Arcade Mode is here. You’ve all seen the button on the menu, and now you can play it!
This update is a bit different to our normal updates, it has sort of been like creating a brand new game. We’re really excited for you all to play it with your friends and we hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!
We’re also super excited to be releasing the first version of our mod tools. We can’t wait to see what people can create with them!
Arcade
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Arcade Lobby
Arcade is the main feature of this update. It has been in the works for a very long time. Arcade isn’t just one game mode, Arcade has 4 official modes for you to play: Trash Zone, Hide & Seek, Wobble Run and Sandbox. Each of these modes also has customizable settings for you to play around with!
Trash Zone
Trash Zone is an asymmetric party game where one player (the Trasher) will attempt to knock the other players (the Trash) into a trash compactor to knock them out. They will do this by throwing objects down into the ‘Trash Zone’, launching them at the other players. The Trash players have to dodge these objects until the timer runs out.
If the Trasher knocks all the players out, then they win. But if any of the Trash players survive until the end of the timer, then they win. Any players who get pushed into the trash compactor spawn back in and can help the Trasher take out the remaining players.
We hope this gamemode will be a new experience for Wobbly Life players and a load of fun to play with friends.
Hide and Seek is a mode where one player is the “Seeker”, and the rest of the players are the “Hiders”.
When the game starts the Hiders have a short time to go find somewhere to hide. The Seeker stays behind a locked door while they go and hide.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Left - A Seeker in the locked room. Right - A Hider hiding in a box
Once the hiding timer reaches zero the door unlocks and the Seeker is released to go find the Hiders.
To catch a Hider the Seeker needs to grab them, and if the Seeker catches all the Hiders before the timer runs out then the Seeker wins. But if any Hiders manage to evade the Seeker until the timer runs out then they win.
When a Hider is caught, they spectate until the end of the game.
Hide and Seek has 4 maps: Quarry, Office, Village and Jungle.
Wobble Run is a race through colorful obstacle courses. Players will need to jump, dodge, grab and wobble their way to victory. The first Wobbly over the finish line wins!
Wobble Run courses are made up of different obstacles each with their own challenges. Compete against your friends to see who can get the best time!
Wobble Run has 10 courses for you to compete in. Below are some screenshots of our favorites!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wobble Run courses
The courses vary in difficulty and each one will have unique challenges. You can also adjust timers, weather and enable/disable checkpoints in the settings.
Sandbox mode is the physics playground you always wanted. Spawn Objects & Vehicles using the Sandbox Menu and let your imagination run wild. Want to know what would happen if you blew up 50 TNT’s inside a bouncy castle? Well now you can find out!
Sandbox has 4 maps for you to play around with: Empty, Large Bedroom, City & Stadium. The Sandbox menu also features settings to alter player speed and jump strength, as well as a noclip mode.
Mods
The other side of the Arcade mode are Mods. This is the first beta version of our mods tools. These are only available to Steam users and use the Steam Workshop.
Mods allow you to create your own experiences using our mod tools via the Unity game engine - this could be your own gamemode or a custom world for you to mess around with the physics… it’s completely up to you!
To create a mod you use the Wobbly Life Mod SDK. You can find documentation for it here. We plan to add more functionality to the SDK and update the documentation in the future.
Mod demo versions of the Trash Zone and Quarry Hide and Seek maps can be found here for reference. The mod SDK allows modders to create their own sandbox maps too! Please note that creating your own custom game modes will require some coding experience.
We hope the modders out there will get stuck in and make amazing Wobbly Life content for all you PC players to enjoy!
Emotes
We’ve added loads of new emotes to the emote wheel. The wheel is now divided into 4 sections each with 4 to 6 emotes in it. We hope you all enjoy these new emotes, we’ve had great fun making them!
Updated Main Menu
The Main Menu has had a complete redesign and is now set on Granny’s street in the main game world. The redesign should make it easier to start and find game sessions in the two different game types; World and Arcade.
Performance Improvements
This update includes some massive improvements to physics and rendering performance. Almost all users should get a boost to FPS regardless of platform.
We’ve also added a “Chunk Distance (host only)” option in the settings for PC users. This controls the distance objects will load/unload. Note that this setting is server wide and only the hosts setting has any effect. Lowering this setting can give a big boost to performance at the cost of render distance and despawning objects.
Console Graphical Improvements
All console versions now have bloom on certain lights. This means those lights will now glow.
We’ve also added ambient occlusion to all console versions which improves shading and graphical depth for the whole game.
Merch
Don’t forget we’ve got merch!
We have more stuff coming to the store very soon so keep an eye out for that.
Trash Zone - An asymmetric party game where one player tries to knock out the other players using trash.

Development Preview: Arcade #3
Hello all Wobblies!
Welcome to the third development preview, our way of keeping you all up to date with development of the next major update. This time we’re introducing another Arcade mode, “Wobble Run”.
Note: All of this content is still in active development and so isn’t final and could change!
Wobble Run
Wobble Run is a race through colorful obstacle courses. Players will need to jump, dodge, grab and wobble their way to victory. The first Wobbly over the finish line wins!
Wobble Run courses are made up of different obstacles each with their own challenges. Compete against your friends to see who can get the best time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A Wobble Run course
To keep things fair Wobblies cannot grab each other in Wobble Run. Also a lot of the obstacles in Wobble Run cannot be grabbed unless they require grabbing to get past them.
Once the first player has passed the finish line, a countdown timer starts. Any players who haven’t passed the finish line when the countdown reaches 0 are eliminated.
Checkpoints
If you fall or get knocked off the course don’t panic! You will respawn at the last checkpoint you reached.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A checkpoint
Progress Bar
Want to know who’s just behind you? Or see how far away the Wobbly ahead is? We’ve got you covered. The Progress Bar shows how far you and your competitors are along the course so you can keep track of what's going on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Progress Bar
Courses
Wobble Run will have multiple courses for you to compete in. Below are screenshots of some of our favorites! The courses vary in difficulty and each one will have unique challenges.

Welcome to the second development preview, our way of keeping you all up to date with the development of the next update. This time we’re introducing another Arcade mode, “Hide and Seek”.
Note: All of this content is still in active development and so isn’t final and could change!
Hide and Seek
You probably know the rules already, but let's go through how Hide and Seek works anyway as we’ve added a few tweaks of our own!
One player is the “Seeker”, and the rest of the players are the “Hiders”. When the game starts the Hiders have a short time to go find somewhere to hide. The Seeker stays behind a locked door while they go and hide.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Left - A Seeker in the locked room. Right - A Hider hiding in a box
Once the hiding timer reaches zero the door unlocks and the Seeker is released to go find the Hiders.
To catch a Hider the Seeker needs to grab them, and if the Seeker catches all the Hiders before the timer runs out then the Seeker wins. But if any Hiders manage to evade the Seeker until the timer runs out then they win.
When a Hider is caught, they will spectate until the end of the game.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Left - The Seeker chasing a Hider. Right - Spectating a Player
The Seeker has a speed advantage over the Hiders in both moving and jumping. This gives them an advantage in any chase. So if you’re a Hider you want to stay out of sight as much as possible!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Seeker icon
To even things up the Hiders can see the Seeker’s rough location with the Seeker icon. Though this icon is only updated every 5 seconds so they can’t always be sure exactly where the Seeker is! Hiders are also unable to grab anything in Hide and Seek, but the Seeker can.
Pinging
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A Wobbly getting pinged
Once the Seeker is released if a Hider moves too quickly they will set off a ping showing the Seeker their location. So when moving between hiding spots it is best to move slowly.
A Hider can only ping once every 8 seconds so if you do ping, try to move away from that area and hide as quickly as possible.
When the countdown timer reaches 30 seconds all remaining Hiders are automatically pinged so make sure you plan an escape route from where you’re hiding if the Seeker is nearby!
Sleeping
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A sleeping Wobbly
If a Hider stays still for too long then their Wobbly gets bored and goes to sleep. The loud snoring can be heard from quite far away! To wake up, move your Wobbly around a bit. But don’t move too quickly or you might get pinged!
Maps
This mode will release with multiple maps, here are screenshots of some of the maps you can look forward to. Each map has its own unique features.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Quarry map is full of explosive red barrels
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The Office map has hidden ways to move between floors
A mod version of the Quarry map will be released to the public in a mod examples package. Modders can make their own Hide and Seek maps using our mod api and tools in the Unity game engine.
Merch
Don’t forget we’ve got merch!
We have more stuff coming to the store very soon so keep an eye out for that.
Welcome to the first development preview! This is our way to keep you all in the loop with what’s going on with Wobbly Life, as this year's updates may take us a bit longer than previous years.
Note: All of this content is still in active development and so isn’t final and could change!
Arcade
In this development preview we are introducing Arcade... So what is Arcade?
Arcade is something that has been in the works way before the game even came out. You will have seen the button on the menu since launch. Arcade isn’t just one game mode, it is much much more! The official Arcade will have multiplayer game modes for you to play; these will be announced as we develop them. We’re talking about the first mode ‘Trash Zone’ below!
Mods
The other side of the Arcade mode are Mods. These will only be available to Steam users and will use the Steam Workshop.
Mods will allow you to create your own experiences using our mod tools via the Unity game engine - this could be your own gamemode or a custom world for you to mess around with the physics… it’s completely up to you!
We hope the modders out there will get stuck in and make Wobbly Life content far into the future!
Trash Zone
Trash Zone is an asymmetric party game where one player (the Trasher) will attempt to knock the other players (the Trash) into a trash compactor to knock them out. They will do this by throwing objects down into the ‘Trash Zone’, launching them at the other players. The Trash players have to dodge these objects until the timer runs out.
If the Trasher knocks all the players out, then they win. But if any of the Trash players survive until the end of the timer, then they win. Any players who get pushed into the trash compactor spawn back in and can help the Trasher take out the remaining players.
The attacker(s) can also use the power up machine to get a randomly selected power up adding to the chaos.
We hope this gamemode will be a new experience for Wobbly Life players and a load of fun to play with friends.
Merch
Don’t forget we’ve got merch!
We have more stuff coming to the store very soon so keep an eye out for that.

Design your own costume competition
Hello all Wobblies!
Check out our 'Design your own costume/clothes' competition! 🎩👕🩳
We’ve got a minor update for you this month, adding 3 new jobs as well as a bunch of fixes and some graphical improvements. We hope you enjoy it!
Put on your hard hat and visit the new construction site in the forest! You can show off your building skills in 3 new jobs. There are a bunch of new vehicles and tools to help you get the job done.
The new building jobs work in 3 stages in a similar way to the farming job. Once you finish one job the same NPC will offer to start the next stage.
Recycling Job
Become a heavy machinery expert and use the Recycling Machines to turn bits of rubble into new building materials.
Construction Job
Take on the role of a builder and lay the bricks yourself. Place bags of materials on the walls and use a hammer to build them before the time runs out!
Demolition Job
As a Wobbly builder you don’t get everything right the first time. So sometimes buildings need to be demolished. Make use of a variety of new tools and vehicles to knock those walls back down again.
Save Game Backup System
For the PC version of Wobbly Life we have added a backup system, which puts the last 20 saves into a directory in case you delete/corrupt the save file.
The backups are located here (replace USERNAME with your computer user name) - >> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\RubberBandGames\Wobbly Life\Save
You should find a folder with a bunch of numbers and _backup, the bunch of numbers is your steam id.
Once you find the folder and want to restore your game, all you need to do is make sure the game is closed, extract the backup you want to restore from its zip file, then copy all the contents inside the backup and put them inside your save folder which will be located here -
>> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\RubberBandGames\Wobbly Life\Save (It will be the folder with a bunch of numbers - not the one with _backup)
We hope this helps people who lose their save files. We have made a bunch of adjustments in this update to try to ensure that this doesn’t happen, but without knowing exactly what causes the save issues we have introduced this system as well.
We do plan to go into more detail soon in the Steam discussions about restoring backup saves.
Merch
Don’t forget we’ve got merch!

Update v0.7.6
Hello all Wobblies!
Before we talk about the update, we just want to say a massive thank you for all the support. Wobbly Life has almost been out in Early Access for 2 years. We seriously couldn't do this without you guys.
Welcome to the v0.7.6 Update!
This is a pretty ‘Wobbly’ update. We’ve added a new mission involving the Jelly Man, boy does he like jelly! We’ve also updated fishing with a new collection of fish and a Fishing Book to keep track of how many fish you’ve caught. Thank you all for playing, we hope you enjoy the update!
A Wobbly Mission
Jelly Man has been seen around Wobbly Island collecting a lot of jelly. He’s also been very secretive about what's down in his basement. See if you can find out what he’s up to!
Fishing Book
Each fishing hut now has a Fishing Book. This book lets you keep track of all the fish you’ve caught, their rarity and how much their worth. See if you can catch them all!
Ice Fishing
Now you can fish up on the mountain! Wrap up warm and head up to the icy lake to catch new fish for the Ice Fishing collection.
New Paper Round Job
The Wobbly’s of Paradise Island need their papers! Head down there and make sure they get them. The paper job graphics have also had a refresh!
