when is the new show? (after slime climb time)
Tomorrow! :)
time to see if all the Slimb Climb Timb training paid off
I sincerely think I have somehow gotten worse at Slimb Climb after Slimb Climb Timb

These things can take time to sort!
Yay! One I would really like to see in squad show as well is Ski Fall. I hope that'll be possible :)
Same here! Hopefully, I know that we're looking to add more in the future for sure.
So how does the slime climb scoring work is it the same as normal races or different?
Same as normal races, except if you fall into the slime you score 0 for your team.
i love slime climb but my friends suck at it :(
You can teach them the ways. Impart your wisdom.
or carry
Did you folks fix the bug where one team wins, but the other team gets the victory? Seems a little more important then adding a level to squads mode?
Those are two very different things to fix, or implement. There isn't a queue of things we do that we work through one by one; things are fixed and developed in parallel, with varying complexities needed for them, and often different disciplines and teams needed for them.
The bug you're mentioning that we'd hoped was fixed in our recent patch has continued to be investigated after yesterday's update. We're hoping to have positive information on it soon, but right now it is still being looked at extensively.
Thanx for the response.
Looking at the downvotes, your defense force is in full effect. Shame on me for saying something that puts the game in a negative light. How dare i type such blasphemy.
I know they are 2 completely different things. But why not focus on the more important stuff like this bug instead of putting a new level in a broken game mode.
Loads of people are posting vid's where they clearly won, but somehow the game decides to give the victory to a team that already lost. This is a huge problem in my opinion. But obviously i'm mistaken. My bad. Let's all rejoice and be happy that slime climb is now a squads mode level. Woohoo!
I think that the negative sentiment on the comment is probably because it's based on a bit of a misconception - additionally the incorrect victory bug you're flagging here is one that we are very vocal about looking into actively (we hate it too). The "why don't you focus on X" bit is the part I am trying my best to explain so that it helps understanding of how this works for us at the moment.
We'd hate to deny good improvements because other bugs are lingering. I am also sure many people who have been playing the game for a while know that adding these other updates fast and proactively is something a little newer to us that we've been excited to start doing. Ideally, that bug wouldn't be there right now, but it is - that doesn't mean whilst that is being looked at we shouldn't continue making improvements elsewhere.
Only 4.
3 actually - Alan isn't a CM incidentally haha!
Why do u guys have 50 different community managers?
...3?
Again. Thanx for the insightful response.
True. But you see this on alot of forums nowadays. If your critical or negative you are immediately downvoted. Even if you make a great comment or valid points. A creepy and sad development in my opinion.
I know you folks have alot on your plate. And i know it must not be easy to fix something like this. Buried in all kinds of layers of code from different updates.
It's just very frustrating to finally win a squads mode game and then losing because of some weird bug that gives the victory to a team already eliminated.
Absolutely. It's always good to add new things and improve the overall experience and enjoyment of the game. Sure. Just please focus on this horrible bug as soon as you all can and try to exile it from the game. Would make me and many other players happy campers. 👍
We hear you for sure, and I am sincerely sorry the bug has affected you. We're going to keep working on it and squish that bug for good 💪

Just looking through your posting history... I think you may be the first person to ask us to remove crowns from crown rank... so it's probably just not a feature that actually exists yet
I hate to say it, but it would probably have to happen to more people to be a priority for the devs to code it into the admin tool
I understand why hoverboard heroes can't be added in the same way.
But how come the other new round, the one where you race two laps (short circuit?) isn't available to squads? Surely that just follows the same qualify criteria as any other race round?
One way we could do Hoverboard Heroes in the short team is be be a survival round, but with a timer that ends before you get to the flippers. That way everyone who survives gets the same amount of points. Feels like a bit of shame to not get the payoff at the end but could work as a quick-win while we figure out a more elegant solution!
Could you maybe make "point checkpoints"
Every team member who passes this gets a certain amount of points. Meaning if a player falls off they won't pass anymore checkpoints which means the total team gets less points for every checkpoint they didn't make. With the final checkpoint being the flipper part?
So like if there were 5 total checkpoints each giving 10points per person the total possible score a team could get would be 200.
Checkpoints being placed after every group of obstacles, such as after the laser part, the projectiles part, low grav with slime slide, Swinging lasers and flipper finish.
As you said it would be a shame to not be able to include the full level.
Yeah, stuff like that we can totally do but doing 'custom' implementation takes time and needs a build update to go live (which has a much higher overhead for the team and slows other things down). Things like Slime Climb squads we can just do with the tools we already have and don't need a new hotfix to go live, so we prefer to do them if we can!
Understandable, I think the community would rather the levels be implemented well though rather than hot fix insertions so take your time :)
How come short circuit isn't available though?
Short Circuit is weird one because although it plays like a race it actually uses the scoring system from Hoopsie Legends. Once we implement team scoring (which we're working on) for those rounds then we can include Short Circuit too.
