We’re back!
We took a little break over the summer, recharged our batteries, and promised that Update 1.2 would arrive in September.
Well... almost.
At least we didn’t come back empty-handed.
A brand-new lobby, public servers, lightning, and of course, Worm Artillery - welcome to Update 1.2!
What’s new?
New Lobby
Public and Private Servers
Worm Artillery
Lightning
New Mushroom Seeds and Textures
New Achievements
🏠 NEW LOBBY
Before heading into the forest, mushrooms can now gather together in a brand-new lobby.
Wait for everyone to arrive, test your microphone, adjust other players’ volume, and get ready for the game.
Because sometimes even mushrooms need to get themselves together first.
🌐 NEW MECHANIC #1 - PUBLIC SERVERS
Ran out of friends? Not a problem anymore.
Create a public server or join a bunch of complete mushroom strangers.
Will they become your new best friends or the reason you press Mute?
We have no idea.
You can play publicly, with friends only, or create a private game protected by a code.
🪱 NEW MECHANIC #2 - WORM ARTILLERY
Enough carrying worms around inside you.
Now you can shoot them.
At friends.
At strangers.
At people who deserve it.
Launch worms one at a time or unleash a proper mushroom volley.
Sometimes the artillery can even be useful - for example, you can use it to save a friend from Grandpa.
And if you hit Grandpa with enough worms, you can knock him down.
Just don’t celebrate too early.
He might lie there for a while, think about his life choices, and then get back up in Berserk Mode.
So if Grandpa goes down, this might actually be a good time to start worrying.
⚡ NEW MECHANIC #3 - LIGHTNING
Rain is no longer just rain.
Talk for too long during a thunderstorm and nature might politely ask you to shut up for a moment.
Very politely.
After a lightning strike, the ground remains electrified for a while, so watch where you grow.
And yes - sometimes lightning can completely miss.
Hit nobody.
Achieve nothing.
Just make a lot of noise.
Lightning has bad days too.

In Update 1.2, mushrooms have finally learned how to gather in lobbies, meet strangers, shoot worms, and get struck by lightning.
Worm Artillery is officially open for business.
Evolution is progressing more or less exactly as expected.
We’re back. Thanks for waiting for us. ❤️
And a special thank you to the 10,000+ mushrooms who have already visited our forest.
See you in the forest! 🌲🍄
