In both modes, dropping voxels does not cause a game over, and players can practice alone if no opponent is available. Score Attack awards the win to the player with the most points within a time limit, while Voxel Race tasks players with creating the largest voxel faster than their opponent, with the ability to restart while keeping the largest voxel. The update also enables online play with others via Steam's Remote Play Together and Nintendo Switch 2's Share Play, even if the other player does not own the game. To mark the update, a 20% off sale runs until September 6, dropping the price from 2,480 yen to 1,984 yen on Steam, Switch 2, and Switch. Switch owners can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for 330 yen. Additional campaigns include a Collection Room Design Contest on X with daily gacha points, and a follow-and-repost campaign offering Steam download codes to 10 winners. The versus modes will be playable at gamescom 2026 and Tokyo Game Show 2026.","whyItMatters":"The update's no-game-over versus rules lower the barrier for casual play, and the inclusion of Remote Play Together and Share Play lets owners invite friends without requiring them to purchase the game.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game, released on June 25, 2026, draws on classic Namco arcade titles such as Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Xevious, Mappy, and The Tower of Druaga, reimagining their pixel art as modern voxels.
