints from our players was that if the host left the game, the game would be interrupted. For example, if the host saw their score was too low, they might hit Alt+F4 and disappear, causing the other players in the lobby to disconnect and their game to close. This will no longer be the case! With the new Host Migration system , if the host leaves the game, the game will not end and the host role will automatically transfer to another player. Your gaming experience will never be interrupted again! 🎉

Host Migration System

One of the biggest complaints from our players was that if the host left the game, the game would be interrupted. For example, if the host saw their score was too low, they might hit Alt+F4 and disappear, causing the other players in the lobby to disconnect and their game to close. This will no longer be the case! With the new Host Migration system, if the host leaves the game, the game will not end and the host role will automatically transfer to another player. Your gaming experience will never be interrupted again! 🎉

With this new feature, if the game is closed while results are being calculated, it will continue to show the results. If the current mini-game is not finished, it will replay it, and if it is finished, it will move to the next one. This will make your games more seamless and fun! Steam post image

Crab Teammate

A crab will be assigned to the missing team in Tile Takeover and Mini-Football games. It will paint tiles in Tile Takeover and act as a goalie in Mini-Football. Your crab buddy is always there to boost team spirit!

NEW Mini-Game: Track Race

Our brand-new Track Race mini-game is now available! We have redesigned the car physics and added a system where you can earn nitro by drifting. With random obstacles (cones) appearing on the map, races have become more exciting. Different track variations will be added in the next stage, so stay tuned!
