The best part? It's completely FREE!

This bumper update adds 10 new cards, 15 cosmetics and 5 skins! There's even some new music to play on the jukebox. You'll also get a new quest-giver within Buddy's Boulevard to get acquainted with. Just don't say nothing bad about the pigeons...

Wanna know what cards you've got to play with? Here's the breakdown..

• Slow Reload - Less Reload Speed.
  
• Quick Reload - More Reload Speed
  
• Silent Steps - Your feet don't make noise.
  
• Akimbo - Duplicates your weapon
  
• Disarm - Bring their default weapon back
  
• Bouncy Wall - Creates a wall that reflects all bullets
  
• Clown Shoes - Rival's steps are louder
  
• Ninja Smoke - Vanish and Retreat
  
• Berserker - Increase your damage but receive more damage
  
• Painkillers - Ignore the pain for a while
  

Spot any potential favourites? It's a real mix, that's for sure.

As if that's not enough, we're also rolling out a massive balance patch that tweaks a couple of things. Here's the lowdown...

We're really excited to get this update in your hands and can't wait to see your deck combinations. Let us know whether any of these new additions have made the cut.

Be sure to say hi to Baba. See you out there, friend-os

Hi Friends, hope you've been having a great week!

This bulletin might be our best yet as we have some exciting reveals to share ahead of our biggest update to date - Baba's Laundromat - Including a bunch of balance tweaks and fixes which will launch alongside it!

Let's get right to it...

[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]

We're stoked to share that Baba's Laundromat releases on July 18th! This will be a free update for everyone who owns the game and is the biggest content drop we've done to date!

Included, you'll get 10 new cards (3 of which you saw last week), 15 cosmetics, 5 new skins and a brand new area in Buddy's Boulevard with a quest giver to interact with. We'll also be adding some adjustments to the game which we'll detail, in full, next week.

Speaking of cards, here's another one we're adding into Friends vs Friends with Baba's Laundromat...



This might change the way you play. In fact, several of the cards coming in this update could get a permanent place in your deck. But what will you replace?

Several characters will also be getting new skins. Here's a few of the different styles. Which look are you liking best?



Who are you vibing with? Maybe it's Duck Anderson's Blaze Runner style or Spike Remington's Purrnk.

Perhaps you're a DJ Newton kinda player and want some Hip Hopodile.



This major update is a similar size and scope to the premium expansions we're releasing later this year (don't worry - cards, characters and maps will always be free updates), so we're hoping there's plenty of fun-filled and friendly fighting in your future.

Tuesday can't come fast enough!

[h2]Community Spotlight[/h2]

In case you missed it through all the excitement of playing our latest BFF Update last week, our good friends at Dead Pixel Tales worked up something special for Myk Raver.

They went and made 'Ravers Rumble', a short, story-driven adventure where you're on the run. You can check it out right now on Itchio

This week's community spotlight is on this stunning set of avatars made by Goouie

These really shine and are super vibrant. We love them!



[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown.

We're all very excited to welcome Baba's Laundromat to Buddy's Boulevard next week. No more stinky shirts and socks. Just fresh, dried clothes, all the time.

Being the Mayor is busy work and I must confess, my washing is backed-up and several baskets full by now!

We all need a helping hand sometimes and I've no doubt Baba is going to fit right in around these parts and be a pivotal member of our community. They've already built a special connection with the pigeons.

Let's all give them a big Friendtown welcome together this Tuesday!

Until next time, that’s been me, the Mayor of Friendtown - and you’ve been reading the Mayor’s Message.

Hey Friendo-s!

Hope ya'll are enjoying the Myk Raver BFF Update and liked our little tropical surprise yesterday. The Island is our home away from home and it's a pleasure to welcome you to it.

Just make sure to double up on the sunscreen and don't mess up the palm trees too badly, ok? Also, try not to lose the ice cream truck, that one's on loan.

There's a lot going on, but if you think we're done and stopping there, hooo weee, you're wronger than wrong!

[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]

Next up, we're getting everything ready for our first major expansion - Baba's Laundromat. While we're not quite ready to open up shop on Buddy Boulevard just yet, we do have some new cards to share with you today.



These three - and many others - will be added to Friends vs Friends in the very near future. And as you can see they all offer something a little bit different, whether you create a bouncy wall to deflect bullets or you really want to go all-in guns blazing!

Sorry to be a tease, but you can expect a lot more information on Baba's Laundromat in our next Buddy's Bulletin. Make sure you stay subscribed for that.

[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown.

Imagine my surprise when I decided to take a vacation to the Island this week, hoo, hoo! Not quite the peaceful getaway I was hoping for.

It's splendid to see so many more people visiting Friendtown, though. And it's the perfect time to join us between our most recent additions and the fact that entry is still 33% off. Thank you for all of your support!

I'm still working out the final, finer details with Baba to get their laundromat to Buddy's Boulevard, but without saying too much, I think next week's Bulletin will be quite exciting for everyone in Friendtown.

Until then, that’s been me, the Mayor of Friendtown - and you’ve been reading the Mayor’s Message.

Howdy friend-a-renos,

Our latest BFF update is liiive and the spotlight is all on Myk Raver. Just as we did with Little Lars, we've added some new cards, hama chains, cosmetics and a lovely skin for our feathered friend. Here's all the new cards coming in today's update.

• Extra Cards: Draw cards from your deck
  
• Card Profaner: Draw cards from your graveyard
  
• Hot Potato: Pass it around or it will explode in your hands
  
• Lottery Ticket: A chance to win some cards
  
• Card Thief: Steal from your rival's hand
  

But we've also done something a little bit extra special.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Because the sun's out and Myk is definitely one for a beautiful view, we've added a brand new map to help Myk - and all of you - get into a sparkling, summery mood.

Introducing The Island! A special, tropically themed environment that makes for fast-paced, fun-filled matchups - whether it's 1v1 or 2v2 - has been added to the rotation.



New maps won't be the norm in our BFF Updates - please understand, we're a small team - though there'll be much more content to come in the weeks and months ahead, including our Premium Expansions.

However, we've put this extra-special treat together to say thank you for all of your amazing support since launch and to celebrate being in the Steam Summer Sale (we're STILL 33% OFF did you know?). On this occasion, we figured we'd offer something a little bit different.

Here's the full breakdown of what's in this update

• 5 New Cards
  
• 3 New Hama Chains
  
• 10 New Avatars
  
• New Skin: Myk Raver
  
• New Map: The Island
  

We cannot wait to see you duke it out on The Island and get in the summer spirit with Friends vs Friends. Be sure to send us your screenshots, videos, streams and everything else in-between.

🌟We're back, Friends!🌟

Can you believe it's already been a whole month since we unleashed Friends vs Friends?! We are absolutely thrilled and beyond thankful for the incredible reception it has received from you all!

As we continue to work on the game, please know that we couldn't have done it without you, and we can't wait to bring you even more chaos in the future!

[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]

You might've guessed that there's a new update around the corner... and you're totally right!

We now shift focus to our second BFF Update, which centers around one of the playable characters in FvF. Myk Raver will be receiving a brand new skin and we'll also add 5 of their favorite cards!



We're also very excited to share a little tropical surprise in the update as well *wink* wink*



Myk Raver's BFF Update will drop next Thursday, July 6th!

[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown.

I'm starting to lose my marbles here! Can you believe the number of shirts I've got piling up, crying out for a good pressing!? It's getting out of hand! If only there was an affordable option, ruled by a charming laundry guru with a twinkle in their eye. A place where my poor shirts could receive VIP treatment without draining my bank account...

Hahaha - imagine if I just did the laundry myself!? Ha! That's just ludicrous! I mean, come on, I'm the Mayor for Pete's sake! Can you imagine the headlines?

Until next time, that’s been me, the Mayor of Friendtown - and you’ve been reading the Mayor’s Message.
