Tooth and Tail News

HUGE Story Mode patch -- we've now got a Standard, non-random campaign and leaderboards! Players can choose to play Standard, Random, or with a Custom Seed.

When playing Standard, you can compete on leaderboards for time and score! Rank on the leaderboard is determined by your time in hundredths of seconds, plus the total food value lost over the course of the mission, minus your net worth at the end of the mission. Scores where your final net worth exceeds the total food value lost are displayed with a "+" before them. Leaderboards didn't make it to the PS4 build this patch, sorry!



If Story Mode isn't what floats your boat, there's also some balance changes and a major revision to map generation. Have fun!

With a big patch in the rearview and a couple of big patches on the horizon, it was time for a small balance patch with a few quality of life improvements and bug fixes.

• Gristmill starting health reduced to 7.5 HP (was 22.5). Added a 1 second sell timer
  
• Campfires must now be stood upon to build them. This allows you to build moles and landmines next to them without having to build them.
  
• Unit collision radius reduced to 0.4 tile radius (was 0.5) - this was done to improve retreating -- units in the rear don't get pushed back quite so much. You may notice units will tend to bunch up a little more!
  
• Squirrel - 0.4 second movement freeze after shooting (was 0.25), 0.25 second cast time, 0.75 second cooldown (was 0 second cast, 1 second cooldown)
  
• Mole - 21 HP (was 20)
  
• Chameleon - 38 HP (was 36)
  
• Falcon - 16 HP (was 15)
  
• Snake - 30 HP (was 28)
  
• Balloon - 3 second reload, 15 damage per shot (was 2 second reload, 14 damage per shot)
  

• Streamer Mode option removes the button hints from the bottom of the screen while spectating or watching replays, and hides the match progress bar behind the match time
  
• Holding the analog stick in a direction during menu navigation will scroll more quickly
  

• Targeting highlight in 2v2 fixed
  
• Increased frequency of stormy and hail weather types in multiplayer
  
• Discord Rich Presence fixed on Mac
  
• Decreased VRAM usage
  
• Looping campfire/machine gun sound after match end fixed
  

Tooth and Tail 1.2 has arrived! PS4 Crossplay, a new territory game that integrates with our Discord server, 4 new languages, and the biggest balance patch we’ve done in months. Pull up to the table, here we go!


The long-awaited PS4/PC crossplay is now live, which means PS4 players can play against Steam and GOG players and vice versa. Note that the leaderboards are still segregated by platform.


Head to the Pocketworld channel in Discord and type ’!team red’ (or green, blue, yellow) to declare yourself a member of a particular faction. When you play ranked matches, you’ll advance that faction’s territory on the map! Help your faction conquer Vyeshal and feast on your enemies!
