Devlog #7 — A New Mode, Demo Update & Steam Next Fest!

Time flies faster than a Babol getting launched off the map.

Over the past few months, we’ve been busy polishing gameplay, fixing bugs… and occasionally creating entirely new problems for ourselves.

Most importantly:We made a brand new mode. And honestly, it has slowly turned into a very dangerous team-based soap war.

(We still haven’t decided on the final name yet.)

A Mode Where Soap Is No Longer “Peacefully Collected”

In most previous modes, collecting soap usually meant:

turning it in for points

growing bigger

and bullying smaller Babols with confidence

But this time, things work differently. At the start of the match, every player already spawns with 5 soaps.

And now, soap only has one purpose: Blow up your opponents. Very simple. Very effective.

The rules are easy:

• Hit an enemy with soap → +20 points

• Blast an enemy off the map → +100 points

🔴 Red Team vs 🔵 Blue Team

In this mode, players can no longer freely switch colors. Now you actually have to pick a side.

Each side has its own base to protect. Bases start with 30 HP. Every successful soap hit deals 2 damage. The first team to destroy the enemy base wins.

⭐ Let’s watch the clip 👇

There’s Also Something “Slightly Unsafe” Behind the Base

To make battles even more chaotic, we added several unlockable features near each team’s base.

As teams earn points during the match, new special systems will gradually become available.

Here are some of the features currently implemented:

·500 Points — Soap Cannon

Players can operate a giant cannon that launches massive soap projectiles into crowded battle zones.

·1000 Points — Assault Squad

Your base will begin deploying AI assault squads that continuously march toward the enemy base.

Players can push forward together with the assault squad, creating a strange but amazing feeling where the game suddenly turns from a party brawler into a full-scale battlefield.

·1500 Points — Flying Launcher

Players gain access to a special flying launcher that can rapidly send them across the map. Perfect for quickly entering fights, sneaking attacks on enemy bases… or accidentally launching yourself straight into the water.

Of course, these systems are still being adjusted and expanded.And we already have more ideas planned for the future, so please stay tuned.

At this point, this is no longer just a normal party brawler.It’s starting to feel more like an escalating jelly war.
