We've released a small update with some changes and marks the end of the Halloween Event. Halloween skins, hats, helmets and other cosmetics have been replaced with the default ones.
Anyone who played during the Halloween Event will unlock the new Pumpkin helmet!! The Spiral block Helmet will be added in later in a future update as a possible unlockable.
Small Changes/Additions:
- New Lobby Setting: "Fog Distance". This overwrites every players current fog distance to the one set by the host. This can be great for maps that want to make maps spooky or make sniping more challenging. ("Fog Distance: None" does not overwrite the player fog distance)
- Players who played during Halloween Event will unlock the Pumpkin Helmet
- Halloween Skins, Hats, Helmets, and other Halloween graphics removed.
- Added "Fog Maps" to the default map list (This was previously called Halloween Event Maps)
- Turning Off Music now turns Off Ambience
- Added an "Extras" Button (In Options and In-Game Pause Menu)
- Fixed a bug where portal tint stays if you get stuck or die in a portal or end the game
- Other bug fixes...
Thank you all for the support and love, we had fun making the Halloween Update and hope that everyone had fun playing on it aswell. Without this special community there wouldn't be great updates like these. If you want to see more updates, join the discord and tell how much you enjoyed the event.

Update 36
Update 36 is here with many new goodies for everyone to try starting today! This update is for our lovely community of map makers and players who want to play on great new maps!
<*>Added 14 New Blocks
◦ Magma ◦ Hedge ◦ Roof Tile ◦ White Space Bricks ◦ Grey Space Bricks ◦ White Simple ◦ Red Simple ◦ Blue Simple ◦ Green Simple ◦ Yellow Simple ◦ Treetop ◦ Cloud ◦ Vacuum
More on new Cloud and Vacuum block:
The Cloud Block A handy dandy clump of cloud is a weak passable opaque block that can be used in map making mode to create secret routes, surprise pits, hidden portals and more! It could even be used in more creative ways such as deep fog or a shade for pixel art and whatnot. During matches, one can use the cloud block to hide themselves or use it to create hidden traps to trick the enemy to falling off the map, cloud blocks can be shot through like your everyday air but can only be broken by melee, lasers and explosives so find your enemy and blow away the clouds.
The Vacuum Block Another useful block that's only available to map making mode, what this invisible lookalike does is that it prevents players from building in the areas that these blocks are placed, this only works if its locked though so stay wary! This block can be used to protect spawn zones and flags from being built over, blocking players from nerd poling too high or preventing getting out of the map safely. The block currently has the same texture as invisible but will have its own variant in a later update.
<*> Updated 19 Block Textures
◦ Water ◦ Tall Grass ◦ Invisible ◦ White Complex ◦ Red Complex ◦ Blue Complex ◦ Green Complex ◦ Yellow Complex ◦ Ice ◦ Bricks ◦ Chain ◦ Rose ◦ Daisy ◦ Space ◦ Retro Metal ◦ Red Metal ◦ Blue Metal ◦ Orange Metal ◦ Green Metal
40 New/Updated Maps
◦ Artistic Maps
◦ Zombie Maps
◦ Parkour Maps
◦ Vehicle Maps
◦ Competitive Maps
◦ Murder The Flag Maps
◦ Murder Match Maps
Many bug fixes and small additions
