- To the attention of players - 23 October 2025
Hello everyone,We're writing these few lines to inform you of something.Some of you may have noticed, but achievements are now visible on the game page.

- New direction, new goals - 5 April 2025
Hello everyone, We previously shared a roadmap for the upcoming version 1.4 of the game. However, after several meetings, we decided to change our plans. As we progressed through the different tasks, several observations emerged: The game's identity was not distinct enough. The visual aspect of the game, both in terms of effects and UI, could be improved. The dynamics of matches could be enhanced to increase immersion and maximize the enjoyment of each game. We initially did everything to bring the game to a level we were satisfied with at launch, but now we want more. We want to push the quality, immersion, and accessibility of various aspects of the game even further. To achieve our goals, we had to make a decision: continue introducing elements one by one as originally planned, risking constant back-and-forth adjustments with every new change, or work deeply on every aspect of the ga…
- Roadmap 1.4 - 11 December 2024
Hello everyone! To give you some visibility, we have created a roadmap for update 1.4 which will arrive in 2025.

Thank you for taking the time to read this announcement. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please let us know on our Discord or discussion forums. Waiju
- Hotfix 1.3.2 - 5 November 2024
Hello everyone, Following update 1.3, some bugs crept into the code. I did my best to correct them, here is the list: - Fix] During a team game and when selecting magic, the player whose turn it was not cannot navigate through the magic proposal. This is now fixed. - Fix] During a game in free positioning and when selecting magic, if the player whose turn it was not to play selected his magic then he found himself in aiming mode without power get out. This is now fixed. - Fix] After a game, certain settings were not replicated correctly to other players in the lobby. This is now fixed - Fix] When accepting an invitation, players who had not completed the tutorial and refused to do so when the validation window appeared found themselves stuck in an infinite loading screen. This is now fixed. There is still a small problem which will systematically display the tutorial confirmation window…

- Update 1.2 - Shoot & Point - 20 September 2024
Hello everyone, Here's what you can find in this update: Throw mode - Added] New throwing mode: Point! With its bell curve, this shooting mode should allow you to get behind the obstacles left by your opponents. Nothing can stop you. - Modification] New interface for throwing modes. We have reworked the throw mode interface to make it quicker to identify which fire mode you are using. It is also much prettier(in our opinion). - Modification] Renamed throwing modes. Direct becomes Shoot and Curved becomes Normal. In game - Modification] Reduced ball bounce. The balls should behave more logically on gravel and grass, no need to ignore these two terrains. - Fix] Fixed display of team partner information. The activation button for your magic was displayed over your partner's magic, this is no longer the case. - Fix] There could be a difference between clients and the server in the distances…
