Newest update: The Responsive Reckoning (2026-09-15)
- Your phone now automatically fits the battle to your screen — no more fiddling with layout settings mid-combat.
- Landscape and portrait modes snap to your device without you having to manually resize anything.
Earlier update: Menu Cleanup (2026-09-15)
- The Purse and Market now stay on the title screen where they belong — no more lingering UI ghosts interrupting gameplay.
- Dye Shop and Spoin Purse menus no longer lock the cursor in place after you close them.
Earlier update: Manstrosities Update (2026-09-15)
- Automatic phone fitting for portrait and landscape: menus, HUD and panels adjust on rotation without using the Size button or changing your saved desktop scale. Improved touch targets and safe-area spacing. The spoin purse starts closed on rejoin, and its close button stays visible while scrolling.
Earlier update: The Outlands Breach (2026-08-23)
- A new realm opens beyond the arena: the Outlands, a vast wasteland of dead forests, alien creatures, and the wreckage of a ship that carried the Nevermen to shore.
- Harvest resources from the land—fossilwood, bloodglass, glowsap, and sinew—to craft new tools and materials at the forge tollhouse.
- Encounter the Nevermen, a peaceful race of builders and traders who've established settlements across the shore and tend their herds of striding beasts.
- Explore the Standing Dead, a petrified forest of colossal stone trunks, and venture into the Pale Flats where ancient human ruins and towering landmarks pierce the dust.
- A living world awaits: plantimals hunt and root, quests unfold through the settlements, and the Outlands' heart beats with its own rhythm separate from the arena's endless waves.
Earlier update: The Binder's Market (2026-07-25)
- Buy dyes, brands, charms, and blessings at three fallen monuments scattered across the badlands — each rite-stone unlocks a different power.
- Equip a relic charm to boost your pickup range, shard speed, or elemental cling — worn visibly on your hip as a glowing shard cage.
- Brand your tamed beasts with Ravage, Loper, or Gorger to multiply their damage, speed, or growth — each brand glows with a seared rune.
- Plant a ward banner to buff all your tamed beasts inside its ember aura — the grim standard stands until the run ends.
- Burn a blessing at a monument to unlock a run-wide surge: Waking Wrath multiplies your damage early, Memory raises your starting level, or Oath speeds your first three binds.

A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@badgerblunts/manstrosities@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.
The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @badgerblunts/manstrosities; where, players and leave read and end it.
