Wobbly Life News

Hello all Wobblies!

This is the final update of the year, bringing back the festive content from previous years, as well as a bunch of bug fixes.

The whole team wants to say a big thank you for supporting our game. It’s been a busy year for us, with some big updates, and there is a lot already in the works for next year which we can’t wait to share with you all. We hope you have a happy holiday, and we’ll see you next year!





Winter has arrived on Wobbly Island, and oh, how magical it looks!

Granny has turned her little house into a twinkling wonderland, with colorful decorations hanging from every corner and shiny tinsel that sparkles like snowflakes.



Guess what’s back? The Festive Grottos and their jolly Snowmen! If you missed them last year, now’s your chance to explore these winter wonders. Dress up in festive outfits and feel the holiday cheer.



Don’t forget to help the Wobbly Elves! They’ve run out of Candy Canes. Can you be a candy detective and find these sweet treats hidden around Wobbly Island? Bring them to one of the three Festive Grottos, and you’ll get some awesome rewards. Keep your eyes peeled; those Candy Canes can be quite sneaky!



And remember the Snowmen! They’re not just for looking – they’re for playing too! Drive through them in a fun, giggly challenge, and you could unlock some super cool holiday outfits.
So come on, join the fun on Wobbly Island this winter. It’s a place where every day is a festive adventure, filled with laughter, joy, and lots of wintery wonders!

Hello all Wobblies!

Welcome to the v0.9.1 Update!

This update is a big content update for Wobbly Island. It’s packed with new missions, two new jobs, loads of new clothes and so much more! After the Arcade update we were really eager to jump back into Wobbly Island to give you all more things to do!

We hope you enjoy all the new content we’ve created.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]






⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀     The Sleepy Sleeper 3000

A brand new bed called the ‘Sleepy Sleeper 3000’ has been delivered to Pine Design Furniture. It looks super comfy, maybe you should give it a try?




⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀     The weather station

Why not visit the new Weather Station up on the mountain. Here the ‘Wobbly Climate Club’ are hard at work creating exciting new weather technologies. They always need help, so head up there and see if you can lend a hand.

You never know where it might lead!




⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ New Detective Missions

Detective Buck needs your help again. He’s got two brand new mysteries for you to solve, so dig out your magnifying glass, put on your thinking cap and get to work!





There are a bunch of new side missions all over Wobbly Island. Go meet the Bobble Brothers, save a lost cow, and even break into the Wobbly bank!

There’s lots to do so get out there and help those Wobbly’s!




⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Art Studio

An art studio has opened up on Wobbly Island and they’re looking for new artists. Pick up your chisels, grab your brushes and get to work creating the best sculptures that the island has ever seen!

Just try not to make too much of a mess!




⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀      Capturing a weather balloon

The ‘Wobbly Climate Club’ do weather balloon surveys all over Wobbly Island. But they need some help collecting the results. So jump in one of their weather drones and earn some cash collecting balloons!




⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Art Studio Hide and Seek map

Check out the new Art Studio map in the Hide and Seek arcade mode. Whether you’re ducking behind a paint brush or jumping in a paint pot, there are plenty of places to hide. But be careful not to tread in any paint, as you’ll leave a trail of footprints for the seeker to follow!





Perfect Parachutes have opened 4 locations around the map. For a small fee they will take you for an exciting sky dive from a location of your choice. They’ll even throw in the parachute for free!

This can be a quick way of getting around the island.





The real estate market on Wobbly Island just got a bit bigger. Live the high life in one of the 3 new apartments in the city. Or if you fancy a more adventurous home you could buy one of the new jungle huts.





After lots of requests players can now rebind their keyboard keys. The controls menu has been updated to support this.





We’ve added rumble support for controllers on all platforms. Things like explosions, car crashes, vehicle skids now will vibrate your gamepad! In future updates we may implement rumble into more of the game too.

Additionally after a request from a Wobbly Life player, we’ve added rumble to the metal detectors to help people who have hearing impairments do the Treasure Job. Each beep is now matched with a vibration which should make it easier to find all that lost treasure!

But if you’d rather not have your hands vibrated, there is a new setting in the options where the effect can be reduced or turned off completely.





The map has been updated to show other players' waypoints as well. These will show on your map in blue, and are only visible when you’re in the same vehicle as the player who created that waypoint.





A few places around the map have had some graphical upgrades, such as the underground train lines. We’ve also updated some of the older clothes models, made some new movie posters and improved pop-in on areas such as the docks and cannons.



Helicopter controls now use the gamepad triggers for going up and down. We thought this was a better solution which felt more responsive.
