- FF4K Charity Donations, sunsetting the games - 27 June 2025
We're delighted and sad! It is bittersweet to say that we're officially stopping support for Tango Fiesta and its DLC, but we hope those of you who enjoyed it still do think of it fondly. This does mean bugs won't be fixed, and support will not be available for the game as we concentrate on the enxt exciting chapter for the studio - Trash Goblin and whatever comes after it!We learned a lot making TF and FF4K - and made a ton of amazing memories too - and are proud to have used the DLC to raise money for charity! Speaking of which, we're making the final donation from sales of FF4K - once more sending money to the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation (originally the Stephen Lawrence Trust) and The Advancement Project. We're taking the entire sales from the DLC since our last donation, and instead of splitting it we're just going to send the exact same amount to each charity. As mentioned abov…

- FF4K Patch 1 - 16 December 2020
Well now! After ShogunAsh just completely wrecked our leaderboards.... well we thought some balance changes were in order. Plus you know, some things just weren't as fun as we'd hoped, and... yeah we kinda lost a bet with ShogunAsh and we had to make a new gun for the game. It's called - what else - the ShoGun, and we even recorded new Arnie VO for it! Here it is in glorious action: ShogunAsh's fave guns are burst fire, so we had to make it another one of those. It's most useful against big crowds, so the later you get it, the more useful it will be. It's exclusive to Fascism Fighters 4000, and has a rare chance to be in any Weapon Crate. In fact, the chance increases the more times you don't pick it up, so live long enough and you'll see it! And yup, we've re-balanced the game to make sure it's a lot harder to reach the tipping point that meant you could basically roll over enemies wit…
- FIRST DONATIONS MADE - 25 November 2020
When we launched Fascism Fighters 4000 we promised we'd pass all the proceeds - by topping up from sales of the base game where necessary to counter tax and Valve's store cut - to charities fighting racial inequality, and supporting Black Lives Matter causes. Well, we thought today would be a good day to do it for the first time! We're incredibly happy to donate $100 split equally to two charities - and endlessly thankful to you lovely lot for making it possible. $50 has been donated to the Stephen Lawrence Trust: ...and another $50 has been donated to The Advancement Project, but we're waiting on them sending the receipt 😅 We couldn't have done this without you! but that's not where it ends. We've got a patch incoming for the game, which includes a bunch of balance changes, and a BRAND NEW GUN named after the wonderful British streamer by the name of ShogunAsh, who utterly smashed our…
- BRAND NEW DLC. YEP. IT’S CALLED FASCISM FIGHTERS 4000. F*** NAZIS. - 28 October 2020
HELLO! As the headline of this alludes to, there’s new DLC for Tango Fiesta OUT NOW right here on Steam! It’s called Fascism Fighters 4000 and frankly you’re going to love it. You play as Macmillan, Conchita or Dr Henk, the badass heroes of colour whose main mission is to fight fascists sent from the future in the name of equality and freedom for all. We’ve filled our studio gaps with Black creators to help us make this DLC a reality, which brings us on to our next point. When you buy this DLC (which you’re absolutely going to, right?), all the profits will be donated to BLM charities around the world, and what’s even better is we’ll top up the donation ourselves from sales of the main game from this date onwards so that 100% of the DLC cost is donated. We at Spilt Milk believe that equality (by definition) should be equal for all, but unfortunately, we live in a world where that still…
- FIVE YEARS OLD - 26 September 2020
We're so proud of this game, and all of the lovely reviews and stories people have had playing it! We're going to be launching one last update in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out...
- PATCH 01 (and a sale!) - 16 June 2020
It’s been 5 long years since John Strong and his friends first started their fight to save the world. 5 long years since the game launched out of Early Access. In that time the game’s done pretty well for us, and even got ported to Xbox One and PS4 with some improvements. And the world has changed a lot too! Steam offers a lot more tools to devs, everyone’s stuck at home playing games all day (I mean working from home) and basically, the timing felt right for us to launch a big update! Headlines: Achievement fixes! New mode! No online multiplayer mode, but fear not, Remote Play Together’s got your back! Without boring you, we started work on this patch the moment we launched the game to Steam back in 2015. We had huge plans but things conspired against us. The game’s publisher went under within about 4 weeks of launch, and we never saw any of the money from that all-important launch win…

- It's Not A Tumour! Tango (nearly) Free-esta - 19 March 2020
COVID-19 is making the world a little tougher to live in right now. We thought we'd offer Tango fiesta as a source of some light relief, for as close to $0 as we can. It's got online co-op multiplayer, and is hopefully quite funny too. Available for 2 weeks, but maybe we'll extend it too! You can hit our discord too if you want a free code, but we've only got limited amounts so first come first served.
- Remote Play Together Sale - 22 October 2019

- Development Update - 16 May 2016
Hiya! One of our lovely fans reminded us that we've been quiet since the launch and the first patch, but that we'd mentioned a pretty chunky update we were expecting to land in January. It's now a few months since January, so we owe you an update. Basically, we got a bunch of paid work (both through clients and government funding on Waterways: http://spiltmilkstudios.tumblr.com/waterways) so our plans got put on hold. That's the first thing that happened - despite us having done a ton of work towards the Big Update, it just made no sense to turn down the money we were offered (without it we wouldn't be around to release ANY updates for Tango at all) so we just paused the active development until after that work was complete. That's just around the corner now. Then, another cool thing happened - totally related to Tango Fiesta this time, but something we're not able to talk about yet. Re…

- TANGO FIESTA - post EGX launch mini patch - 28 September 2015
We've basically been at EGX since launch, but we wanted to get some fixes to bugs we spotted out to you as soon as possible: - The default control pad labels for 'Shoot' and 'Melee' on the loading screen were mixed up. Now they're correct. - If the player completed a mission whilst under the influence of something that slows them down (water, bushes or cobweb) then the game would set that as their new max speed. This no longer happens. - We've reduced the slow down effect o players running through bushes in Jungle (world 2). - We've rebalanced both Ghoul Squad & Bionic Cop (worlds 4 and 5) for slightly lower enemy numbers in co-op.It was getting a bit much for players during EGX. We may well tweak again if it seems too easy. We're still planning our major update, but until then expect more, smaller patches to keep things ticking over nicely!

- UPDATE #34 - Launch Date, Huge Update, Free Game! - 11 September 2015
We’re launching Tango fIesta out of Early Access on the 24th September. That’s less than two weeks away! ARGH! To celebrate, we’ve done a few things… We’ve just fired an update to the game for you live. It’s likely to be the penultimate update before we go full v1.0. The usual changelist with full details is below, but basically it’s way prettier and way more fun, plus the online is a TON more stable. We’re still keeping the story, steam workshop and final world/enemies/traps/weapons/boss back for launch though. Sorry! - We’ll be taking Tango Fiesta to EGX in Birmingham, UK. We were born there two years ago in a game jam, and it’s wonderful to be able to come full circle with the game and showing it there one last time! Here's the site for the full lowdown: https://www.egx.net/egx - We’ll also be launching Tango Fiesta 1.0 LIVE from the show! I hope to update you all with the link, but…
