Grumpyface Community Art Contest Winners!

We held our very first Art Challenge over at our official Grumpyface Discord (located here: https://discord.gg/Nw2pMsMUvz ) and tasked our community with designing a "early-game swamp enemy" for a fake game. We received so many great submissions, but here were our three favorites!

The top winning entry is "FunGhoul" by @KevinMallonDrac (w/skull poison gas attack!)


For our runner-ups we have “Rollywog” by @moonghostboy -- complete with rolling and tongue attacks:


and “Globby” from @AnormalUser8 with backflip and belly flop attacks! (Plus the general offensive trait of exceeding cuteness)

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to enter our humble Community Art Challenge and share their huge talents with us!! Please look forward to our next contest after the holidays (And for more of our thoughts on why we picked these winners, and to also check out the other entries, be sure to visit our Discord ✨)

Unleash the Light bugfix Update 4.0.3 Available on Steam

A new Unleash the Light bugfix patch is now available on Steam! (v4.0.3) This patch fixes several issues from the previous version, including a handful of badges that stopped functioning correctly, an issue where winning a battle with only a fusion left alive would incorrectly trigger Game Over, and several other minor issues. This patch also now prevents Peridot from summoning a mighty army of Pumpkins (despite how glorious that was). You can read the full patch notes here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1379560/announcements/detail/3470614896570300096

Note: Unfortunately due to a logistical issue with our publisher, the console and Apple Arcade versions of this patch have been pushed back to a TBD date. We will share an update on the timing of their release when we receive one ourselves. Our apologies for the delay.

  • Fixed a math calculation issue that would prevent the “Story Mode” button in the Mode Select screen from displaying 100% completion

  • Fixed an issue in the final battle of Story Mode where the final unlockable character would have their level reset to 30 if present in the party

  • Fixed an exploit where Greg’s jams could be used to fill up the Teamwork Bar for free, and another exploit where cancelling Connie’s portal ability granted free strums from Greg’s jams

  • Fixed some issues that could sometimes occur with forming fusions in Rose’s Room
