Winter Update: Dash, Bunny Ears & Festive Campaign

Our Winter Update for the demo is live! First off: thank you so much for all your wishlists, feedback, and for sticking with us. Your support keeps this project alive. 💙

This is also the last demo update before release on January 14, 2026 — after this, we’re going all-in on launch with lots of new maps, content, and surprises. So let’s make this one count. ✨

Here’s what’s new in this build:

Seasonal: Christmas vibes in the campaign 🎁

We’re bringing some cozy winter energy into the game:

• Christmas palette for campaign objects Many objects now have festive variants (think glass, clocks, cannons, levers, pressure plates, dancefloors and more) so levels can light up in a warm, wintery glow.

• A tiny Christmas Easter egg When you load a campaign level, there’s now a small chance it will appear in full Christmas mode with the new palette. It’s rare on purpose, so if you roll it: enjoy the surprise and happy winter time. ☃️

Major gameplay updates: Dash, Bunny Ears & Cannons 🚀

These are the big ones for this update and we’d love your feedback on them:

Dash – a new burst of movement

Your Cluby can now Dash: a short, snappy burst of movement that helps you

• save risky jumps,

• adjust your position in tight setups, and

• explore more advanced routes.

It’s a small input with a big impact on how the game feels – perfect for speedrunners and anyone who likes tighter platforming.

Bunny Ears – a new wearable with attitude 🐰

We’ve added Bunny Ears as a proper, equipable item.

• They come with their own visuals and effects.

• They’re integrated into level logic (pressure plates, out-of-bounds checks, etc.), so they’re not just cosmetic fluff.

You’ll see them used in level designs and setups – and we’re excited to push them even further for release.

Cannon rework – smoother, clearer, less jank 💣

Cannons got a serious upgrade under the hood:

• They now behave much more predictably and reliably in gameplay.

• Camera tracking on active cannons is improved so you better see what’s going on.

• Edge cases (like being blasted or killed at awkward moments) are handled more robustly.

The goal: cannons should feel like a fun tool, not a bug generator.

World & visual updates 🌈

We’ve done a bunch of work to make the world look better and read more clearly:

• Speakers

  • New and refined speaker models

  • Improved animations and a jump effect when they hit the floor

  • Extra particles and icons so they pop more in the level

• Glass readability & variants

  • Broken glass is now easier to read (fewer shards, clearer silhouettes)

  • Dark glass and glass variations got multiple fixes

  • New glass shard variants add more variety without sacrificing clarity

• Materials, carpets & LEDs

  • New carpet variants

  • Updated materials across different objects

  • LED stripes with proper emission All together, levels feel a bit richer, more polished, and more readable – especially in combination with the Christmas look.

Audio & music 🔊

We’ve also put in time on the sound side so the game sounds closer to release quality:

• Music

  • Day music got mixing improvements

  • Menu and layer setups are cleaner and more consistent

• SFX polish

  • New / improved sounds for jumps (including BunnyJump), Dash, coins and more

  • Better audible ranges and volumes for important cues

You should notice the game communicating more clearly through sound: actions feel punchier, and important events stand out better.

Bug fixes & quality-of-life 🛠️

A (non-exhaustive) selection of things that should simply feel “less annoying” now:

• Game Over & restart flow

  • Cooldown on restarting with Space/Jump so you don’t accidentally mash yourself out of the screen transitions

  • Clearer prompts and handling around skip / Game Over behavior

• Cluby consistency & edge cases

  • More consistent Cluby colors between saves, editor and play

  • Better handling when Clubies go out of bounds or are temporarily disabled

• Builder & object logic

  • Adjusted object limits and improved handling for club object max amounts

  • Cleaner block categories and structure for building

• Stability, fonts & localization

  • Engine / tech upgrades and stability work

  • Font / character fixes and localization improvements in various menus

  • Highscore and menu logic cleaned up in the background

Lots of small things that, together, should make the game feel more stable and less rough around the edges.

What’s next: approaching release 🎬

Again: this is the last update for the demo. From here to January 14, 2026, we’ll focus on:

• new campaign maps,

• more content using Dash, Bunny Ears, Speakers & Cannons,

• and general launch polishing.

If you want to support us:

• Wishlist the game on Steam (this helps us a lot),

• Tell a friend about the demo,

• and share your thoughts on the new movement toys and Christmas surprises.

Thanks for playing, testing, and sending feedback – you’re helping shape the final game. 💙

Frohe Winterzeit & happy dashing, — The Team
