HEY Funguys!
Welcome to the December 2025 Funguys Swarm Dev Update!
Our third major update, the Starpath Update, will go live on December 17 at 6:00 PM PST.
In this blog, we'll go over Steam capsule redesign, Shroomba and Ersa redesign, the progression overhaul, 6 new dash skills, 2 new skills, 5 treelings, and 3 new relics.
Steam Capsule Redesign
The new character, “NUTCASE,” is now featured on the capsule, and the vibe is more chaotic than ever.
Shroomba and Ersa Redesign
[Shroomba, why so serious?]
We felt Shroomba and Ersa are too plain and cute for the new vibe we're aiming for, so we gave them a more fierce look.
Starpath Improvements (Progression Overhaul)
We hear you folks. Lots of you think the game is fun, but it's too short. Well, we're changing all that. We're revamping our entire achievement progressions!
We’re completely revamping the achievement progression system.
Previously, Starpath had 56 achievements. With this update, we’re adding 47 new achievements, bringing the total to 103 achievements to unlock.
The new progression gives you clearer goals to work toward, more milestones to chase, and rewards that feel more meaningful based on how far you’ve progressed.
Because this is a major change, all resources will be refunded for existing save files, so you can re-engage with the new system from a clean slate.
6 New Dash Skills
We're introducing not one, not two, but six new dash skills and two new skills! Here are some of them:
Burrow Down:
[Social distancing, but with dirt]
Your dash is replaced with a dig. On dash, you burrow underground and move forward until you emerge, dealing damage and knockback.
Midnight Ghosts:
[Ghosted]
Your dash is replaced with ghost mode. On dash, you spawn a shadow-self and become an invulnerable ghost for a duration.
Savage Fists:
[Talk to the fists]
On cooldown, you spawn 2 fists that punch forward, dealing damage and knocking back enemies.
5 New Treelings
[Marathony is my favorite]
We know you like the cute treelings, here, have some more:
Bounty: After you kill an Elite, level up some of your Skill Cards.
Clutteroni: Breakables now have a chance to explode, dealing area damage.
Smarty: During a run, Mecha now charges faster.
Protectron: You gain Stone Heart at the start of the run; each blocks 1 instance of damage before it’s destroyed.
Marathony: You gain a stack of movement speed bonus every time you reach a certain distance.
3 New Relics
We just added 3 new relics:
Commoncap: For every Common weapon upgrade card you have, you deal +5% more damage.
Dashspores: You gain +2 Dash Charges, but your dash cooldown is increased by 25%.
Hellcap: Each Fire Curse gives you a +10% damage boost, but HP Drops now expire after 6 seconds.
What is next?
That’s all for now, folks. The next updates are already in the works, including:
Improved Game Progression Part 2:
The Starpath Update is only the beginning, this is not our final form.

Expect more upgrades, balance tweaks, and maybe a few hidden treats along the way.
