Time for a new EndCycle VS update!
VOCS
Kali
Inspired by the Hindu goddess of the same name this VOC will keep anyone from healing themselves! As soon as she detects someones HP going up she'll hunt them down - take away all of their healed HP and deal some extra damage to boot!
Kali always moves vertically towards its target first before honing in horizontally! You can use this to your advantage!
Here's a fun trick:
Apply a "FLIP" Style on Kali to prepare a back-up heal support in case you get hurt!
Sandstorm
Trap your enemies in a swirling vortex of sweet sweet grainy sand. It's coarse, rough, irritating, and gets everywhere: SANDSTORM!
Sandstorm is an ideal combo starter for close combat combatants as it is a passive DPS (damage per second) move.
Check this out:
Apply a "PULL" Style to your Sandstorm! This way your enemy will have a harder time escaping the storm AND you can use two Sandstorms at once in order to peel your enemies HP away!
Sandshot
Goodbye Sandhole and hello Sandshot! Bring some beach vibes to this grey season with this brand-new sand projectile!
Combined with Sandstorm your enemies better prepare a counter or else they'll have a hard time escaping your fury!
Tuger 2.0
A visual upgrade to Tuger has arrived 🐯 Rawr!
New Menu UI
Check it out! Now you can access all your favorite modes in a heartbeat!
Tutorials
We've re-vamped all tutorials and the entire first-player experience! Now newcomers will have an easier time than ever to get into the deep combat of EndCycle VS!
And that's it for this update but check in on our EndCycle VS 2.3 announcement stream this Sunday! 7PM CET over on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/12b3games
See ya soon! -Daniel and Gal
November Tournament Results
Hi everyone,
yesterday we held our monthly EndCycle VS tournament and I'm pleased to say that we have a newcomer amongst the ranks of Voxel Champs!
It's the author behind the most extensive EndCycle VS guide currently out there: Cyper Alexsi!
Long live the Voxel Champ 🏆
With his Noise packs he dominated the tournament - losing for the first time only at the finales.
Here are the thrilling final moments of the tournament. LDDestroyer played a tricky Yven but Cyper switched packs in the finale only showing of his resilient Fossil Fuel in the final matches:

Modding Jam! Join and create your own memes inside EndCycle VS!
Hello everyone and welcome to another EndCycle VS Modding Jam!
What is a modding jam? Well...
"You can create your own attacks, characters and more all without a single line of code using the in-game Toolbox!"
Your task is to create the funniest EndCycle VS Meme Mod possible in under 2 weeks!
First time creating custom mods and content in EndCycle using the toolbox? No problem! There is an in-game tutorial on how to do so which you can start by simply opening the toolbox in the Mods menu (or pressing F1)!
The theme is: MEMES
Low-quality shitpost? A character consisting of only one sprite? Game-breaking VOC that only people from the EndCycle discord will understand?
If you can name it, you can meme it! Create a mod full of memes within the next two weeks and upload it on the Itch.IO page here: https://itch.io/jam/323168/preview
You can submit your mod for the jam from the 7th July 19:00 GMT, to the 17th July 16:00 GMT!
If you don’t own the game you can still participate as part of a team!
Submit your mod with a short description in a file, where you'll detail your mod.
No NSFW mods, submitting mods with NSFW content will lead to an automatic disqualification
Pre-existing assets need to be credited inside a text file submitted alongside the game mod
Mods created before the start date cannot be used
Please submit a 30+ second video clip or trailer of your mod alongside it!
Ranking
After the deadline is over, we will be going through all the mods and playing them! The final ranking is based on:
Overall: How was the mod? Was there a lot of content? Was it fun to play?
Creativity: Does the mod add something completely new to the game? Do the creations go beyond what is thought possible with the toolbox?
Quality: This does not refer to whether it was a high-quality or low-quality shitpost, but rather how much care went into creating it!
Rewards
The creators of the top 3 mods will each receive an EndCycle VS Steam code to gift to a friend! Additionally, all the mods will be showcased on the official 12B3 Games Youtube Channel!
We will also be playing through all submissions in a special stream, on Sunday 17th July!
We're looking forward to you all joining and creating funny mods with us! See you all online! - Gal & Daniel

New panels, reworked VOCs and balancing changes: 1.5 update just released!
What's up EndCycle players!
We're back with another fun new update for all of you! This one primarily focuses on new panel interactions, as well as balancing changes to make the game more fun for everyone! Let's take a look at all the changes in this newest version:
Rebalanced Noise Leaks and Mini-boss events in Adventure Mode! We heard you, the new events were too simply too tough, so we eased them up a lot. As a developer it is hard to balance the game so it's fair to new players as well!
Characters
Increased movement speed of characters with Glide skill! Tankitty and Greed players rejoice!
Reworked Bella passive: Powers up every 4th VOC! Stacks reset when using a non Lv1-3 VOC!
Panels
Reworked Grass panels: Attacks activated while on top of a grass panel now regenerate health on hit! When hitting it with a fire attack, the entity now also only takes 25% extra damage instead of 50%!
Reworked Metal panels: Now can only be removed by turning them into "Normal" panels first! We reduced damage bonus that electric attacks get on it to 25% from 50% as well!
Lv4 ElecShift, FireShift, WaterShift, NatureShift rebalanced to ElecDrive, FireDrive, WaterDrive, NatureDrive! These VOCs now speed you up additionally to their original effect of changing your element and buffing same-element VOCs!
May Tournament
That was it for the patch notes on 1.5! To test it out, we also just had another EndCycle VS tournament! The long-standing champion LDDestroier was dethroned by the new EndCycle VS champion: Disc-Oh!
You can watch the entire tournament VOD here: The strategies shown in this newest tournament were unlike any we have seen so far! This tournament was dominated by strategies relying on the new "Counter-style", which players made use of by countering their own attacks! Take a look at the tournament-deciding combo by Disc-Oh, where he used his own HotMagic to counter a ColdRush attack, which he could then combo into Freezing-Meteors to make the enemy stuck on the panel, unable to dodge them! The mastery shown in hitting every single of the three meteors just shows how much time Disc-Oh devoted to learning the ins and outs of his combos!
Thank you all so much for your continued support, and we hope you are looking forward to our next update! The next one will focus on bringing you more Adventure mode content again, so get excited!
Love, Daniel and Gal - 12B3 Games

+ Mysterious tablets can be found all over Anikka now... + New dialogues when playing as Yven + Made it possible to rearrange VOCs! + Noise battles drop specific VOCs now that are indicated by their coloring on the map + Noise battles drop element VOCs dependent on their own element. + Punks / Agents will now randomly attack or befriend independents instead of being passive towards them
