addedBeware Your SurroundingsWe are introducing a new game mechanic - deadly obstacles and environments! On all of the new Popper maps, you have to play around moving obstacles and environments, offering a unique and challenging twist on traditional Space Slurpies gameplay.
addedBeware Your SurroundingsAnd more!! Play every map to experience this new game mode!
addedLooking GooooooddWe spent extra time polishing all maps. In addition to the new maps, we went back and remastered many of the new maps for the next generation of headsets. Check out the stunning new details in Buoyant Blossoms and replay some of your old favorites to see how we made a great game even better!
addedFeeling GoooooddWow! Even with the the new content, maps, and skins, the game is now HALF the size in your storage! Why?? We spent a lot of time optimizing the performance of the game, increasing framerate, decreasing memory, and making this the best performing version of Space Slurpies to ever be released!
addedHello World :)Get ready to welcome a lot of new players to the world of Space Slurpies! In two weeks, we are releasing a FREE version of Space Slurpies to get more people in the game. In order to make online play even more interesting with the new players coming soon, we're mixing up Matchmaking - expect lots of randomized modifiers for a hilarious good time! Just to be clear, the paid version is still the premium Slurpie experience. You have access to all map packs (Zen, Popper Play), associated skins (Ninja, Virus Slurp), and more . Also, to specially thank you for supporting our studio, every paid version of the game gets access to the unique and bubbly Orbit skin!

Hello World :)

Get ready to welcome a lot of new players to the world of Space Slurpies! In two weeks, we are releasing a FREE version of Space Slurpies to get more people in the game. In order to make online play even more interesting with the new players coming soon, we're mixing up Matchmaking - expect lots of randomized modifiers for a hilarious good time!

Also, to specially thank you for supporting our studio, every paid version of the game gets access to the unique and bubbly Orbit skin!

Other notable items to prove that we have been working hard We added a lot more bug fixes and polishes. Many of which I've forgotten by now, but here are a few more favorites to point out, making this an awesome patch (that we worked really hard on!).

  • Leaderboard fixes (especially for Oculus headsets)

  • All achievements fixed and verified to be working properly

  • DLC enablement for App Lab users (with cross-play to Steam)

  • Cross-platform multiplayer for FREE and PAID users across ALL headsets

  • Pro Controls mode disables slurping assistance

  • LOD improvements - no more clipping or discoloration of edibles in the distance

  • Mesh optimization - Slurps look even better from a distance

  • Shader improvements - increased framerates and load times

  • All types of sounds can now be muted from settings menu

  • Fixed bug where matchmaking voice chat and private game voice chat drops after the first round

  • Removed microphone access request from start of game and moved into multiplayer only when needed

  • Bug fix that keeps the menu screen from flashing up before a round starts

  • Next game will start automatically after a time period, keeping gameplay moving

  • Multiplayer performance and networking improvements

  • Map thumbnail bug fixed in map selection menu for private matches

P.S. If you made it this far, did you know that Space Slurpies only has one dev? Yeah, for real. So
