We are aware that with the last update, some bugs slipped through our attention, and many of you have brought them to our notice. We greatly appreciate the involvement of our community in the success of Ship of Fools, and we are very grateful for your support and feedback.
Since we all want to sail in the same direction and value the quality of our game, we have listened to you and put in all our efforts to deliver a quick update that addresses the following bugs:
Resolved Issues
Fixed softlock caused by invisible / invincible ennemies
Bullies going under water and never coming back up causing the encounter to never end.
During an online game, some Slurg become invincible and invisible for one of the two players making it impossible to complete the encounter.
We are all gamers as well, and we understand that a bug can quickly diminish the joy of playing a game. That's why we are constantly doing our best to try to eliminate them. If you encounter any problems, you can contact us on our Discord server.

Fish & Ships update and Water Garden Duo DLC out now!
Developer Dan here to celebrate the official release of Ship of Fools’ brand new content update: Fish & Ships! Aaaaandd (drumroll) … the release of our brand new pack of Fools: the Water Garden Duo! Watch this trailer!
This new update brings a ton to the archipelago! Let’s go over some of the most notable new features.
Give the curious bell a jingle to meet your new gooey and tentacley best friend Otto, a shipwright with enough tools to repair your ships, but most importantly, mend the wounds of your broken heart.
You’ll first be introduced to Otto when you have beaten Tentacles twice or if you’ve completed a run at least once. Unlike his other fellow Krakens, Otto is more passionate about ship construction rather than their destruction.
The process is simple: after unlocking a new ship, interact with Otto using your character's secondary action to access the shipwright menu. From there, you have the freedom to switch between any unlocked ships at will. You can also monitor your progress towards unlocking new ships and achieving the brightness challenges for each one. I'm curious about the outcome when reaching brightness level 15 with a ship … I wonder what awaits?
Each ship grants access to 2 unique items, allowing you to craft run strategies with a refreshing sea breeze. To activate their abilities, every ship's unique artifact utilizes Tendrils.
Speaking of new ships, here is one of them! Meet the Siren’s Call, a vessel carved by the legendary Sirens from the same rocks that constitute their magical artifacts. With the Siren’s Call, you’ll have one less pedestal on deck, but have access to a miniature version of the recycling well to optimize your builds on the go!
The Well Insert a tendril to activate, once active, insert any item to recycle it into another of the same type.
Siren Scale While this ammunition inflicts minimal damage, it applies a random effect with each hit! To unleash its full potential, you’ll need to harness every possible elemental synergy.
May this latest content update bring many more adventuring hours for you and your shipmate across the archipelago's waters! A heartfelt thank you to each member of the Fool community for your unwavering support throughout this inaugural year of Ship of Fools. Our game dev journey has been nothing short of wonderful, and we hope to keep sailing with you all for a long time! If you're inclined to support the dev team in a meaningful way, please consider diving into the all-new Pack of Fools, a creation inspired by the captivating charm of your local water garden.

Fish & Ships update release date & new fools announcement!
Hey Fools! Developer Dan here to bring you the good news you’ve been waiting for!
The wait is finally over! Mark your calendars for November 6th when the fresh out of the water FREE update Fish & Ships will be released on Steam! On the same day, we will also release our brand new pack of fools called Water Garden Duo! This update brings a lot of content to spice up your game, but also to increase the overall performance of the game. Notably, the loading times are significantly reduced. In our previous announcements, we’ve talked a lot about the new ships, but how about the new fishes?
Here they are! Behold Mikoi the Koi-Pop Princess and Master Noh, the paddle of lightning. Watch in awe as both these Fools harnessed the special ability of overcharging their reflect action to perform unique and spectacular feats.
Mikoi the koi fish mesmerizes with its beautiful scales in sea minor… Mikoi’s powerful vocal prowess unleashes a devastating resonance blast that affects every enemy on screen, but also deals damage to the ship. Legend has it that when Mikoi joins your adventures, her melodic abilities extend to covering entire songs. I wonder if there is any truth to that claim…
Noh the cat fish has whiskers as pointed as a CAT-ana… Master Noh’s special ability allows him to travel at lightning speed to strike every enemy on its way.
The console update is also coming along the way a bit later in November. The console update will place versions on par with the same content on every platform.
There is still some time left to vote for Ship of Fools for best Multiplayer game at the Unity Awards! ➡️ https://awards.unity.com
