- Squirmish Patch 0.4.07 (Early Access) - 1 December 2025
For Gamepad and Steam Deck Players Stick control presses are now mapped to a convenient behavior which moves the active selection highlight to a useful and visually obvious location. What specifically happens depends on context, but is identical for both sticks.When in the middle of a match, pressing either stick will move the active selection highlight to a card in your hand.When at a navigation page featuring a large Battle button, pressing either stick will move the active selection highlight to the Battle button. From there you can directly start a new match by pressing the A button.This new behavior can be a useful shortcut, but it also functions as an easy way to reorient yourself within the game UI if you visually lose track of the active selection highlight.PvP Match Post-game Fix (Full game only)We recently discovered that if you were perusing the final tabletop state after a P…

- Sneak Peek - Unreleased DLC Cards (Coming Soon) - 12 May 2025
To celebrate Squirmish's participation in the Creature Collector Fest, enjoy a sneak peek of two new cards, part of a ginormous 24-card booster pack to be released soon as DLC. (Summer 2025) Up front is CHEEKPOCKETS . With all those nuts and acorns filling her cheeks, no one properly knows if she's a squirrel or woodchuck or maybe something hamster-adjacent, but CHEEKPOCKETS can uncork some serious damage with RAPID-FIRE NUT SPIT. Plus, with MUMBLE & SCURRY, she frequently scampers away from attacks, avoiding damage. Next up is TACKY O'SWEATERSAURUS. "What's this!?" you say, "Another seasonal Christmas card?" No! He wears that disgusting sweater all year long. That's why he's Tacky. Not only is this dinosaur really big, with DOUBLE-KNIT, only plus-sized cards can attack him. This spells serious trouble to opponents fielding smaller cards. With WOLLY BULLY and a mildewy stench that rival…
- Squirmish Patch 0.3.32 (Early Access) - 21 April 2025
Some minor updates to both the FULL and DEMO versions of Squirmish. Improved bot behavior re: SHAVING CREAM Bot players have always been pretty stupid with APEBEARD's SHAVING CREAM ability. That ability blocks first time attackers from attacking APEBEARD. Players with APEBEARD in their initial hand could take advantage of this weakness by playing APEBEARD as starter and never playing another card. This usually led to an easy victory as the bots stubbornly prioritized not attacking their own cards and ended up skipping every attack. With this change, bots will now better recognize this situation and start attacking friendly cards to get around SHAVING CREAM. Fixed issues with CAT BURGLAR stealing SOO-EER or DEFIBRILLATOR SWINI's SOO-EER and DR. DEVIL M.D.'s DEFIBRILLATOR are both activated abilities that allow you to fish a card from a pile. (SOO-EER let's you take a card from the draw p…
- Squirmish Patch 0.3.29 (Early Access) - 20 March 2025
A quick update to the card Kooga's ability, NINE LIVES. Whenever Kooga is knocked out, it's special ability NINE LIVES, does a die roll, and on a roll of 4-6, Kooga is fully healed rather than knocked out. Usually this works fine, but after Kooga is saved from a natural knock out, it will periodically perform the NINE LIVES roll again when it's not called for. While this generally does not break the game, it is an annoying little bug, and now it's fixed. (Most knock outs occur when a card drops to zero HP. A natural knock out happens when an attack explicitly says KNOCK OUT. Groxny's CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, and Mr, Bottoms's PREPARATION ACHE are two examples.) This fix was included in updates to both the FULL version and the DEMO version.
- Squirmish Patch 0.3.28 (Early Access) - 10 March 2025
A quick update with some minor changes. Changes: Fixed a bug that was causing Rogues' Gallery opponents to play at a weaker level than intended. (This was partially fixed in the last update, but now it covers all rogue bots.) Polished the preload of greeter characters (the ones that appear on the home page) so that the don't blink in late after the home page is revealed. This fixes were included in updates for both the FULL version and the DEMO version.

- Squirmish is on sale for your chump change! - 27 January 2025
Normally, Squirmish: The Videogame of Brawling Beasties costs 27 quarters, 2 dimes and 4 pennies (or 699 pennies!). For a limited time (Jan 27 - Feb 3), you can get it for only 6 quarters, 2 dimes and 4 pennies (or 174 pennies)! That is a savings of 21 quarters (or 525 pennies)! Honestly, we don't care much about the dang quarters... it's really those pennies we are in it for. Really, could you please just pay us with 174 pennies? You could probably find that in your recliner, judging by the holes in your overall pockets. Can you believe most people want to GET RID of their pennies? The FOOLS! If someone offered you 1 egg for a dozen eggs, would you take it? Of course not! Yet every day, people are offered 1 quarter for 25 pennies... and, improbably, they think they are getting a good deal! Honest Abe Lincoln! It's no wonder they put him on the penny. The best president we ever had, wha…

Squirmish is on sale just in time for Squirmuss! Yes, Squirmish currently costs only $2.44 (65% off)! That is less than the cost of a peppermint-gingerbread-reindeer latte! Get Squirmish now and you'll be ready for Squirmuss Day... that special day that comes once a year when St. Thick bestows so much glorious extra damage in the game, it will be plum-figgy-pudding nuts. Just check out his special ability! Here is some seasonal poesy to celebrate... THE NIGHT BEFORE SQUIRMUSS 'Twas the night before Squirmuss, when all thru the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a louse; Stinky socks were hung by the toilet with care, In fears that St. Thick would soon emerge from there; The creatures were gnarled all caged up like felons, While omens of salty wounds pounded their melons, When down in the bathroom there arose such a fuss, I knew it could only be that ornery cuss. As I went to t…
- HAIRY SQUIRMUSS! - 28 November 2024
'Tis the season to be brawling! Fall down with a flop! A BOP BAM BOOM! It's the most volatile time of the year! Indeed, December is the season of fighting! When all your third cousins, uncles and ankles show up at the house for whatever moldy old holiday they're into, and to sleep in your hay loft, eat your burnt croutons and share their idiot views on politics, meat and the benefits of tin-foil hats, why not beat the nog out of them... with cards! Introduce the whole family to YOUR holiday... Squirmuss, the holiday of card-battling!

- Squirmish Patch 0.3.23 (Early Access) - 27 November 2024
New card ST. THICK As we enter Squirmuss Season, we're celebrating with a new card featuring ST. THICK! Sure, he's as rude as a SantaCon Santa, but he packs a punch, and in December, he'll inspire your other cards to do even more damage during their attacks. ST. THICK is our first card with a date-dependent ability, called SEASON'S BEATINGS. In December, his battle cry grants a +1 DAMAGE to your next attack, not just with ST. THICK, but with any of your cards in play! And you can use it repeatedly, once each turn. On actual Squirmuss Day, (traditionally celebrated on December 26th), the bonus is boosted to +2. Even during months other than December, ST. THICK's special attack STINKY SOCK is a serious threat which can instantly Knock Out a card for your victory pile, even friendly cards. How fast can you say "Insta Win!"? From mid-November to mid-January, ST. THICK may show up in Standar…

This is a quick patch to fix an error that we recently discovered. Fixed an issue where game would freeze when selecting the format 2 Group Monte on the SPAR page.
- Squirmish Update 0.3.21 (Early Access) — Custom Clash PvP - 30 October 2024
New flexible and customizable PvP experience This update introduces Custom Clash, a new casual PvP experience for Squirmish: The Videogame. Online Multiplayer is not new to Squirmish, and indeed, battling against other worthy human opponents is likely the most challenging and fun way to play. However, we've found that our existing PvP offerings, Matchmaking and Fight a Friend, are not yet creating enough opportunities for players to find timely PvP matchups. In practice, a skill-based pairing system like Matchmaking needs a sizable community to function effectively and during Early Access ramp up, our player base is not yet big enough to reliably fuel the Matchmaking queue. Also, Matchmaking necessarily limits play to a minimal set of play formats at any one time. In contrast, Fight a Friend, our other PvP experience, does support all available play formats, from Standard to Classic 70…

However shall I exploit this brute's group ability? What kind of mad world is this where you get a group card that has no comrades with which to fraternize? It is like getting a glorious scoop of cookie dough ice cream only to discover some rotter has already consumed all the cookie dough!" Well, the cookie dough has arrived! The Halloweenies 6-card DLC pack is here to sweeten your game and perplex your opponents! And, seeing as we don't want you playing any tricks on us, these treats are absolutely free for the download! You've probably already met PUNKIN HAID, not…
