- Price reduction: Ash & Adam's GOBSMACKED is now $5 FOREVER - 7 December 2025
Hey Goblins, Today is the anniversary of the start of our collaboration and we wanted to mark the day with a special announcement that we’re both very excited about: we’re permanently dropping the price of Gobsmacked to $5. It won’t go on sale again. The price is $5, always and forever. Here's a video about it. Or just keep reading. Such options!This is the result of a change in our thinking about how we price our games writ large. There are very smart people out there with very well-reasoned ideas about how to make money in games. About how to capture and keep players’ attention. About how to A/B the perfect marketing message. About how to design mechanics themselves that produce profitable outcomes. But that’s not us. And many of those people might say we’re idiots for not doing that stuff. Okay, fine, we’re idiots. But neither of us want to spend any of the sand in our mortal hourgla…

- GOBSMACKED is Here! - 23 October 2024
Hey Goblins, Today GOBSMACKED is moving from Early Access to 1.0. We've spent the last few months in EA refining almost every part of the game, listening to player feedback in our Discord and adding a brand new game mode: The Gauntlet. The Gauntlet is part of the underground Gob-scene where you don't use currency to upgrade gear but the pace is much higher. Maximizing your reputation is the ultimate goal. The Gauntlet is available after you've achieved victory in The Arenas. As we fully release the game today, we'd like to send extra thanks & hugs to everyone that helps us make Gobsmacked. Our collaborators, playtesters and players who've joined the Discord to share their thoughts and kind words about the game. We hope you have as much fun playing GOBSMACKED as we had making this little game.

Added signs to help newer gladiators find their way to the arena shop. Fixed a bug with some wrecks registering as "Throw Wreck" incorrectly. Fixed some crowd pleasers not working as expected.
- Demo Updated - 18 April 2024
Hey goblins, we've cooked up a demo update for your chaotic claws. Support for Chinese (simplified) Grabbing walls now required an explicit key press (hold Shift). This fixed getting unintentionally "stuck" to walls. Refined ledge jump, now only occurs if you're holding forward and press Jump near a ledge. The crowd is more eager to throw you health. We've made the gold rush timer bigger, so it's easier for all goblin's eyeballs. We've fixed some issues with climbing through walls in the tutorial. More from us soon... Happy goblin-ing!
