Hello all Wobblies!

Welcome to v0.6.5 The Treasure Hunt Update!

Dig up some treasure or help uncover Wobbly Islands lost history by filling in exhibitions at the Museum, there’s lots to find buried around the Island!





If you look carefully around the island you will find 3 different locations with treasure hunting fanatics who can sell you a treasure map.

There are 3 different difficulties of treasure hunts; Easy, Medium and Hard. The harder the hunt the better chance of rewards.



Once you buy a map you will notice a red circle on the main map,



(Press M to open the map or Up on the D-Pad on controller) Take a metal detector and explore the area within the red circle.



While holding a metal detector it will beep when you are close to buried treasure and speed up the closer you are. When you find where it’s buried press 2 (Left on D-Pad on controller) to dig it up. You might find some treasure. Take any coins, ingots and goblets back to the treasure shops to cash them in.
There is also a chance you could dig up an artifact!



A new addition to Wobbly Island is the Museum! You can find it on the edge of the city next to the power plant.

The Museum has lots of relics from wobbly history, have a look around and learn about the rich past of Wobbly Island. However some collections are missing, you can help fill in the Museums missing collections by bringing any artifacts you may find on your treasure hunting travels.

You can identify an artifact by its distinctive yellow glow. Bring enough artifacts to the Museum and you might get a reward.



There are also some treasure spots dotted around the island outside of the treasure maps, so buy a metal detector from a treasure shop and get searching!

Note: The Museum isn’t finished, we plan to add more collections as we go towards full release

Hello all Wobblies!

Just want to say a massive thank you for all the support, this is our biggest update yet!
This update is also special as we are coming up to the 1 year anniversary of Wobbly Life entering early access!

Thank you so much to everyone who has continued to support us so far, we hope you will join us for the rest of our journey!

Quick note before talking about v0.6.0, we've decided to post pone full release (i.e Exiting Early Access) for another year, mainly because of the support which Wobbly Life has been given, in short, we want to keep making Wobbly Life the best it can be. What does this mean to you Wobblies out there, it means more content!

We have revamped a lot of the core systems in Wobbly Life to give a better quality of life as well as adding a huge amount of new content!




Something strange is happening in the mountain.




First of all there is a big change to the save system. You are now able to have multiple world saves and character saves.



The world save contains all the progress within your world such as missions and certain statistics, this can be anything from Buying your first house and making Granny proud to doing the tutorial or completing the Intro cutscene, this is all shared across each character.

Each World save also contains 4 character saves within it, this means if you play splitscreen a lot you don’t have to always have a second controller plugged in if you only wanted to play the second character!

The character save slot keeps track of your individual data such as money, clothes, vehicles and houses.

Don't worry your old save will be converted to the new system and there will be a backup created in

Path: %AppData%\\LocalLow\\RubberBandGames\\Wobbly Life\\Save\\STEAMID\\GameSaves\\Backup_Old


We have also made some big changes to the way wardrobes and clothes shops work!
Clothes shops now each have their own unique clothes catalogue with some items only showing in certain shops.

In addition to this we have revamped the UI of both the Shops and Wardrobe to a much more user friendly design. Icons represent all the clothes available allowing players to easily navigate to what they want.




The island is more lively than ever with lots of new jobs!

Help keep the forest tidy as a lumberjack, crack the code as a scientist or help prevent disaster as a firefighter, you may even find yourself flying a jet.

Check out the WobblyTV Studios and see if you have what it takes to rise to the top in the Wonderful Wobbly Quiz!

There's lots of new stuff to see in this update.




Ever wondered whether that wobbly speeding by was delivering a pizza or losing a street race?

Now you can know, while on a job your minimap icon will show others what job it is you are doing.




The community spoke, we listened. I introduce vertical split screen!

You can now find in the game options menu an option for vertical split screen. Turn this on to play side by side.





We recently ran a competition for our community to design their own vehicles!
We were amazed by the creativity and talent within our community.
The winners were recently announced and are now all in the game.

Can you find them all?
