📓 Patch Notes
a running confession of everything we've changed and broken.
Featurev1.2.0 — Pull Up a Chair (The Gallery)June 8, 2026 - 👁 SPECTATE: don't feel like dying today? In the lobby, hit “Spectate & bet instead” to sit the whole run out. You never take the field, you never get culled — you just watch the little blobs suffer in peace.
- 🎰 THE GALLERY: spectating isn't free entertainment, it's a casino. Bet your real saved Marbles on who you think wins it all and pocket the winnings — odds scale with the field (call it from a crowd of five and it pays 5×), settled the instant a champion is crowned.
- Unlike the eliminated-player Dead Pool, the Gallery is open in BOTH Casual and Hardcore — and you're wagering your actual bank, not house chips. Win big, or watch your Marbles walk off with someone else's blob. Your pick gets boxed up mid-run? You're warned to re-bet before the finale.
- Spectators don't count toward starting a match — load the lobby with watchers and the host can still kick things off (just keep enough contestants or bot-fill on). A whole room of vultures and six bots? Now legal.
Featurev1.1.0 — Drip & The Dead PoolJune 7, 2026 - 👒 ACCESSORIES: spend your Marbles dressing your blob to die in style. Hats (beanie, baseball cap, party hat, cowboy hat, top hat, crown), eyewear (round & square glasses, cat-eye, sunglasses, aviators, round shades), neckwear (outlaw bandana, dapper bow tie), and a little something behind the ear (flowers in every color, a feather, even a banana). Buy them in the lobby under “Dress your blob.”
- Mix and match one item per slot — hat + shades + bandana + ear-flower all at once — and everyone sees your full ensemble in every game. Looking incredible offers exactly zero protection. As intended.
- ☠️ THE DEAD POOL (Hardcore only): being eliminated is no longer just spectating. Bet the Marbles you earned this run on who'll be the last blob standing and keep cashing in from the afterlife.
- Odds scale with the field: call the winner while the crowd is big and it pays big (a five-blob field pays 5×); wait for the 1v1 final and it's even money. Your pick gets boxed up? You're warned to re-bet before the finale — or kiss the wager goodbye. Settled the instant a champion is crowned.
- Bots now show up with a little random drip of their own, because of course they do.
Launchv1.0.0 — We're Live (You're In Danger)June 5, 2026 - Opened the doors to the public. Statistically, most of you will not leave through them.
- 8-player real-time lobbies, a mystery gauntlet of childhood games, and a Hall of Blobs that remembers everything you've done.
- Added Patch Notes, a Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service — because going public means lawyers exist now. We're as surprised as you.
Featurev0.9.0 — Night Mode & The FinaleMay 28, 2026 - Introduced Night Mode: random Hardcore rounds now happen in total darkness, so you can fail to see what kills you. You're welcome.
- Every gauntlet now ends on a proper finale — a last decisive round, and in Hardcore it doesn't stop until exactly one blob is left standing. Dignity, in any case, is not provided.
- Lantern 🔦 powerup added to extend your field of view, and therefore your suffering.
Balancev0.8.2 — Powerups Are Now Slightly Less of a TrapMay 19, 2026 - Rebalanced the powerup spawn table. Roughly half of them still want you dead — that's a feature, not a bug.
- Red-glow powerups now glow a more honest shade of regret.
- Bots will now occasionally walk into the bad powerups too, in the interest of fairness and comedy.
Bugfixv0.8.0 — Fixed the Thing You Were AbusingMay 9, 2026 - Patched a desync that let a small number of blobs survive Red Light, Green Light by simply… not following the rules. You know who you are.
- Fixed boxes occasionally clapping for the wrong corpse.
- Marbles now persist correctly across a series. Your hoard is safe. Your friendships are not.
