The Crackpet Show - Can we fix it? [0.13.2 content update]
Dear animal-freakshow-lovers,
Time for the new 🅄🄿🄳🄰🅃🄴! Episode 17 with Cockroach the Builder is now available, so get ready to test your ultimate builds, and all the sponsor bonuses to face the enemy supported by a deadly machine! There are some new tools at your disposal - including two new special items, a new weapon, a perk, and more. There are some secrets here too!
Let's take a look at all the new additions:
New episode - Can we fix it?
🪳 Cockroach The Builder - of course, deadly machines exist in the world of The Crackpet Show! You didn’t think that only good stuff like a sponsor arcade machine existed, right? Cockroach is the master of destruction, so be aware of his mech!
New room layout pack
With this new update, you will immediately notice more room variety. This is a first pack consisting of 8 new regular stages, 4 counter stages, and 8 perk stages. Time to challenge your muscle memory!
New weapon
🌈 Rainbow shotgun - Shoots five colorful bullets. The bane of the color-blind.
New perk
🔥 Fire Sweat - When dashing, you leave behind a fiery area that deals damage to enemies!
New special items
😵💫 Blind shooting - Teach your enemies a lesson and shoot bullets in eight directions simultaneously!
👿 Devil’s Arsonist - Creates a special symbol that ignites your enemies. Also, you can use it for barbequing.
Balance tweaks
This patch’s balance changes focus on 3 major things:
buffing less used weapons, nerfing some too powerful ones
boosting special items, so they are more relevant
boosting season 3 bosses
Weapon balance changes Let’s start with buffs. Baseball Gun and Grow-o-Ball are the main ones scheduled for buffing, while Mega Railgun, Railgun, Love Spreader, and Rocket Launcher received minor adjustments. We have also tweaked some of the weapon markings.
Special items When looking at the data of special item usage, we could see that non-healing item are not that important for you and could use some more utility. We buffed over 15 of them, plus gave entirely new features to mines - Explosive and Stinky ones now activate other mines in their damage radius.
Boosting Season 3 bosses We already said that season 1 and 2 bosses look mostly well balanced, but you still manage to win fights with the latest bosses. So let’s see how well you do after boosting Giant Turtle, Wack-a-Ctopus, Blood Brothers, and Blind Hugger.
Check out the full changelog if you don’t want to miss anything (there are some QoL improvements there as well):
Electric Mine number of jumps and damage increased
Explosive Mine explosion radius increased
Stinky Mines explosion radius and damage increased
All Mines activation radius increased
Explosive and Stinky Mines now activate other mines in their damage radius
Junk Queen toys health reduced
Giant Turtle shell health and rate of attacks increased
Wack-a-Ctopus tentacles' have a new attack also his health and rate of fire are increased
Blood Brothers' bullets shot more rapidly
Blind Hugger bullets shot more rapidly
Lionstein attacks more often and places more totems
Emo Hedgehog rushes more, his spines fly faster and are more bouncy
Fixes
Fix for invisibility not waking up enemies occasionally
Fix use amount of damage boost aura
Fix for character arm disappearing after weapon drop
Fix for sound for the Guardian sometimes stopping sound when he's not supposed to
Fixed issue with Giant Turtle boss dying too quickly
Fix an issue where bullets would sometimes stay in the same place if the destination and starting place was the same
Fix for an occasional invisible enemy
Fix for controller focus problems in the stage selection screen …aaand other minor UI and animations improvements and fixes
Coming up next…
With the next update, the plan is to add 24 character skins, new skins for mini-boses and more! Check out the update:

The Crackpet Show - Time to Upgrade - [0.12.3 content update]
Dear animal-freakshow-lovers,
It’s the perfect time to come back to your favorite show with this new exciting U̳P̳D̳A̳T̳E̳! A brand new participant joins the show to fight! A new enemy with shield capabilities will make your life harder. But with new weapons, a new perk, and the powerful new special item, you will be more than capable of handling this job. And let’s not forget about another brand new room type!
NOTE: We did a reset to trophies assignments yet again because of the brand new room type - Upgrade Stage. More on that below.
Let's take a look at what's new:
𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭
🐼Panda - had to escape from a zoo when everyone realized he was not very GIFable and sweet enough. But to be free again, he had to put a bamboo stick inside his head (it's a long story), resulting in being even less sweet than before. But at least he might end up on GIFs thanks to joining The Crackpet Show!
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞
🧑🔧Upgrade stage - This wonderful stage allows our heroes to upgrade their weapon damage.
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐠𝐮𝐧
🔫Turrets Launcher - Fires small turrets that deploy where they land.
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐤
🍀Lucky - Gives you a chance to use a special item without consuming a charge. Might be a lifesaver during boss fights (especially with one-room-only ones).
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦
🩹Uber MedKit - The strongest medkit there is — so strong it restores you to full HP.
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲
💂Guardian - thanks to his powerful boombox, surrounds nearby enemies with a soundwave aura, resisting some of the damage taken.
𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬
We keep monitoring the balance with each new update - our data shows that it has improved since the last change, especially for Seasons 1 & 2. Blood Brothers seem to be the toughest from Season 3 so far. Some of you might find a majority of new bosses relatively easy. But we also need to take into consideration the natural flow of progression for players that haven't been waiting for the updates. Thus, with this patch, we are not touching the game balance.
Check out the full changelog if you don’t want to miss anything (there are some QoL improvements there):

With this update, we also updated our roadmap. Let’s start with exciting new stuff - we are adding 24 unlockable character skins to the game! Rusty from fast-food serving chickens, Piggy as a clown, Evil goat now being more… evil, and some surprises waiting for you to discover.
Some of you also suggested secret rooms, and guess what... They’re coming too! We might add some easter eggs down the road, but they remain secret for now. But more stuff means we need more time, so now the roadmap is divided into each of the planned updates of things that will 100% make it to the final version of the game. The game might evolve even more, but it all comes down to testing different ideas and deciding whether something is worth it or not.

The Crackpet Show - Brothers in Arms - [0.11.1 content update]
Dear animal-freakshow-lovers,
Ⓝ Ⓔ Ⓦ Ⓤ Ⓟ Ⓓ Ⓐ Ⓣ Ⓔ is here! It’s time to come back to your favorite reality show and test your builds with a new challenging boss (actually two bosses in one), hunt for new achievements, give new weapon a try, unlock new special items and perks. It’s time to yell yet again: THIS IS THE CRACKPET SHOW!
Let's take a look at what's new:
𝕄𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕟𝕖𝕨 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕔𝕚𝕡𝕒𝕟𝕥
🐷 Piggy - likes to clean things up, apart from himself. His favorite movie is Joker, and he would love to do some cosplay in the future. Prefers a violet color over pink.
ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕨𝕖𝕒𝕡𝕠𝕟
😈 Doom Gun - Fires a powerful, explosive, yet slow projectile that shocks enemies around it. May contain traces of copyright infringement.
ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕜𝕤
There is another new perk that touches the critical hit mechanic, plus a new one for those preferring chained attacks:
🎯 Bullseye Increases critical hit chance. Cow knows by how much.
💥 Short Circuit Shocks enemies near the target. Really shocking how it works.
ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕞
🧛 Vampire - Risky, but it can be a lifesaver! It makes the next several enemy bullets heal you.
ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕞𝕪
🧟♂️ Necromancer - shoots homing skull projectiles and revives enemy corpses. Elite variants are more deadly plus resurrect enemies with much more health.
ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕓𝕠𝕤𝕤
🩸 Blood Brothers - they share a strong bond, and ridiculously high attack speed. Even if you kill one of them, the danger doesn’t stop!
𝔹𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕥𝕨𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕤
We've already seen that bosses are now more challenging, but now it’s time to make them more fun! Epix Mole is by far the toughest one, so we’ve reduced his damage area duration. On the other hand, Toilet Monkey, Mad Bad, Junk Queen, Ass’in’Glass, Blind Hugger, and Wack-a-Ctopus all now have more deadly attacks.
You’ve also told us on Discord that Turbo Snails are a little bit annoying, so we reduced the invulnerability timer for them. Please, keep sharing your feedback, so we can continue to improve the show!
