King of the Hill Season 50: "Season of PUNY HUMANS"!

• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of Puny Humans" •

"Season of the Labyrinth" is over! The changes from that season (more rooms!) remain in the game (for now!)

Welcome to the "Season of Puny Humans," - the season of YOU, puny humans!

Seasonal Mutation: In this season, newbies became twice as strong, but they also now cost twice as much.

We always appreciate your feedback regarding seasonal mutations. Regularly — usually one week before the season ends — we hold calls with players on our Discord server to discuss game balance and upcoming changes. Join us!
