Released 2026-08-19. 13 updates since release, the newest 2026-09-04.
Newest update: Blood Pool Cleanup (2026-09-04)
- The blood-pool manager has been removed — impact effects now run without a central coordinator.
- Guard flashes and hit sparks now calculate and display independently, keeping the fight crisp and responsive.
- The HUD now reads fighter state directly instead of mirroring data onto each fighter's bag, cutting network overhead and reducing sync lag in versus matches.
- V.S. matches now use room truth to detect when an opponent has actually left, preventing false timeouts when the relay is slow.
Earlier update: The Bones Update (2026-09-04)
- Fighters' bones now render locally on your screen instead of clogging the network—cleaner, faster, and no more mixed-up clothes between players.
- Player-versus-player matches now sync perfectly: each fighter's body is built from their actual state, not from a lagged copy of bones.
- The blood, sparks, and guard flashes now announce themselves through the network instead of writing directly to the pool—hit effects stay sharp and responsive.
Earlier update: The Bolt Overhaul (2026-08-28)
- Fireballs are now drawn sprites with pixel-perfect trails instead of plain spheres — they read as actual fire now.
- Hit impacts flash a glowing red star that snaps open and fades, replacing the old spark system.
- Guard blocks now trigger a white particle bloom that puffs out from the gloves, giving blocking real feedback.
- Blood splatters are brighter and more saturated — arterial red that reads against the arena instead of muddy brown.
- The stick fighter's headband is gone so his face reads clearly in the ring.
Earlier update: The Authority Fix (2026-08-25)
- Fireballs now hit fairly — damage applies on the defender's client, not the thrower's, ending cross-authority exploits.
- Private rings now spawn with a proper arena backdrop instead of a broken empty stage.
- Fighter portraits refresh correctly when their outfit changes mid-match.
Earlier update: Versus Restored (2026-08-22)
- Challenge other players to one-on-one fights and pick the arena together before you battle.
- Matches now happen in private instanced arenas so multiple fights can run at once without interference.
- Customization items that were removed are no longer offered in the wardrobe if your old gear list still names them.
- Fighters are now drawn with ink outlines so limbs stay visible and readable in the flat stick-rig style.
- The stickman puppet body is live — a new skeletal animation system that bakes poses instead of playing clips.
What players say
@makeriffic · 2026-09-05 · played 1 hr 33 min · 1 heart: “Played it again with the new updates. I just found out the the fireballs are removed right? It is better without it IMO, and did the difficulty increased? I have tried playing again starting from the first level with Wren and I would say that it felt difficult to beat him. I haven't tried multipalyer yet and I bet it is so much fun. Keep it up!”
@jeon · 2026-09-04 · played 17 min · 1 heart: “Game was cool bro, the blood effect is sick 😂 and the movement looks really clean. I think it would be nice to have some combos you can learn or different attacks for each class so it doesnt feel repetitive when creating a character. Love the game, great work there!”

- @larrielabs replied 2026-08-31: “Cleared the game! That was fun! 😆 I was a little sad to see that the fireball was removed before I got to try it, but I really liked the little side note about the updates! I don’t see that in most games, so it was a nice touch. ✨”
- @lazydev (maker) replied 2026-09-02: “fireball was kind of ruining the game so had to be removed, winning now proves you are a real champion!”
