Long time no see! We one hot and ready for you guys. New Goos, new Game Mode, Balance updates and more!

Desert Goos

We have a hot new group of 5 summer goos! They come straight from the desert. Summer was the last season we didn't have a group of goos for, so we decided it was their time to have fun in the sun! Fire goos have been neglected for awhile so we decided to give them some more options with our first new goo Firble:


Firble introduces a new mechanic of "burn" it will stack and do damage over time whenever that goo attacks! Another new goo that uses that is Singe.

Singe is gotten when have 3 or more fire goos on your team and will burn away the attack of your enemy!

Speaking of Attack we also have Rigor! The Rigor Mortis Tortoise. He doesn't have Health at all! As he is already undead! Instead he takes damage to ATK and has a hearty shield on top of that.

Rounding out the squad we also have Cassi the Cactus who is a great early support cactus giving everyone on the team +1 ATK per turn, and lastly Diablo, master of Summons! Diablo gives any summoned goo extra starting ATK when they are summoned.

I'm super excited to see what you all come up with and how to use these guys in your goo teams.

Casual Mode

We have added a new gamemode! One of the biggest feedback points of the game is that it can be BRUTAL for new players, as such we have added a "casual" game mode that you can select when starting a run. In Casual you will be matched with other "casual" teams and be allowed to lose 5 times instead of the usual 3! This will give you more time to develop and tweak some wild goo strategies.

Other new things

We have fixed a ton of bugs this update, as well as added some other things due to community feedback.

Such as a DinoNug & Novelty icon, and a New background to fit our Desert Goos.

We have also renamed some Goos to have a slightly more 'goo' vibe to them such as Golem is now Goolem, but I won't spoil all our new puns here ;)

Final thoughts

As always thank you everyone for continuing to goo up the Arena! As always please let us know what you think here on Steam via the forums or a review, OR in our Discord. We have a lot more GOOdies planned as updates for the rest of the year! Good luck in the Arena.
