Toy Smash Kaboom! news & patch notes

Hello there!

It's been a little while since we last talked about the new hero in development. Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

Now we're excited to officially announce that our fifth hero is nearly complete! She'll be joining battle next week on July 17. (Please refer to the announcement on the day for the exact update time.)

Before they make their official debut, we'd like to give you a first look at this new companion and the exciting new things she'll be bringing!

❄️ Hero #5: Frost Hunter

Our newest hero hails from a distant, frozen wilderness.

Raised among mammoths, polar bears, and wolves, she learned to survive and hunt alongside the beasts of the tundra. Through endless polar nights and relentless snowstorms, she also mastered the ancient magic of ice.

Now, she and her companions from the frozen wilds are ready to join the battles!

Like our previous heroes, the Frost Hunter features two completely different classes: Beast Tamer and Frost Maiden.

Alongside the new hero, you'll also discover dozens of new items and recipes, opening up even more build possibilities.

Class 1: Beast Tamer

Beast Tamer embraces the untamed power of the frozen wilderness, building an army of mammoths, polar bears, and wolves to overwhelm the battlefield.

This update also introduces a brand-new mechanic: Sharpness. Units with Sharpness inflict Wounds whenever they attack, and subsequent attacks can exploit those wounds to deal even greater damage.

In addition, a new item Fossil lets some familiar faces undergo a rather... prehistoric transformation.

By combining a Fossil with toys such as the Kangaroo or Rhino, they can evolve back into their ancient ancestors, gaining entirely new stats and abilities.

Class 2: Frost Maiden

If the Beast Tamer embodies the spirit of the frozen wilderness, the Frost Maiden showcases her mastery of ice magic.

This class focuses on freezing the battlefield with powerful ice magic, applying Slow and the class-exclusive Freeze effect to control enemies. Her magic is so potent that even opponents who seem to have the upper hand may find themselves unable to move.

At the same time, Penguins and Slimes become her trusted allies. By making use of water-themed items, they can unleash a relentless stream of attacks, keeping enemies constantly under pressure.

One of the joys of Toy Smash Kaboom! has always been the freedom to experiment with your own ideas.

This update also introduces several new neutral items, including Super Soaker, Ice Sword, Freezing Shield, and Pirate Parrot. How you make the most of them, and what powerful synergies you'll discover, is entirely up to you.

QoL Improvements

In addition to the new hero and dozens of new items, the next update will also introduce two highly requested quality-of-life features:

• Replay: After each match, you'll be able to replay the battle and watch both teams clash again. Due to battle randomness, replay results may differ from the original outcome. But the original match result will always remain unchanged.

• Ban: We're also adding a Ban feature. Through a specific mechanic, you'll be able to exclude unwanted items from appearing in future shops, giving you more control over your builds.

We'll share more details about these features on update day, so stay tuned!

Development of the new content is now in its final polishing stage, and it won't be long before you can finally meet our newest hero from the frozen wilderness.

Thank you once again for all your support and encouragement. From launch to the arrival of our fifth hero, every step has taken has been made possible by your feedback and passion.

We hope you enjoy the update, and we'll see you soon!

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since revealing our upcoming new character, and we've been hard at work developing and testing new content.

This new character will focus more heavily on building teams around allied summons and gaining powerful long-term combat advantages through a brand-new special Buff system.

You may find yourself leading a wolf pack into battle alongside a mighty Wolf King, combining the powers of Penguins and Polar Bears to unleash icy magic, sheltering behind Mammoths as they protect their allies, while War Horns and Battle Drums inspire the entire team to fight harder and stronger.

We can't wait to share them with you soon!

In addition, during the Steam Summer Sale (June 25 – July 9), both the base game and DLC will be available at 20% OFF, marking a new all-time low discount. This discount will also remain available for a period of time after the upcoming update launches.

Base Game:

DLC:

If your friends have been waiting for the right moment to jump in, or if you're looking to complete your DLC collection, this will be the perfect opportunity!

As always, thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

Hello everyone,

We will be rolling out a balance update today. The detailed adjustments have been compiled below—feel free to check them out.

But more importantly, we're excited to finally share news about the brand-new character you've all been waiting for!

She is both a legendary hunter from the Ice Age and a master of water magic, capable of controlling all forms, and even freezing everything in her path.

Her collection of beast toys includes mighty creatures like mammoths, dinosaurs, and bears, as well as adorable water-themed companions such as slimes and penguins.

With her immense magical power, she can create an entire water park, or even summon a massive bubble domain that envelops the entire battlefield!

These are part of the content that is still in development. We're continuing to refine gameplay experience, visual presentation, and build diversity to ensure the highest possible quality.

We'll be sharing more updates on this new character soon, so stay tuned to meet the latest addition to the Toy House and her companions!

In addition, the game will be part of a special sale from April 24 to May 6, with 15% off both the base game and DLC:

If your friends are still on the fence, or if you've been thinking about completing your DLC collection, now's a great time to jump in!

Thank you again for your continued support!

Hello everyone,

With the release of the new version, the base game will also join the Steam PvP Fest with a limited-time 15% OFF discount for two weeks.

If you already own the base game, check out our newly released "Deluxe Bundle" (Base Game + DLC) to enjoy stacked discounts on the new skins!

We've also teamed up with two incredible titles, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles and Backpack Battles, to bring you special crossover bundles! Whether you're expanding your own library or recommending the game to a friend, there's no better time to jump into the battles!

To make your battles even more fun, this update introduces over 30 brand-new toys and Class Ability items, along with a new gameplay mode featuring 10+ exclusive items. Whether you're a hardcore tactician or just here for wild, chaotic builds, we can't wait to see the creative strategies you come up with in this new version!

At the same time, new skin DLCs for all four playable characters are now available.

The DLC is purely cosmetic and completely optional. The skins are small digital goodies for those who wish to support our development. As long as the new version brings you joy, we are more than satisfied!

Without further ado, let's dive in and take a look at the detailed updates of Version 1.1.0!

1.The Real "Casual Mode" Has Arrived!

Looking for a break from the ranked ladder? Our brand-new Casual Mode is here (the previous Casual Mode has been renamed to Training Mode).

Accessible via "Start" in the main menu, this new mode features exclusive toys, unique class abilities, and randomly triggered special events.

Epic Boss Encounters: At specific waves, exclusive bosses will appear (veterans of our community challenges might recognize them!).

Strategic Preview: A boss indicator in the bottom-right corner will let you preview enemy lineups so you can plan your counter strategy.

This mode is designed for over-the-top, unrestrained gameplay. You'll encounter items with absurdly powerful effects that drastically reshape the battlefield.

The mode will still allow you to generate and share lineup codes after a run.

However, since its mechanics and values are deliberately more "unrestrained" compared to previous modes, lineup codes shared from this mode will be clearly labeled to distinguish them.

We hope this new mode lets everyone set aside the pressure, unwind, and fully enjoy the pure fun of experimentation and chaos!

2.New Toys Join the Battle!

We've expanded the battlefield with 30+ new toys, primarily focusing on extensions for Undead, Note, Alien, and Building types.

We can't wait to see how these newcomers deepen your strategic compositions!

3.New Class Ability Items

Additionally, 10+ new class ability items have been added.

Whether you specialize in Swordsman, Poison, Note, Clockwork, or Undead builds, you'll find new tools to optimize your economy, control the board, or sustain your team.

4.Free Spring Festival Cosmetics

As a small gift for the season, free Spring Festival-themed cosmetics are now available!

Head to Main Menu → Dairy → Skin to deck out your toy room in festive cheer.

New Paid Skin DLC: The Villains Alliance

To ring in the New Year, we've prepared "Dark Side" cosmetics for our four heroes. The DLC pack includes character skins and a profile skin.

Before you visit the store, check out the new entry point on the main menu to read short comics that reveal the stories behind these "villainous" outfits!

We hope these outfits offer more than just a visual refresh, adding a touch of storytelling and depth to the companions through these small narrative glimpses.

Hello everyone!

Our team has been working hard to prepare a massive content update, arriving just in time for the upcoming Spring Festival!

As we've previously teased, this update introduces 30+ brand-new toy items and class abilities, along with a new gameplay mode featuring over a dozen exclusive items. We can't wait for you to jump in and experience a fresh, exciting twist on our “auto-battler fighting" mechanics!

Alongside this update, we are also releasing a Skin DLC featuring four playable characters. This DLC is purely cosmetic and will not affect gameplay or balance. While we sincerely appreciate anyone who chooses to purchase it to support our development, please know that the core update is for everyone to enjoy. We are deeply grateful to every player who has supported us on this journey.

The update will go live on February 9. A 15% OFF discount on the base game will also be available for two weeks. If you already own the base game, purchasing the DLC via the new bundle will grant you an additional discount!

Without further ado, let's dive into the details of what's coming!

1.Brand New Toy Items Join the Battlefield!

The Spring Festival update introduces more than a dozen new toy items, most of which are expanded and reimagined combinations based on existing item types such as Undead, Notes, Aliens, and Construction.

We hope these new items will open up more possibilities for your lineups and make strategic combinations even more fun and diverse!

(WIP)

2.New Class Abilities

To provide a richer hero experience, we've prepared over a dozen new class abilities, bringing fresh combat strategies to the table! These items do more than just grant abilities; they enhance specific playstyles. Whether you specialize in Swordsman, Poison, Notes, Clockwork, or Undead, you'll find new ways to fortify your strategy.

Additionally, we've introduced new ability items focused on control, economy, and healing. Some help you dictate the flow of battle, others improve resource efficiency, and some boost survivability. The combinations are yours to explore!

(WIP)

3.The REAL "Casual Mode" Has Arrived!

Feeling a bit exhausted after Ranked Mode? It's time for a change of pace!

This update introduces an entirely new gameplay mode designed to be a truly relaxing Casual experience (the current Casual Mode will be renamed to Training Mode).

You can find the mode entry by clicking "Start" in the bottom-right corner of the main menu. In this mode, you'll encounter exclusive toy items, class abilities, and special events found nowhere else.

At certain waves, you will face exclusive Boss enemies. Players who participated in our past Community Challenges might find these foes familiar!

A quick note on this mode:

All items and mechanics in this mode are uniquely tuned for this experience, so lineup codes cannot be generated or shared for these matches.

We will continue to refine this mode based on your feedback, so please share your thoughts with us!

4.Free Spring Festival Cosmetics

A new year deserves a new look! We've prepared free Spring Festival-themed cosmetic items to instantly fill your Toy House with festive vibes.

5.Free Soundtrack Release

Many of you have asked if the game's music would be released separately. We're happy to announce that we are organizing the Soundtrack, including the brand-new interface music from this update. It will be available for free download!

Paid Skin DLC: A New Look for a New Year

As we bid farewell to the old year, we've prepared brand-new outfits for four of our companions, featuring a distinct style from previous skins.

As our future roadmap (including the new heroes mentioned previously) will continue to be delivered via free updates, we have decided to release these four skins as our first paid DLC.

Please note: This Skin DLC is completely optional and does not affect game balance or core mechanics. It is simply an extra option for players who enjoy customization and collecting. If you choose to support us, we would be incredibly grateful!

But more than anything, we simply hope you enjoy the new content and that it brings a bit of extra fun and freshness to your gaming time.

Toy Smash Kaboom! is our very first game. As a small studio, we know there is still much to refine, but the enthusiasm and encouragement we've received since launch truly mean the world to us.

We carefully read community feedback and sincerely thank every player who has spent time in our world.

As always, feel free to leave your feedback and suggestions in a Steam review. We'd love to hear from you!

Hello everyone!

We've just released the 1.0.10 update. Please find the details below.

Adjustments

Knockback RES Display

Knockback Resistance is now displayed and calculated as a percentage (e.g., 50% means it can resist half of the knockback effect), with a maximum cap of 80%. Corresponding adjustments have also been made to buffs related to knockback, such as "Gain Weight" and "Enlarge".

Hello there,

It's already been two weeks since the toy room opened its doors. During this time, one of our greatest joys has been watching the wildly imaginative builds and toy combinations you've all come up with.

Take the Community Challenge we just launched yesterday, for example:

Right after the update went live, many players immediately started experimenting with creative strategies, rapidly "intensifying" the speedrun meta, some even caused the Boss to have an existential crisis.

That said, if lightning-fast clears aren't your thing, don't worry! We also place great value on "Creative Build".

As long as your setup is clever, surprising, or just plain fun to watch, you'll still have a chance to win rewards!

And of course, if you have anything you'd like to share with us, feel free to leave a review on the Steam store page. That's the most direct way for us to hear from you: every word of encouragement truly motivates us, and every suggestion will be carefully read and taken into account for future improvements.

Moving forward, we’re excited to share what’s next for the game’s development:

2025 Q4

In the final stretch of 2025, we'll continue focusing on community engagement and balance:

• Community Event: The official "beat the devs" challenge is already live! Can you defeat the Boss with your genius placement and strategy?

• New Toys & More Class Abilities: We'll keep expanding the pool of toy items and abilities, so there's always something new to explore.

• More Languages Available: Making sure more players around the world can join the toy brawl!

2026 Q1

• Match Replay: Rewatch those brilliant (or hilarious) moments, learn from top players' placements, and share your clutch plays with a single click.

• New Game Mode: Tired of careful calculations in Ranked? We're planning a mode where power scaling goes completely off the rails! With massive buffs and high randomness, enjoy pure, unpredictable chaos.

• Free Festive Cosmetics: New year, new look! We'll bring you free cosmetics to dress up your toy world for spring!

• Hero Skin DLC: Stay tuned!

2026 Q2 and Beyond: Infinite Possibilities

• In Q2, we plan to introduce a new hero. While the concept is still being finalized, this character may have a strong connection with "Water-type" items. Our goal is to expand your tactical toolkit with innovative mechanics that remain intuitive and easy to learn.

• Ongoing gameplay refinements and new mechanic explorations to bring even more renewed experiences to Toy Smash Kaboom!.

Note: The above reflects our current development plans. Actual content and timelines may be adjusted based on progress. If you feel there's anything we could improve, you're always welcome to join our official Discord and let us know your feedbacks!

Hello everyone!

We've rolled out Version 1.0.5 today, which includes fixes for several known issues and a round of balance adjustments (full details below).

But more importantly… the dev team couldn't resist joining the battle! 👊

🏆 Community Challenge Event

A Challenge Letter from the Dev Team:

We've been watching you in communities and across social media passionately theorycrafting, testing builds, and challenging each other.

While learning a lot from you, we also found ourselves couldn't help but jump into the action — after all, how could such a lively tabletop battlefield be missing the developers?

That said… after seeing what you toy masters are capable of, we knew we couldn't just walk in unprepared.

So, to avoid being instantly defeated, we decided to unleash developer power — We've "cheated" a little to create two defender lineups, each featuring mysterious new toys, and put them up as a challenge for everyone!

The arena is set. Come and knock us off the throne!

Defender Lineups

We've prepared two lineups for you to challenge. Feel free to take on either one!

\ Boss_1:

\ Boss_2:

Challenge Entry

Rewards

• Lightning Fast (1 Winner)

  •   Defeat \ Boss_1 in the shortest time. (If tied, the lineup with the lower total cost wins)

• Best Value (1 Winner) Defeat \ Boss_2 using the lowest-cost lineup.

• Creative Build (5 Winners) Selected from all submissions that defeat the dev lineups, based on creativity and effectiveness!

Each winner receives a Steam gift card worth $10.

All winning lineups will be added to Challenge Mode, allowing all players to try them out!

Event Period

The event will begin following the completion of the Version 1.0.5 update and end on December 31 (PST)

Dear players,

We plan to restart our online servers on December 14 at 12am PST for server optimization.

The maintenance is expected to take around 10 minutes.

Ongoing matches will not be interrupted, but lineup uploads will be temporarily unavailable during that time. Everything will return to normal once the server is back online.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi everyone!

It's been just a week since Toy Smash Kaboom! officially launched, and we want to express our heartfelt thanks for all your support. To celebrate the festive season, we've prepared a small holiday gift:

Free Christmas-themed table and scene skins are now available!

After updating the game, you can change it via Main Menu → Diary (bottom-left) → Memory Film (bottom-left).

We hope this brings a bit of warmth and winter cheer to your matches!

But of course, beyond festive surprises, we know what matters most, and what everyone cares about the most, is the gameplay experience. With this update, we continue focusing on balance based on the feedback many of you have shared.

Focus of This Update: Balance & Gameplay Improvements

From recent community discussions and reviews, we've received a lot of valuable insights about numerical balance and the relative strength of different builds.

For an asynchronous PvP game that emphasizes strategy and counterplay, balance tuning is an ongoing process, every adjustment may create new experiences. But rest assured: we are always carefully listening to all of your voices.

This update mainly focuses on two key goals:

• Smoother Match Flow: We've made adjustments to mechanics that felt too strong or too weak, ensuring more builds can consistently shine.

• Enhanced Strategic Depth: We want every battle to be more than just a clash of numbers, but a test of team-building, positioning, and timing.

We promise to maintain a steady update pace and continue improving the overall experience.

In addition, we will soon be sharing our upcoming Roadmap, including new gameplay ideas and deeper strategic directions.

We hope this will make every build you create, and every battle you fight, richer in possibilities and tactical options.

New Features

• Free Christmas-themed scene & table skins are now available!

• Added more community-submitted lineup codes to Challenge Mode.

• Added Russian language support.

Adjustments

• Optimized the Wormhole Zone roll mechanism: item rolls now tend to provide options with similar value.

• You can now view item recipe in the Challenge Mode Archive.

• Adjusted the drop rates for each quality to make Common items easier to obtain during the mid and late stages.

• Updated the descriptions for Hamster Hole, Hamster Mansion, Tombstone, Graveyard, and Gacha Machine to clarify that their summoned units will not inherit buff effects from the original items.

• Fixed a problem where Cookie Master could repeatedly add a "Food" tag to items that already had one.

We'll be paying attention to how matches feel after this update, and we'll carefully review every piece of feedback from the community. Further fine-tuning and improvements will continue in the upcoming versions.

Hi everyone,

Since launch, we’ve been carefully reading all your discussions and feedback, from the amazing lineup codes shared in the community to concerns about shop roll rates, balance, and the rank requirements for certain events.

With the goal of making builds more stable and the overall experience more friendly, this update focuses on reducing negative randomness and improving game flow and build depth.

To achieve this, we’ve made several optimizations to the Archive, item/hero pool mechanics, and unlock conditions for special events, helping your choices and builds align more closely with your expetitions, while still keeping the fun, surprises, and possibilities that randomness brings.

We’ll continue reading your feedback and will keep polishing these systems moving forward. Thank you for your patience and support!
