- PALS - Update v1.4.2.4 | New Game Mode: Little Pals! - 14 June 2026
Hello everyone!A brand new game mode is here! Little Pals brings a fresh twist on hide & seek — this time the Pals don't disguise as objects, they shrink down and scramble to hide anywhere they can fit. Catch them all before the clock runs out! Little PalsOne player becomes the Hunter. Everyone else shrinks into tiny Little Pals and scatters to hide. The catch? Every Pal who gets caught respawns as a Hunter and joins the chase — so the hunting pack grows fast. The Pals just have to survive until the timer hits zero. | The Hunter |You stay full-sized and come armed:MAC-10, Remington 870 and the L118A1 — pick your tool for the job.A Radar that helps you sniff out shrunken Pals hiding nearby — the closer they are, the faster it beeps.Search every corner. The Pals are small and very easy to miss. | The Hider |When the round begins you shrink down and have to run and hide — fast. You can't f…
- PALS - Update v1.4.1.8 | Vehicle Update & Bug Fixes - 21 May 2026
Hello everyone!v1.4.1.8 update is live! This patch brings 23 new vehicles, rewritten vehicle physics, and various bug fixes. New VehiclesCompared to the previous version, there are now multiple vehicles, each with different behaviors and driving styles. I'm still working on player-to-player Interpolation. Minor jitters and small stutters on other players are entirely due to the game engine's physics. :/ New MapA map where you can drive vehicles and race with your friends! This map is currently accessible from Sandbox mode. I'm thinking of a game mode for racing. However, for fair gameplay, a switch to a server-side vehicle system may be considered.Developer AccountsTo prevent potential scams from people introducing themselves as the developer in-game, we've added a label in the pause menu indicating they are a developer. The word Developer will appear in blue next to these people. I nor…

- PALS Will Be Free-To-Play Soon! - 24 April 2026
It's time for a big change at PALS!PALS has been available as a pay-to-play game for some time now. As a result, the player base was in pretty bad shape.

- Welcome To PALS! - 22 February 2026
Hello gamers, I'm RyTiex, the developer of PALS. I'm a game developer who has been working in the game development field for many years. PALS is my first game. Perhaps this game is just a product or entertainment program for you, but for me, it is my dream and the beginning of a great adventure. For me, it is more than just a game; it is a dream. My first development process began in my childhood by creating add-ons for Counter-Strike. I then continued with GMod, Minecraft, and similar games. One day, my dad, who used to be a gamer like me, asked a question that started this adventure:"Can you make a game?" This sparked a curiosity in me. Could I really do it? And in November 2017, I embarked on this journey and dedicated myself to improving throughout the entire process. It wasn't just about money. It was about fulfilling the dream of the child inside me. This game will not be abandone…
