Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.8.2! This bi-weekly update we've added new hats, new furniture, lots of Football Fever updates and much more! ๐คฉ
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
โฝ๏ธ Football Fever Updates
Football Fever has one of the shortest average survival times of all our minigames, this is a problem we need to solve! ๐ค
Last update we increased the size of the ball, but that didn't help enough. This update we've reverted ball size back, and instead reduced the size of the goal. We've also given us the ability to change all of this remotely without game update, which should help us balance live. ๐ง๐งโ๐ป
Besides that we've also made the goal see-through, which should help you defend your goal better when you play in third-person. ๐
Oh and we've also made the map look a lot nicer, check it out:
๐ฆ Other New Goodies
For the first time since release of the game we've added new hats, 4 variants of the new 'Feelers': ๐ฝ๐พ Oh and as you can see, we've also added some new Condo furnitures, stolen straight from the Hub! ๐

Minigame Madness V0.8.1 is out NOW!
๐ฐ Update Time!
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.8.1! This bi-weekly update we've updated Football Fever, added nature to Condos, and much more! ๐คฉ
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
๐น๏ธ Minigame Changes
โฝ๏ธ Football Fever
Our new Football Fever minigame has been met with much love by the community, instantly putting it at the #1 spot in our minigame popularity leaderboard, which had never been taken over before! ๐คฏ We've learned a lot from all your football matches, and have made some adjustments to the gameplay. The ball is now slightly bigger to help you keep the ball out of your goal. We've also patched an overpowered strategy where the ball hugs the wall, sliding quickly over to another's goal.
Both of these changes will somewhat increase the average survival time of players, which was, and still is, rather low. We still got more work to do! ๐
Also, we've added music, a badge and an achievement to Football Fever! ๐คค
๐ Condo Changes
๐ฆ Furniture Crates
Furniture Crates should now drop a much more varied output of items. No more plastic chair loops! ๐ซก
๐ฒ Nature
In one of the first steps to transform Condos into more than just rooms, we've added 'Pine Trees' and 'Grass Patches' to start turning your room into a beautiful park or forest! ๐ฒ๐ซ๐พ
Also the trampoline is now purchasable with gems through the new 'Backyard' ensemble! ๐คช

Minigame Madness V0.8 is out NOW!
๐ฐ Update Time!
Greetings Mubs, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness V0.8! This bi-weekly update we've added a BRAND NEW minigame, finished Parkour Panic, and much more! ๐คฉ
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes.
โข๏ธ Parkour Panic
Since its inception, Parkour Panic has consistently been one of our most popularโand most challengingโminigames. We are happy to announce that Parkour Panic is now complete and no longer considered WIP!
Time to reveal the official thumbnail! ๐คค๐
โฝ A NEW MINIGAME!?
A bunch of you were probably expecting a new official minigame vote, but this time we had to choose the minigame ourselves! ๐ง
While we were creating the circular arena map for Twisted Trivia, we quickly realized that this map would be way more suitable for our planned Football Fever minigame. Football Fever's 16v16 free-for-all gameplay requires a circular map, and what's a better fit for the football theme than a crowded arena! It's simply perfect. We needed to compare the two minigames to see who's the better fit for the map, so Football Fever had to be the next minigame to release. That said, it's a good 'un! ๐
Bring some friends, and play Football Fever NOW in Minigame Madness! Very WIP and very FUN! ๐คฉ
๐กFUN FACT: It's not the first time we've switched maps this late in the development of a minigame; Sumo Shamble actually used to take place on the Blazing Bullets tower map! Only late in Sumo development we discovered that Sumo Shamble gameplay needed a shrinking map, and so the sinking island map was born. ๐

Minigame Madness V0.7.3 is out NOW!
โ ๏ธ Update Alert!
Greetings Mub, you're reading the latest news about Minigame Madness! This bi-weekly we've added some awesome minigame content & condo features. ๐คฉ
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
๐น๏ธ Minigame Changes
๐ง Twisted Trivia
Twisted Trivia has gained 3 new question types, and received an improved question picker algorithm, leading to much more varied games where questions barely get repeated! ๐
The 3 new question types are:
"Blurred Minigame Match"
"Ensemble Match
"Shifted Outfit Match"
I'll leave it up to you to discover what they are! ๐
โ ๏ธ We've also translated ALL outfit & ensemble names, so Trivia is now more accessible than ever. ๐
๐ณ๏ธ Summit Scramble
Summit Scramble's recent flag overhaulhas been received well, and the minigame has risen in the popularity leaderboard because of it! ๐คฉ๐
That said, it severely needed more balancing, so we've added a short grace period before dropping the flag. We've also slightly reduced movement speed up the stairs and reduced flag holder knockback even further at big playercounts for some extra me-time for the king on top. ๐ซถ
We hope both of these changes will help our kings to claim a pyramid for longer periods of time, leading to an overall more structured battle. ๐
๐ Condo Changes
๐ Vending Machines & Confetti Poppers
Vending machines are a new furniture type that give the player usable gadgets when walking into them!
Gadgets are already used in minigames such as Robot Ruckus (Laser Gun ๐ซ) and Bounty Battle (Stun Baton โก). We want to give you access to those gadgets in Condo as well, for whatever purpose you can dream of!
The vending machine currently gives a Confetti Popper as the very first Condo gadget, but in the future you can expect many more gadgets to be available in Condo for extra sandbox craziness! ๐คช
โ ๏ธ Please note that the Party Popper gadget is likely to be replaced as the default Vending Machine gadget. We're still figuring out how we will actually release gadgets down the line.
โจ New Manipulator
The Condo Manipulator has been using a placeholder Confetti Popper model since the start, so with Confetti Poppers now actually becoming a thing through the new Vending Machines, it was time to update the Manipulator model to something a little more sci-fi, but also a little more familiar. ๐งโจ

Minigame Madness V0.7.2 is out NOW!
Bi-Weekly Update
This bi-week we've made lots of big changes, and added some new features. ๐คฉ
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
Summit Scramble Overhaul
Summit Scramble never felt much like a king-of-the-hill, but more like a KINGS-of-the-hill. With everyone constantly at the top fighting, no clear winner ever came out on top. After this structureless battle, it often felt like a seemingly random player was chosen as winner. ๐ค
Summit Scramble clearly needed some more structure, so we completely overhauled it! ๐
To improve structure, we decided to increase the time where only a single player's on top by adding a single capturable flag that, due to the flag weighing the player down, reduces the holder's received knockback, essentially making them stronger than the rest.
Only the flag holder gets points, so try to steal it! ๐ The gameplay now actually matches the minigame's badge icon! (๐ณ๏ธ)
This overhaul should hopefully transform Summit Scramble into somewhat of an asymmetric "superhero" battle, that requires some actual tactics to win! ๐ง
โ ๏ธ These changes are big and experimental, and can be changed by us on the fly even without update. We'll be balancing it over time, as it certainly needs it. We'd love to hear your feedback!
New Minigame Leaderboard & Colors
To help see whether the Summit Scramble overhaul significantly improves it, we've added 30-day minigame popularity hub-leaderboards to the ceiling of the hub: Let's see if Summit will Scramble to the top of the charts! ๐
Besides adding new leaderboards, we've also updated the leaderboard design to a clean light theme: ๐

This bi-week we've added a big new feature and created a new website! ๐ฎ๐ง
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
Twisted Trivia Updates
The work-in-progress Twisted Trivia has been given a major overhaul this update, from a completely new map to a more fun question format with varying images instead of varying prompts.
New Wiki
To help you answer Twisted Trivia questions, we've created the official Minigame Madness wiki:
The wiki is made for both new players and advanced player alike, with lots of tips & strategies for each minigame and information on ANYTHING Minigame Madness.
ANYONE can edit the wiki, and doing so will reward the 'Contributor' badge! (Renamed from the Translator badge, as translation & wiki contributions are now merged.)
Check it out at wiki.minigamemadness.net or through the new "Help" menu button which links directly to your current minigame's wiki page if in-game! ๐คฉ๐ฅธ
New Furniture Ensembles
Besides increasing the odds of receiving rare furnitures out of Furniture Crates this update, we've also also added purchasable daily restocked furniture sets (ensembles) to the hub shops:
For example: you can buy the TV Lounge ensemble for ๐3.800 today to get a Flatscreen TV, Pole Lamp (NEW), Couch (NEW) and an Armchair (NEW)! Check new ensembles restocked daily in the hub! ๐คค
Both the improved odds and purchasable ensembles will help you construct the condo of your dreams, with many more ensembles becoming available as more furniture gets added with each update! ๐คฉ๐ซ

Bi-Weekly Update
This bi-week, besides implementing major Condo upgrades, we FINALLY finished Robot Ruckus, meaning it's time to vote for the next minigame! ๐คฉ๐ซ
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
Robot Ruckus Finished!
Ever since Robot Ruckus entered development, ANOTHER minigame started development (Parkour Panic), and an ENTIRE sandbox sub-game has been added to the game (Condos)! Needless to say, Robot Ruckus got put on hold for a while...
With the finalized gun model in place, and a new no-aim shooting method designed for controller users, the time is finally here to put a bow on it. Robot Ruckus is no longer WIP! ๐๐ค
Vote for the NEXT MINIGAME!
With Robot Ruckus finalized, we need to plan the next minigame to be announced: It's time for our second official minigame vote! ๐คฉ
Our next development cycle after Parkour Panic (V0.7.x.x) will focus on the winner of this poll! Choose wisely:
OPTION A: Twisted Trivia ๐ค๐ง
Twisted Trivia is a test of wits! Each round, four randomly generated statements are presented of which only one is true. Stand on the correct platform to try and stay in the game the longest!
OPTION B: Rotten Rampage ๐๐ง
Rotten Rampage is infection tag! Zombies are crawling out of graves, donโt get touched or youโll join them. Be the last human standing to win!
OPTION C: Manic Murderer ๐ช๐ฑ
Manic Murderer is sus! One player is the murderer, another is sheriff, the rest are innocents. The murderer needs to (secretly) kill everyone to win, while the innocents & sheriff need to kill or outlast the murderer to win!
You can now expand your Condo in three directions by manipulating one of the three (new) wall pivots: the vent, ceiling lamp and gate! While holding a wall pivot, use Distance mode to push the wall outwards, and a message box will pop up asking you to buy the expansion!
To help you fill up your increasingly spacious Condo, we've also added 4 new furnitures to the crate! ๐คค
โ ๏ธ Existing Condos are reset in this version due to heavy changes. We're trying to make sure resets won't have to happen in the future, but can't promise it! Your furniture inventory is always safe of course.
โ ๏ธ Freezing is now called Ghosting, but the mechanics remain roughly the same, except for the fact you can move Ghosted furniture, after which they stick in place. Keybind has been swapped with Scale: Ghost is now [G] and Scale is now [F]. You can always change them back if you like.

Bi-Weekly Update
This bi-week we've added many, many things to the ever-expanding MM universe! ๐คฉ๐คค
Check the changelog at the bottom of this post for the full list of changes!
Robot Ruckus Gun Overhaul!
Long planned, finally here, a full Robot Ruckus gun overhaul! ๐คโกโจ
We've added burst shot to reduce strain on fingers when taking out crowds of robots, while also increasing complexity of gameplay a little bit, by requiring you to manage your ammo reserves: Currently your ammo is not visible anywhere, but we plan to visually display it when the final laser gun model arrives. Your ammo quickly regenerates so you shouldn't be out of ammo much anyway, only shortly after burst-shooting.
Besides adding burst shot, maybe even more importantly, we've also finally added ping compensation to the laser gun, meaning your gameplay will feel just as smooth at 300 ping as it feels at 0 ping! ๐ซก
BTW: You can now shoot as fast as you want, even without bursting. No more cooldowns! ๐คฉ (as long as ammo reserves last ofc!)
Condo Upgrades!
Furniture Crates are here!
Open the new Furniture Crates to start expanding your Condo with your personal taste, display your immense wealth, break the laws of physics, and more! ๐ฒ
We've also added a 'Flatscreen TV' to the crate as the first furniture not found in your standard Condo! Let's get rid of that clunky laptop. ๐
Spawning
Spawn furniture from your inventory into your Condo by... clicking on them!
Freezing
You can now Freeze furniture by pressing F!
Picking Up
Put furniture back into your inventory by harshly dragging them into your Mub using the Distance mode on your Manipulator. (default keybind: E)
