[p]Disconnect Issue Fixed

We've just pushed a new build live to address the disconnect issue that surfaced with yesterday's update.

Thank you for all your support 💚[/p]

[p]Goblins! 👋[/p][p]Two new levels are ready for you and your friends to clean, as our second Content Update is OUT NOW for Goblin Cleanup![/p][p]Before we jump into the full patch notes for the update, here are the exciting main additions arriving in our New Levels Update...[/p][p][/p][h3]🆕 The Forge & The Volcano[/h3][p]In this update, we're welcoming two new levels to Goblin Cleanup, in the Forge and the Volcano! 🔨🌋[/p][p]The Forge is a scorching level, where you'll need to navigate the lava. Find and restore leavers around the Forge to control the level of the lava around this new map. Controlling the lava levels brings new challenges for you and your friends, alongside the obstacle of giant hammers, which are best avoided! 👀[/p][p][/p][p]It's overflowing in our second lava-ly new level, the Volcano. You'll need to get up close and personal to the lava in this level, avoiding it and utilising the new Pipe feature to do so! Fire yourself into the air with the Pipes to move around this level for maximum cleaning efficiency. And it's not just the lava that you'll be getting close to, as we have a new monster. Get too close, and it will blow up! So, tell your friends to avoid them, or you'll have extra cleaning to do.[/p][p][/p][h3]💾 Mid-Level Saving[/h3][p]A highly requested feature we've implemented in this update is Mid-Level Saving! Now, if a player disconnects from the lobby or you're halfway through cleaning a level and have some IRL cleaning to do, you can now save your level progress and return later to continue cleaning up the dungeons![/p][p]To do this, press the new Save option in the main menu during a level. Next time you come to select a level to play, your recent level progress will be saved. Select Continue and re-enter the level with your reset percentage in tact and progress saved![/p][p](tell your friend with awful internet about this one 😉)[/p][p][/p][h3]🎅 Festive Themed Goblin Cosmetics[/h3][p]To celebrate the Festive season, we've added new cosmetic items to customise your very own Goblin maid. Select your hairstyle, hat, body, Slimop, and more to create the Goblin of your dreams!

The Jolly Elf Body & Legs, Toy Maker Body & Legs, Snow Globe Managon, Krampus' Curse Hat, and more are all new for our latest update and allow you to customise your Goblin and celebrate the festive season in style.[/p][p][/p][h3]🗾 Japanese Localisation[/h3][p]We're extremely excited for the game to be experienced with Japanese localisation with our latest update. This addition is right on time for you to explore our two new levels and our many other new features in the Japanese language![/p][p]We plan to continue supporting Japanese in future patches and hotfixes for Goblin Cleanup, making improvements to our game's localisation, and ensuring that the game is optimised in all the languages we are localised in![/p][p][/p][h3]💚 Accessibility Additions[/h3][p]We've made two new accessibility additions in our latest update by implementing toggle on and off options in the game's settings for both Arachnophobia Mode and Misophonia Mode.[/p][p]When Arachnophobia Mode is activated, the character models of spiders are altered. This includes removing some textures from their character models, including their legs.[/p][p]For Misophonia Mode, we've reduced loud sounds, which includes changes to the sound effect of the Mimic when eating meat when active.[/p][p][/p][h3]🗺️ And that's not all![/h3][p]Alongside these new levels and fresh additions, we've also been fine-tuning our co-op cleaning simulator. Our latest update brings bug fixes and optimisations to Goblin Cleanup, with more improvements and new content arriving throughout 2026![/p][p]In the upcoming days, we'll be releasing our 2026 Roadmap across our Goblin Cleanup social media channels and here on Steam.
