Updates — Change log

Spawn bonuses, loot explosions, share links

• Spawn bonus. When a leader on the server hits a score milestone, new spawns on that server get bonus starting resources — keeping the action fast and the fights spicy. The whole server gets an announcement when a new bonus tier unlocks.
• Loot explosion. Kill a resource-rich player and their drop scatters across several pickups instead of one big pile.
• Rampage banners. Hit a big kill streak and the whole server gets a top-of-screen alert, with tiers as the streak grows.
• Share links. A new share button copies a link that drops your friends straight onto your server, on your team, with your hat.

New achievement, store, and team screens

• Achievements, power-ups, and day-streak unlocks now pop as toasts in the top-right with a one-line description.
• New chat panel in the bottom-left, with per-line mute and separate Server / Team tabs.
• New team dialog: browse public teams, create one, see members and join requests — all in-game.
• New diamond store as a native in-game dialog, no more pop-up window.
• New keys: F cycles your weapon, H toggles the hat picker.

New game client — mobile support

• A brand-new game client replaces the engine that’s powered glar.io for years.
• First real mobile build. Designed for phones — touch HUD, single-stick movement, tap-to-attack, auto-swing toggle.
• Build / Fight / Team / Hat / Shop launch from slide-out action buttons on phones; keyboard shortcuts on desktop.
• Frame rates are higher on every device, and the lobby loads faster.
• The old client still works as a fallback, but new features ship to the new one first.

White Walker night raids

• White Walkers spawn at night and raid player bases. Wander too close mid-raid and they’ll switch targets to you.
• Mounts dismount cleanly when their rider dies.
• Summoned mounts no longer linger after their owner’s heartstone fires.
• Heartstone shields disappear from teammates’ screens the moment they pop.

Player level badges

• Your player level is now visible to other players in the Hall of Fame and on player profile pages.
• High-level players get a level badge next to their name.

Swing where you're aiming

• Swings now follow your aim instead of your movement direction.
• Strafing and back-pedalling fights feel much more natural.

Anti-spam pass

• Macro spammers, chat flooders, and build spammers get cut sooner.

Less lag, smoother fights

• Hits and movement should feel noticeably tighter, especially on servers with lots of players or builds.

Power-ups

• Power-ups are timed boosts you can buy in the diamond store or earn from achievements.

• Pick one up and it activates immediately, instead of waiting for your next life.

Ostrich mount

• New mount added: Ostrich.
• Fast, low-defense mount — great for crossing the map.

/merc for everyone

• The /merc command is now available to all logged-in players, not just creators.
• Summon a mercenary to help fight or defend your base.

Flood auto-ban

• Players who flood the server with messages or actions now get a 1-hour auto-ban instead of just a kick.

Soccer fixes, dupe glitch patches, lag reduction

• Soccer Ball physics is fixed.
• Box and hat duplication glitches patched.

Crystal blocks, iron spikes, trolls

New additions:

• Crystal block — stronger for building tough bases (this + iron spike makes much harder bases).
• Crystal door.
• Iron spikes (2x damage, 1.5x health) — costs stone + gold.

• Ninja Hat — faster, almost invisible, but can’t see your health bar.
• Heal Ward — heals teammates.

  • Red — administrator / moderator.
  • Green — creator.

Sword arc returns; diagonal movement balanced
