Goo Gladiators News

Hey everyone! Just put out another update with some quality of life changes that just barely missed the last update :) Here's the highlights
[h3]Updated images!!!![/h3]
We have redrawn EVERY item in the game to be significantly higher resolution!! As well as upscaled some other buttons in the lab to make them all scale better on bigger screens.




[h3] Mutate helpers [/h3]
We have also added a highly requested feature of an icon showing what a goo is about to be mutated into when applying an item! This will help you not have to memorize all 80+ of the mutations now in the game



[h3] full(ish) Patch notes & other notes[/h3]
Expect Updates more frequently to close out the year compared to the long time between updates we saw the first part of the year :) stay tuned for some GOOd Stuff.

[h3]1.15.1[/h3]

• Updated all Item images
  
• Updated some Lab UI icons
  
• Added new display for what an item will mutate a goo into
  
• Fixed potential crash when in private match goopendium

• Fixed the click area not matching the goo perfectly on the run start menu
  

Hey! Long time no see. We have been in the lab cooking up the largest update ever for Goo Gladiators. Over 20 new goos new items and some nice 'quality of life' improvements. Lets get into it!

Omni Goos

We have added a new group of Goos! These new Goos have come to mix up the arena. They work differently than the base game goos as instead of mutating multiple times (Base goo -> Golem -> Moss For example.) The goos you can get will vary depending on the base goo you use!



You start with two base Omni Goos, your next two base goos you get have an Extra eye untill you get to the third that has three eyes and physic powers! Each Omni goo will mutate differently depending on what goo they are. Omni with one eye given a paint pallet will turn into something different than one with three eyes for example! With this all goos in the Omni goo group are all one of four new Types of goos, Omni, Space, Art or Food. Food goos are not meant for eating, but for battle in the gladiatorial arena.

Arena Run Changes

Starting a new Run has been changed!



You now can pick your Goos you want to do a run with with at the start of each run. This will make it easier to swap between strategies quickly without having to go to the storeroom in the lab to change them out.



As well have changed how Private Matches work. Previously each player would pick their own Goos to play with. Now we have changed it to where the Host will pick the goos that the whole match will play with! This will let anyone in the match use the Host's Goos even if they haven't unlocked them.

Other new things

We have added a ton more new small improvements and new things throughout the game. Three new background. The surface of a planet (for the new space goos) A kitchen (for the new food goos) and lastly an art museum for the art goos! (Featuring some familiar faces)

On top of that we have added some new Icons headlined by the lovely Cocoa Puff.

Lastly we have gone through and made a lot of the interface of the game scale a lot nicer on larger screens. So you no longer have to squint to see goos on your extra large monitor!

Final Thoughts and what is next!?

As always thank you all so much for enjoying Goo Gladiators watching all the cool teams that you guys have sent into the arena is one of our favorite things to do. If you have something new would you like to see in the game please don't hesitate to let us know here on the Steam Forums or on our Discord. For the rest of the year we want to have at least one more big update that would include a new game mode and some more new Goos for ALL of the existing goo groups. Also do expect a few small update once we figure out some more of the balance with the new Goos!

[h2]Full(ish) Patch Notes[/h2]
[h3]1.15.0[/h3]

• Added new Goo Group: Omni Goos: 24 new goos, New Base Goo(s), New Items!
  
• Added a screen when starting your run to pick what goos you want to play with
  
• Added 3 new backgrounds
  
• Added tons of new Icons
  
• Added new battle soundtrack and new menu soundtrack.
  
• Added Toggle to choose to play with just your base goo or with both base goos (Omni & Default)
  
• Changed lab background and main menu background to celebrate the Omni Goos
  
• Changed: In private matches the Host will now pick the same set of goos the whole lobby will play with (this will unlock all goos that the host has for everyone for that match)
  
• Changed: Goos picked at the start of the run will stay through the run. This fixes an exploit where you could change them by 'exiting' and re-entering a run and swapping goos
  
• Changed: Tons of UI scaling to better fit on larger screens.
  
• Changed: Goopendium to lock into you selected goos/items properly to account for new Omni/Default goos tree.
  
• Fixed: Bug where unlocking achievements would sometimes not save properly
  
• Fixed: Bug that made quests not save near the end of the day work properly
  
• Fixed: some visual bugs where 'KO'd" goos would not show the proper animation
  
• Fixed: bug where some of the goopendium alignments were off.
  

The title really says it all.. As long promised we finally have Gooin on the go! Goo Gladiators is out now on the iOS App store!! Your accounts, progress & gameplay all transfer 100% between the Steam and Mobile version. Thank you all for staying with goo the past year and a half, we are just getting started. Hope to see you on Mobile soon :)

Another goo update just went out. This update has tons of balance changes and bug fixes and even a few cool new features. Lets get right into it.


The area has been reset as many goos have been buffed or reworked. Firstly heres some nerdy stats brought to you by nerdy birdy

All Goos last Arena (expect intermediate goos like seed, tadpole & burning) Got some wins in the arena!
Here are the one who had the most luck:

[h3]Top 6:[/h3]
(1) Flirx
(2) Meow
(3) Snaim
(4) Swampy
(5 -T) Nerdy Birdy
(5 -T) Frumptun

With all the recent buffs to fire goos in recent updates it seems to have paid off for the Flirx as it had the most luck in the arena with the highest win rate of all goos!

Most of the rest of the goos were pretty close in the middle of the pack, however there were some goos who fizzled out at the bottom!

[h3]Bottom 6:[/h3]
(0) Cha-boom
(1) Chomper
(2) Yolki
(3) Mooshy
(4) Bubble
(5) Jack
(6) Kite

Cha-boom even with its recent re-works only won in the arena ONCE since the last balance update (with around 15k matches happening since then, that's not a good look) We decided to give these goos a little bit of love in this update.

Bubble and Mooshy are both goos that come into play in the mid - late game. They used to be painfully slow at 3 speed so upping their speed to 4 and giving them a bit more attack and health should help them be able to catchup with some of the other goos at that stage of the game! As well Mooshy's Mushroom summons will be a little faster and have a little more attack!

Kite, Chomper, Yolki and Jacks all had buffs to their abilities buffed as their stats are not bad. Kite now will also give +5 ATK to Flying goos as well as Electrik goos after being hit. Jacks as well now gives 13 HP to fresh summons instead of the 10 it did before! (This will also help Mooshy be more viable when they are combined) Lastly Chomper and Yolki's abilities got better giving slightly more HP for both of their abilities.

And for the big bomb in the room, Cha-boom got a major buff and now starts with 40 HP (up from 30) , 20 ATK (up from 16) and also now starts with 1 Defense! So it will now have an easier time staying alive long enough to go off in later rounds!


We added a ton of community suggested 'ease of use' improvements to the game this update! You can now see the type and starting stats of goos in the Goopendium, as well we now have a special section in the item list for Items got from goos (bubble, sap, ect)

As well we have made it easier to join friend's private matches! Adding a 'join game' button below them if you have them on your friends list.

Ever been in a match and forgetting how many wins or losses you have at that point? Worry no more! as we now show your current run stats on the battle menu as well.


Lastly we have added a Global replays to the replays menu! It will show the most recent Arena wins and the Teams they have won with, Go here to gloat or try to get some ideas from Teams that are winning in the arena!


The next update is going to be the biggest update in the history of the game! We will have over 20 new goos, 4 new goo types a new game mode and TONS of new content :) Thank you guys so much for the support that you have shown Goo Gladiators the past Year and a half the love and support you have shown these creatures means the world to me
