- Achievements - 17 September 2026
Hello all,I got achievements done today, so they will be a part of the full game. There are a few with pretty straightforward conditions: Level CompletionThese achievements are received upon the completion of a level. This, of course, includes the hardest level in the game - the tutorial clan. In a technical sense, they are awarded when you defeat a boss and the level ends; this means editing your save file will not give you this achievement. Five Digit ScoreThese achievements are received upon completing a level with a five digit (or higher, though I'm not sure if that's actually possible) score. Roughly speaking, this is close to sustaining a combo across an entire level excluding the boss, though I've found there's a bit of leeway in my test runs. The tutorial clan isn't included because they are too strong. Like the level completion achievements, they are awarded after the defeat of…

- Even Better May Demo Released - 14 May 2026
Hello, folks! After collecting feedback, we've released an even better May Demo, containing several changes to gameplay and visuals. These include:Freezing time is less flashbang-ey; the freeze time effect is now a fade in/out rather than a hard cut.Checkerboard backgrounds have been added to each level, hopefully slightly de-flashbanging the freeze time effect alongside the fade.Basic melee attacks now move you slightly forward.Slides start off a bit faster.Ending a sprint is a bit less slippery.Each 6x combo gives you an extra time freeze.Difficulty settings are available upon starting a new save - these allow you to set a multiplier for damage taken and decide how many time freezes you start with each level.The Raccoon Clan now only takes 1 point of damage each time they're ejected from a dumpster.Moving down a platform is now a single button press instead of two - crouching is a sep…

We also have a new trailer for the game to go along with it:In addition, we are excited to announce the DUCK CLAN, who use their fountains to take flight!
