Hello everyone! Our new Captain ToonHead update comes with many fixes for our Survival Mode, as well as some improvements regarding UX/UI elements. Let’s go over each of the new changes this update brings, starting with the Survival Mode.
Survival Mode Changes:
Fixed broken paths and seeds that created unfair situations for players.
The first wave of the second sector will always spawn from the second sector gate. Changes between sectors will be introduced in the next cycle.
Improved UI/UX elements to provide clearer instructions on how to change sectors.
Queen Dio will now split its damage between the hot sauce beams instead of causing full damage for each individual beam.
Fixed accuracy calculation issues.
Toonret perks will be unlocked once the player unlocks the Toonride in the story campaign.
Fixed issues in the scoring system where it wasn’t resetting properly between game sessions or cycles.
Survival Mode Leaderboard Full Reset **
Other changes:
Leaderboards will now appear in the Arcade Room, allowing you to see your high score and position from the outside.
Fixes and improvements in UI and UX.
New animation and effects for the Arcade Room gift.
**About the Leaderboard full reset:
After further exploration of the balancing of the Survival Mode and the game calculations of the scoring system, we discovered some inconsistencies that needed to be fixed, and this new update resolves them. As a result of this fix, it is unlikely for new scores to surpass the scores currently listed in the leaderboard. We thought it would be unfair for new and returning players to compete against scores that they may not be able to beat. To level the playing field and avoid frustration, we have decided to perform a full reset of the leaderboards.
You can find a copy of the pre-reset leaderboard in our Captain ToonHead Discord Server. We believe it's important to preserve the results of the amazing effort everyone put into it, and those scores will always be available in our Discord (and our hearts). Additionally, for those who went the extra mile to achieve incredible scores, those who devoted hours to being the best at VR butt-kicking, we wanted to let you know that you are awesome! As a token of appreciation, we have prepared a small reward for you. Check it out in the Arcade Room next to the Survival Mode door.
We can’t wait to see you all back up there on the leaderboards! With these new changes, new challenges await you in the Survival Mode. Remember to use combos to your advantage and try as many Toonret combinations as you can. We would love to hear about your strategies on our Discord server.
The Survival Mode Update: NEW Endless Roguelike action to Captain ToonHead
The Survival Mode Update Trailer
If you have been to the Arcade Room in the MissionShip, you probably saw a door with the message “KEEP OUT JANINE, Nothing to see here, definitely not hacking this!” Well, it turns out Elliott was indeed hacking that, transforming the W.T.F.'s VR COMBAT SIMULATOR into the brand new VR BUTT-KICKING SIMULATOR. Unlocking the new survival mode for us players, or if you will, other Captain ToonHeads from different dimensions (Oh yes, the ToonHead-Verse is real)
The Survival Mode
Once the match begins, you'll start with a basic weapon layout, leaving behind all those fancy upgrades from the Tech Tree. We're giving you a clean slate, and if you want your updates back, you will need to earn them by protecting your EnerCubes.
Prepare for the Captain ToonHead gameplay experience, but this time in a procedurally generated level (More on that later). At the start, you will face off only one path full of enemy P.U.N.K.s. Every action you make will earn you a chunk of score, with extra rewards for combos and score multipliers. You will have 12 lives and you will lose a life each time an enemy P.U.N.K. kidnaps one of your cute little holographic EnerCubes (The EnerCubes might be fake but the disappointment is real)
But if you emerge victorious and defeat the enemy waves (cue the fireworks!), you'll be teleported to a cozy "rest area" where you can use your collected EnerCubes on a selection of nifty upgrades. But here's the kicker: these EnerCubes and upgrades won't count outside the match. It's like a magical bubble that keeps the awesomeness contained within the Survival mode. Once you’re ready, it's time to buckle up and face the next challenge! Brace yourselves, each level will push you further with tougher enemies, variations, and more surprises.
Procedurally Generated Levels
We're taking randomness to a whole new level, folks! With each triumphant wave clear, a fresh enemy gate and path pops up in the sector. When a sector manages to sprout three enemy gates, it births a shiny new sector with one enemy gate. And guess what? The new sector follows the same rule of spawning enemy gates. It's an endless cycle of gate-generating p.u.n.k.-fighting fun!
Oh, did we mention that every day brings a brand new procedurally generated level? So, if you play on the same day, you'll get the same level (go ahead, practice your heart out), but the next day, voila! A whole new challenge awaits you. We like to keep things fresh around here!
New Enemies Await!
Hold on to your hats, ToonHeads, because we've cooked up some seriously outrageous adversaries for you! Prepare to face off against the brand new giant Cyber-Chicken and the colossal flying Cat. But wait, there's more! We thought we'd add some extra flavor by giving enemies different color variations. If you see blue enemies it means they will burst into even more foes when you take them down. Yellow enemies, on the other hand, are speed demons, while red enemies are made of sturdier stuff, boasting increased health. Brace yourselves for the ultimate challenge when you encounter the enigmatic Rainbow enemies—they're practically invincible! (But just for a while, you'll have your chance to defeat them, don´t worry)
C-C-C-Combo System!
Get ready to dive into our captivating combo system, where every action you take earns valuable Score Points (SP), but it's during those thrilling combos that the real magic happens. Multiply your SP based on your combo grade, while accumulating Combo Points (CP) to ascend through the ranks. From the modest D to the impressive A, and reaching the coveted S and SS levels, each grade unlocks higher SP multipliers. During a combo, you will be constantly losing CP at a specific rate so its your job to keep executing actions that will keep it up and raise the score. Create a mesmerizing symphony of combos that will leave competitors in awe.
Online Leaderboard
What's a tower defense showdown without a little friendly competition? That's right, folks—your final score will be showcased on our global leaderboards where you can see your spot against other players. It's time to prove your mettle and show the world who's the true Captain ToonHead champion! Compete with other players for the highest score and bask in the glory of victory.

The Whack-A-Chicken Arcade Game IS HERE!
We have been asked many questions about Captain ToonHead: How does Elliott Salazar eat? What’s behind the door at the end of the hall? Why did the Cyber-C.H.I.C.K.E.N cross the road?
Well, today we will be answering the second question.
Arcade Room
Behind the hall door you will find the brand new Arcade Room. Originally the Spaceship’s gym until Elliott decided he needed something a little more challenging (Or an easy excuse for not getting ripped). In this new Arcade Room you will find empty pizza boxes, lava lamps on the ceiling - of course- and a reinvention of a classic arcade game with a twist…
Whack-A-Chicken
The Whack-A-Chicken arcade game consists of different Cyber-C.H.I.C.K.E.N.s you’ll need to hit in order to earn more points and time. If you happen to run out of time or you hit 3 or more EnerCubes (We hope by accident) you will lose the game.
Gameplay
Depending on their color, each Chicken will give you different bonuses:
Blue Chicken: Gives you +100 points and +0.3 seconds
Green Chicken: Faster than the others. It will give you +300 points and +0.4 seconds
Pink Chicken: Requires 2 Hits and it gives you +500 points and +0.7 seconds
Orange Chicken: Requires 4 Hits and it gives you +800 points and +1.0 second
Bomb Chicken: It will blast their immediate surroundings. It causes a chain reaction with other bombs. It gives you +800 points
Yellow EnerCubes: Some yellow, some blue. They subtract 3 seconds of the timer. If you hit or explode 3 or more of them you will lose.
Blue EnerCubes: They subtract 3 seconds of the timer. These are faster than Yellow EnerCubes, and a little bit sadder. If you hit or explode 3 or more of them you will lose.
Online Leaderboard
And since I know some of you don’t only play for fun but also play to WIN and BE THE BEST, we implemented a global leaderboard so you can compete for the highest score against your friends or simply EVERYONE IN THE WORLD playing the Whack-A-Chicken. Or you can just compete against yourself and try and be your better version with the best score.
Enter the brand new Arcade Room and become the Whack-A-Chicken Master. You will first have to unlock it but to do so you’ll just have to… Well go to the Arcade Room and find out. You’ll know what to do.
We will be seeing you soon with another huge update.
You know what we are talking about…
Hats & Poses Update!
HATS & POSES UPDATE TRAILER
UPDATE OVERVIEW!
What? Hats AND Poses? In Captain ToonHead?
WELL THAT’S RIGHT!
The Hats & Poses Update introduces a new customization system for your personal HomeShip that allows you to choose between more than 50 different absurdly shaped things to put on top of your beloved skeleton friends. And I know you might be thinking “Wow, It’s a bit weird putting funny hats on top of my now dead coworkers” And, we get it. That’s why you would be able to change them up with new POSES to make you forget they are even dead!
UNLOCK YOUR HATS & POSES
After the customization system is activated, you will be able to point and select between many Poses for the skeletons in the ship and the cardboard Captain ToonHead, as well as over 50 hats for the B.S. Team skeletons. Each Pose and Hat will be unlocked once you defeat it’s secret challenge. You can go through the different unlocked items to get a hint for the action required for it to unlock.
If you have already played or even completed the main story of Captain ToonHead, when you update and go back to the game you will found many items unlocked according to your progress, but many others will remain locked until you defeat its secret challenge. Every time you unlock a new item you will get a notification in-game, and at your HomeShip, the new items will have an alert symbol so you know you have new customization items available.
So what are you waiting for? There are 90 customization items ready for you to unlock them! If you have just started playing or if you are a Captain ToonHead veteran, it’s time to go back to the frontlines and fight for those new freshly made Hats and Poses. If you want to show off your progress or if you need any help with the challenges, you can share it on our Discord server
Unlock All Your Hats & Poses NOW!
