Hello everyone! We're happy to announce that TABS Pocket Edition multiplayer beta test will start this Friday (26th of June) on Android and iOS.

Pre-save for Android

Hello all Wobblers!

We know you're all eager for more news about TABS, at the moment the game is getting ported to mobile which is launching in August. Other than that, we're not making any more updates to TABS in the foreseeable future.

Some of the Landfall team, took a break from our new main game HASTE to go to a game-jam - this time with Another Crab's Treasure devs Aggro Crab and the result was PEAK! We think that some of you who loved the physics of TABS and TABG will enjoy this game as well.

PEAK is a co-op climbing game where the slightest mistake can spell your doom. Either solo or as a group of lost nature scouts, your only hope of rescue from a mysterious island is to scale the mountain at its center. Do you have what it takes to reach the PEAK?

Check out PEAK

Hello everyone! We just announced two things, one - TABS Pocket Edition is finally coming to mobile later this year and two we just released a new game called HASTE!

TABS Pocket Edition!

HASTE

Hello wobblers! Here’s a patch fixing some of the issues with the workshop units as well as giving the ice giant and minotaur back their clothes!

Patch Notes:

• Removed the workshop refresh button binding option in the settings. This prevents a possible workshop refresh bug when trying to access the workshop.
• Fixed the Minotaur shoulder pad and the missing ice giant belt.
• Right Banshee upper arm bands can now be coloured in the unit creator.

• Factions that contain unsupported units can now be added to the faction bar. However, when attempting to place an unsupported unit a new error message will show explaining how to fix the unsupported unit.
• Alternatively, you can disable the unsupported unit safety checks in the Gameplay settings menu using the Validate Custom Content setting.

Hello everyone! Together with Super Rare and Makeship, we’re releasing two pieces of limited edition merch!

Raptor Plushie

TABS Physical Collectors Edition

Hello everyone! It’s time for Landfall Day and this year we’re releasing not 1, not 4 but 23 different games and projects as its own little experience!

Landfall Archives is free and can be found here!

Especially interesting for TABS players is that Landfall Archives contain a TABS build from 2017 with the 2.0 physics system before it was scrapped in favor of the current 3.0 system. It’s a look at where TABS was in development 6 years ago, it’s a bit buggy but we hope you will enjoy it!

To celebrate Landfall Day most of our games are also 50-90% off on steam! So if there’s one you’ve been eager to play, now is the time. You can find all of our games here!
