• SHRIMP GAME: OVERKRILL is part of SOUL SALE 2026 - 17 September 2026

  Hello SHRIMP nationAs some of you recall, IronPineapple featured SHRIMP GAME earlier this year, and as a souls youtuber, I think that automatically qualifies SHRIMP GAME as at least an honorary souls-like video game. It does indeed a lot of world motifs from Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 with its dying world, eccentric NPCs, and hub system...SOUL SALE 2026Anyway SHRIMP bros, stay tuned for an update to our roadmap, and join the discord if you wanna get in on next week's PVP night!Consider leaving a review if you've enjoyed the game. Later krillers

• Patch 1.11 - 14 September 2026

  Fixing some bugs for co-op games on the new difficulty settings that came to light over the weekend. I hope you all are enjoying the non-shrimple difficulty modes! Remember to leave a review if you're liking the game. Codspeed shrimp bros

• KRILLER and OVERKRILL difficulty modes! - 11 September 2026

  Greetings SHRIMP pilots As promised, 1.1 pushes new difficulty settings for Campaign and Co-op Campaign modes (death penalties only count in a dungeon, not in the hub): Shrimple Mode - the standard campaign difficulty that everyone is familiar with at this point. Only punishment for dying is -25 SPKRILLER Mode - Lose 50 SP on death and have 3 chances to defeat the boss before the fight resets. Double the SP reward on extraction and double SP and Gems for selling SHRIMP at the end*. Connected players are sent to purgatory until a reset on death.OVERKRILL Mode - Reset a dungeon after 1 death, or if in a boss fight, reset the boss fight after 1 death. 4x the normal SP rewards on extraction and 4x the SP and Gem gain for selling SHRIMP at the end*. Connected players are sent to purgatory until a reset on death. OVERKRILL Mode only unlocks for those who have cleared KRILLER Mode first!*Note:…

• Patch 1.08 - 6 September 2026

  Increased PvP melee ability damage Fixed light seekers with Feelsy's cooldown reduction ability Moved Wind portal post-clear location in The Backwaters to the top of the mirror puzzle Increased Earth F ability added armor Increased Wind Twister's suction pull a bit And a bunch of other bug fixes and tweaks. Stay tuned for hard mode updates shrimpers! Remember to leave a review if you like the game! Thanks bros

• Patch 1.06 - 4 September 2026

  Major change for this patch: You are still prompted with upgrades past level SHRIMP cap now! These stat upgrades are more marginal and are not purely additive like normal levelling upgrades and thus provide you with an option to "pass" on upgrading entirely, for example: +2 Speed -2 Trajectory / +3 Firepower -3 Body / PASS Other changes include small bug fixes and rebalancing. Note: I am currently aware of a HUD bug when picking up Exotic weapons of different rarities. Working on it! Next week will have me switch focus to implementing harder difficulties. Stay strong shrimpers!

• Patch 1.05 - De-shrimplifying combat Stage 3 - 2 September 2026

  Greetings ShrimpersSHRIMP abilities are now manually activated whenever you like while off cooldown*. These abilities are on 55 second cooldowns in campaign due to their power, and around 30 second cooldowns in PvP. They are on cooldown by default when you spawn, encouraging you to stay alive longer.*note: Shrimple Steve and Feely's SHRIMP abilities still need to be triggered under certain conditions, like hovering over a weapon drop or having your RMB on cooldown respectively.I'm making this change as I saw some players were wishing for "another button to press" to make things more interesting during combat. I also noticed many players would ignore these abilities all together / be confused by them when they proc'd passively. This change aims to remedy that!You'll be prompted when the ability comes off cooldown, and prompted with more emphasis when the game thinks it's a good time to a…

• Patch 1.04 - De-shrimplifying combat Stage 2 - 1 September 2026

  As some hardcore krillers know, SHRIMP GAME started as a PvP only game, and as such the stats were originally balanced for quick frenetic ~10 minute games.Things have changed. SHRIMP world will never be the same.I have pushed an update to make all stats scale harder with new coefficients, meaning they should now be more discernable (with the exception of Firerate, Armor, and Acuity because they were fine).For example: Upgrading to max Speed now makes you about twice as fast as a base SHRIMP. Zaggy players who love to dodge roll can now cover greater distances while mashing SHIFT. Beaky players can get higher than ever before. You get the gist!The changes aren't extreme; you won't be able to make truly broken builds (yet (hint)) with stat upgrades alone, but things should feel a bit more noticeable while leveling your SHRIMPs to max.Next patch I'll be taking a look at making racial passi…

• Patch 1.03 - De-shrimplifying combat Stage 1 - 30 August 2026

  Hey SHRIMP nationThank you for all your support!Over the coming weeks, I'm going to be slowly making changes to make combat feel more dynamic.Many players haven't been utilizing the Weapon Shrines (the puzzle in Sunken Polis and the Backwaters where you use pearls to make exotic powerful weapons) as I intended, so today I'm releasing a patch where:Minibosses now drop Exotic WeaponsMinibosses and sometimes other objectives now drop Exotic Weapon types like Mines, Carpet Bomb, Musket shot, Pancake shot, Seeker shot, etc. that you could otherwise create in Weapon Shrines. These weapons overheat from repeated use and have their own cooldowns due to their power. It should make gameplay more interesting! Note: These Exotic Weapon drops are of a lower rarity than the ones that are created in Weapon Shrines (their stats will be roughly on par with red-tier weapons). We can call them "Imperfect"…

• Announcing Hardcore Campaign mode and Patch 1.02 - 28 August 2026

  Hi SHRIMP nationI hope you're enjoying the game! Reception has been great and overall I'm happy with how things are turning out. However, I've been seeing some talk about how the game's campaign is about too shrimple... I'm gonna start working on a hard mode for the campaign. I'll likely title the pre-existing campaign difficulty "shrimple mode" and the hard mode "kriller mode". It'll offer increased SP and gem bonuses on completion (probably 2-3x), and just offer a harder challenge overall with limited lives and higher stakes. If you want, there's a discussion board post where you can share ideas for the mode. I hope to deploy it sometime next month. For now, here's some changes and bug fixes for 1.02: Hopefully fixed some of the graphical issues AMD users have been experiencingTrying to implement something on hit detection issues some have in PvPIncreased passive ult regen rate in cam…
