Wigged Out News

Big changes are added to Wigged Out!
We’ve been hard at work tweaking, refining, and adding in new content to make the game even more chaotic and fun. This update brings new features, crucial fixes, and a whole lot of polish!
Some of the newest additions include two brand-new items—the Toilet and the Big Fish—ready to shake up the game! And for those who prefer to let their actions do the talking, we’ve added an emote system, so you can express yourself without saying a word.
We’ve also dedicated a lot of effort into improving online play, making matches smoother and more reliable than ever.
