[UPDATE] Someone Gave Us Access to a Magnet

We thought the traps were getting ridiculous. Then we added a magnet.

✨ What’s New?

  • 🧲 Magnet: Pulls players toward it and holds them in place for a short time. It’s basically a very aggressive “come here.”

  • 🌳 New Map — Lumbermill: Watch your step. And the sky. Fixed saws are waiting around the map, while falling logs can suddenly turn the safest-looking path into a very bad decision.

  • 🌋 Volcano Eruption interaction: Lava balls now bubble up from the lava pool, launch into the air, and come crashing back down. Even the lava is throwing things now.

  • 🏆 Player Cards: You can now see each player’s Level and Wins. Finally, a convenient way to find out who you should probably be worried about.

🛠️ Under the Hood

A few less exciting changes that should make the game behave a little better:

  • The Laser Launcher is now smaller in the world, taking up roughly one block.

  • Improved cleanup for players who leave the session, helping prevent their score or available items from lingering in the HUD.

  • Tennis Ball Launcher eliminations now correctly award points to the player who placed the trap.

  • Shorter lobby time, because waiting is not part of the challenge.

🔮 What’s Coming

We’re working on some bigger changes behind the scenes:

  • A complete UI overhaul.

  • Visual improvements for Medium and Low graphics settings.

  • Gadgets: consumable items that give players temporary powers.

More traps, more ways to fail, and considerably more reasons to blame whoever placed the obstacle.

What should we add next?
