- Aged Cheddar Update (1.0.2) - 10 November 2025
The CHEEZ Build got a little longer to cook! This update changes Cheezballs to heal you whenever they score on your opponent. Cheez limbs are now part of a viable and balanced TORSO build. Aged Cheddar Update CHEEZ Limbs now give Cheezball chance as part of their Trait bonus Cheezballs now heal 100% of the time when scored. 1.0.2 Update Changelog: NEW: Hold to Serve! You can just hold the mouse button or spacebar now to serve tennis balls! Fixed issues with Reload time stat calculations Adjusted probabilities for Instant Reload abilities and made them function more reliably. Fixed issues with Wallter Rival and Gathering mechanic. Fixed issues with TORSO boss limbs entering the "used" state Thanks for playing TORSO TENNIS! Feel free to leave any feedback or bugs in the pause menu Feedback Box. (thanks DeadlyTissues)
- Patch 1.0.12 - 22 October 2025
TORSO TENNIS is now part of the 🍅Mato Mega Bundle🍅 where you can get a discount for completing a collection of my projects! Patch notes Cheez limbs now appropriately appear in Limb Shop after unlock Challenge Run rewards should appear in Tattoo Shop and Limb Shop now. Tortilla chip background jitter fixes. Thanks to AtegonDev for showing me how broken a TORSO TENNIS run can truly be. The endless run videos in the Discord have been WILD. Thank you DeadlyTissues for the awesome notes in the feedback form! Really appreciate you talking through your thoughts on the game's balance.
- Patch 1.0.11 - 10 October 2025
Patch Notes - Lucky Trait now only triggers off Standard Serves, not Bonus Serves. You can still make an infinite serve engine, it's just a little more difficult now. - Fixed issues with tattoo save data when continuing a run - Fixed an issue with inconsistent Shell logic when multiples were stacking on tiles - Capped obstacles on tiles at 100 to prevent crashes in runaway situations - Adjusted Cheez Trait stat description to use percentage values - Fixed Unity security flaw with patcher tool rather than new version that was breaking drag&drop input on linux builds I'm away until Tuesday for a bike trip, so communications may be sparse until then! Thank you all for playing TORSO TENNIS, I hope it has brought you some silly fun over the last two weeks!
- 1.0.08 Steam Deck Fix! - 7 October 2025
Fixed drag and drop functionality on Steam Deck
- 1.0.07 Update - 6 October 2025
Updates Fixed instances of Early Worm tattoo not triggering Fixed instances of Challenge Runs not unlocking Updated Unity Editor version to fix security issue announced on Friday
- Smol Patch 1-0-05 - 1 October 2025
TORSO Stat layout window changes: Now displaying stats from Tail Pocket limb slots Now displaying stats from Tattoo stat boosts Stat windows no longer display "+" before stat number Other changes: Rival limbs no longer show upgrade stars - they were never upgradeable, sorry! Adjusted text legibility by darkening a few backgrounds Fixed instances of Wallter's Hat not triggering Tail limb visual adjusted (they should more properly sit behind head limb) Link on title screen now goes to my website's homepage
- 1.0.04 Patch Notes - 29 September 2025
Hi everyone! I've made some quality of life changes and small fixes over the weekend! Challenge Runs now unlock properly without restarting the game Fixed Final Boss encounter in Endless Mode Details adjusted on Power Pickle, Tail Description, and Week 8 unlock Okay, this last fix is embarrassing to admit: There was a secret surprise moment in the game where I thought it was very funny and very edgy to call Application.Quit. The number of people that reported this to me as a crash was staggering. I even tried asking "Have you tried turning it off and on again" but they just got more angry with me. So now this moment just returns you to the main menu.
- TORSO TENNIS is Launching in One Week! - 17 September 2025
TORSO TENNIS releases on steam on Wednesday September 24th! I look forward to sharing the full game with you all at 11am Eastern US time!I've been hard at work on this game over the last year and a half. What started as a small goofy idea in Global Game Jam and has morphed into something I am really proud of. I initially had planned to release the game last summer summer but kept having new ideas and ways I wanted to expand the game. Having the community involved, playing the demo, and suggesting ways the game could be better was really beneficial. I hope to continue developing games this way in the future.The demo will remain available to play on itch.io: https://toomuchtomato.itch.io/Thank you so much for coming along for the journey and I'll see you on launch day!

New Limbs: Skull, Bone, Broom, and Tentacle allow you to leave RIPs on the court - literal holes in the fabric of reality. These RIPs serve as weak points where you can direct tennis balls to INSTA-SCORE on your opponent. New Boss Jim Coach will challenge you to hit weak points and barrage you with critter attacks. To top it all off, sport the new fashionable Rib Cage TORSO while you make your way through the demo! Tune in to the…
