- tiny fix for a bug. - 19 August 2026
Fix for pirate bombard ships not firing.
- Tower fix and balance update - 17 August 2026
Fixed an issue where bomb towers would not stop firing. Fixed an issue where more towers than expected would spawn during the Tour of Africa Significantly increased the pause time before pirates chase you again after a Pirate attack. Players like a little more time to recover.

Framerate options! You can now set your framerate cap or uncap it! Significantly increased the items spawning in the Africa map. More toys! Reduced the sound alert radius of items. Various other bug and stability fixes.
- Update - softer sand and clearer safari difficulty info. - 7 August 2026
Reduced beetle slap damage to ball again. Wow. Players sure love to smack the ball around. We're trying to make it a more forgiving strategy. You be you. NEW UI for Beetle Burst! Beetle Burst is an INCREDIBLY POWERFUL ability that gives you increased speed, strength, pushing power, and ball control! new UI should make it easier to track when it's recharged. Added CHALLENGE info to the ticket selection so it's more clear what you are in for! If it says "hard", you better believe it! Sand doesn't damage the ball anymore. Too much nuance. Added it to our "smooth grounds". REMINDER: smooth ground - doesn't hurt rough ground - HURTS water - DESTROYS
- Hotfix and Balance update - 5 August 2026
Fix for clients not seeing their faces in the cosmetics menu. General balance tuning: Ball is a little easier to control Hitting the ball is a little less damaging (BUT IT STILL HURTS THE BALL! Don't slap the ball too much!) Pirates have a longer pause between waves when attacking. More dung piles are spawning in the wild! Heal up!
- Moonrise Update! - 1 August 2026
Moonrise level major update! By popular demand, we have added CHECKPOINTS to the Moonrise level! It's still a major challenge, but now your progress is saved. Moon gates are now working correctly. Updated VFX and other improvements. Fixed an issue with pirate attacks not ending correctly. Upgraded strange meteor to last longer and be more powerful. More pirate tuning - Reduced pirate aggression to give the player some more breathing room.
- 7 29 2026 patch - 29 July 2026
Unlocked achievements should now retroactively unlock in Steam Balance tuning - Pirates are slightly less aggressive Added "how to play" help screen in tent for newer players. Made sound feedback for ball rolling damage clearer. If it boops, you're taking damage!
