  Fixes and improvements

  Hello Crawlers,we have new batch of fresh changes and bug fixes! So, these ugly critters should be now smashed:• Destroying a Gamble Chest caused its tooltip to remain stuck on the UI permanently • Timed spikes and pull‑out spikes dealt damage during rotation in moments when they shouldn’t • Completing Endurance March showed 110 levels on the leaderboard instead of 111 • Shop prices in Endurance March scaled incorrectly • Ending the Bubble power‑up accidentally removed your Temporary Invincibility as well • Endurance run bosses didn’t drop any health loot • Our helper mechanic that makes jumping near tile edges easier was being blocked by bridges • Small frogs didn’t display the frozen visual effect when frozen by things like the Ice Shooter • Wooden spikes couldn’t be destroyed by projectiles when standing right next to them • Standing close to a hook tile and grabbing it while holding an item prevented the item from dropping • The Wind Tower level mistakenly contained a cursed heart and a key from testing • Fire gel turned into ice gel when frozen instead of turning into a magma tile • There was a level where an echinus slid into gel and blocked the pathThat's all for now. Have fun!

  Hello Crawlers,We’ve got another patch for you and this one is packed. No, seriously! Take a look.

  A One-Time Challenge Launches Weekly Sprints

  The full version of Pit Panic introduces a new way to compete that you did not encounter in the demo: Weekly Sprints. Weekly Sprints will take place regularly, giving players the opportunity to complete a special run, improve their time throughout the week, and compete for the best position on the leaderboard. To launch this new feature, the first event is a special one-time Weekly Challenge. It follows the same basic rules as future Weekly Sprints, but comes with a unique reward: up to 20 of the best players across all platforms will have their names immortalized inside Pit Panic. Once you have completed the base game, you can enter the challenge and compete for the fastest completion time. You have the whole week to finish your run, return to the challenge, and improve your result before the deadline. After this special Weekly Challenge ends, regular Weekly Sprints will continue. You will still be able to compete for leaderboard positions, but the opportunity to have your name added to the game applies only to this one-time event. How does it work? Complete the base game to unlock the Weekly Challenge. Enter the current challenge and finish it as quickly as possible. Replay the challenge to improve your time. Record your best result before the deadline. Challenge deadline Czechia: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 01:00 CEST Great Britain: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 00:00 BST Japan: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 08:00 JST USA – Pacific Time: Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 16:00 PDT USA – Eastern Time: Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 19:00 EDT China: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 07:00 CST We will select the top 20 players across all platforms and announce the results after the challenge ends. Get your name set in stone To celebrate this special one-time Weekly Challenge, we want to honor the players who prove themselves. Up to 20 of the best players across all platforms combined will have their names immortalized inside Pit Panic. Their names will be set in stone in a rare in-game level ...
