Winners for Art Contest #3!

Our 3rd Community Art Challenge has completed and we're once again blown away by the creativity shared! The task was to combine an animal with a vegetable, and the winner is K.AR.S. with this very unique Onion Cat (displaying different ways to cut an onion! So clever!)



BluDmd23 is runner-up with these animal+vegetable hybrids, especially Oni the Onion Rabbit -- sporting amazing shape language, smart choices for color palette, and a super unique idea for a transforming weapon:

We also have YaRoslav as runner-up who charmed us with this cute lettuce-rabbit hybrid! We love the cuteness-factor (how could you not?), the integration of the lettuce leaves, and the interesting underground nest concept. Well done!


Our humble thanks to everyone on our Discord for sharing their talent and creativity with us and our community! To see the rest of the entries, visit our Discord community here: http:/www.grumpyfacediscord.com

Art Contest 2 Winners!

Our 2nd Community Art Challenge has ended! This time we asked artists to design a character with very specific parameters (green, curvy, wavy black hair, loves aerobics and nature, afraid of shadows!) 


Our winning entry is “Zoe” by @BluDmd23! We loved the clover-shaped hair, costume design and colors! (And kitty friend!)



Our first runner-up is by @PkelzArt and we loved the strong shape language, looseness, and that big fun leaf!


And our second runner-up is by artist K.A.R.S., who impressed us with a very cool, original weapon (a lantern staff used to literally fight off the darkness -- what a great idea!) and some nice posing!


Thank you again to everyone who participated and made this another fun contest! You can see all the other submissions in the #contest-entries channel on our official discord server, here: https://discord.gg/Nw2pMsMUvz

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.
