Hedgehog Creek Changelog

10.1.1 - 10th October 2026 - 7:38am

  • Hedgehogs Can Fly updated to 1.0.2.
  • - Finishing Professor Perry's final test now gives you the Astronaut Shoes. If you already finished it, the shoes arrive after your next flight.
  • - Parachute upgrades bought in the Gem shop now stay with you.
  • - Gem shop upgrades now work from your very first flight, and the Gear page shows them as soon as it opens.
  • - The Astronaut Suit now gives you a slightly bigger fuel tank in flight, and you keep it after a Fly On.
  • - Professor Perry's speech bubbles have been tidied up.

10.1.0 - 9th October 2026 - 8:47pm

  • If your email isn't confirmed yet, a reminder now shows on the home page and in the game, with a button to resend the confirmation email.
  • The NPC shops have a brand new look! Shopkeepers now lean out of their stall window, and their stock sits on shelves in a wooden display case with price tags hanging underneath.
  • - Buy straight from the shopkeeper's speech bubble, with no more pop-ups getting in the way.
  • - A little "Bought!" card tells you when something's yours, and your coins count down so you can see what you spent.
  • - Try clothes on your own hedgehog before you buy them, and put them on as soon as they're yours.
  • - The free item sparkles until you've claimed it, and claiming it sets off a burst of confetti.
  • - In furniture shops, once you've claimed the free piece you can buy more of it, and "Buy another" lets you pick up extras straight away.
  • - Works on phones held either way up.
  • Our emails have a new look! They now arrive like a letter from the village, with a postmark and a Mayor Spike first class stamp.
  • - New hedgehogs get a welcome letter with a few things to try first, plus a wave from ScreenCactus.
  • - Confirm email and password reset emails have the same letter design, with a big button that's easy to tap on phones.
  • - Emails are sent through a new email service, so they should arrive faster and are less likely to end up in spam.
  • - Emails stay easy to read in dark mode, and each one has a plain text version for email apps that need it.
  • Hedgehogs Can Fly updated to 1.0.1 with a fix for flights that could freeze after bumping into lots of things, leaving your hedgehog stuck on the ground with no game over and nothing saved.
  • Bigger friends lists! Everyone can now have 100 friends (up from 80), and supporters get even more: 150 for Tier 1, 200 for Tier 2 and 300 for Tier 3.
  • The barriers around Professor Perry's Lab have been removed.

10.0.0 - 4th October 2026 - 11:30am

  • New version numbering! I've dropped the leading 0, so v0.10.0 becomes v10.0.0. Major updates bump the first number, feature updates the second, and fixes the third. Minigame versions follow the same style.
  • - Versions are no longer marked as "Experimental". After more than five years of updates, Hedgehog Creek has outgrown the label.
  • You can now sign in or create a hedgehog with your Google account. Already have a hedgehog? Use Google with the same email and it signs you straight in.
  • New minigame: Hedgehogs Can Fly! Visit Professor Perry's Lab and test his flying machines. Fly as high as you can, dodge obstacles, complete Perry's goals to unlock better gear, and push your best height ever higher.
  • - Hedgehogs Can Fly launches at version 1.0.0, its first full release build.
  • - Progress on Perry's current goals is now saved to your account, so closing the game no longer resets it.
  • - Each flight can unlock one new piece of gear. When you finish a round of Perry's goals, his next goals start on your next flight, so every unlock gets its moment.
  • - Perry's "don't hit anything" goals now allow a bump or two on the later rounds, so one unlucky early knock doesn't mean starting again.
  • - The game over screen now tells you when you have enough gems for an upgrade in the Shop.
  • - Coins from a flight have been rebalanced to sit alongside the other minigames.
  • - Fixed unlocked gear or goal progress occasionally not saving when several goals were completed at once.
  • - Mayor Spike has granted planning permission for a new building. Professor Perry's Lab has been built and added to the Village!
  • New: Draughts tables! Sit down at a table in the Village with another hedgehog to play a game of draughts. Anyone walking past can watch the game on the table.
  • - Hedgehogs sit properly on the chairs instead of floating above them, and getting up from one table no longer sits you down at the table next to it.
  • - The winner earns 10 coins and the loser earns 5.
  • - Each turn has a 30 second timer, so nobody is left waiting.
  • - Friends earn a coin bonus when they play each other, which grows with your Friendship Level (see below). The result screen shows a breakdown with your total.
  • Minigames have been rebuilt.
  • - Coffee Collection updated to 5.5.1 with improved image quality and fixes to game loading.
  • - A new minigame loader and game manager, with a redesigned loading screen featuring a new progress bar and a cleaner, on-brand look.
  • - Improved touch controls so minigames now play correctly on phones, tablets and iPads.
  • - Better full-screen handling on mobile so minigames fill the screen without gaps, and no longer look squashed on narrow phones.
  • - General performance and polish improvements across the minigames.
  • The residents of Hedgehog Creek have come alive! The world now has a day of the week, and Mayor Spike, Mr Prickles, Hazel, Chai and Flint follow their own daily routines through it, working at their spots, travelling between areas and chatting about life in the creek. Everyone in the world sees them in the same place at the same time.
  • - Villagers travel on foot between areas. You might pass Flint stretching his legs in the Village on a Tuesday morning, or catch the Mayor having an evening coffee in the Cafe.
  • - Villagers can slip away into parts of the creek you can't follow them into. Watch Mayor Spike walk off and disappear for a while, then reappear and get on with his day.
  • - If a villager is out and about, they leave a note at their usual spot, marked with a bobbing question mark, telling you when they'll be back.
  • - A shop's basket marker now stays put at the shop counter, and the shop shows as closed while its keeper is away.
  • - Fixed talk and shop buttons staying on screen after you walked away, or appearing over an empty spot when the villager wasn't there.
  • - Fixed villagers leaving an "I'm out" note even when they weren't set to leave one.
  • - Fixed shops showing as closed, and talk buttons not appearing, while a villager was standing right at their spot. The buttons now follow the villager when they move to a new spot.
  • - Fixed Flint teleporting around the Cave. He now uses the Cave's lower entrance to reach the far chamber.
  • Brand new hedgehogs are now personally welcomed to the creek by Mayor Spike himself!
  • - New players also get a short, picture-led three-step tour of the basics instead of the old welcome pop-up.
  • - Mayor Spike's welcome has been rewritten in his proper, well-to-do manner, and now points you towards Professor Perry's Lab, where he's always looking for brave volunteers to test his jetpacks.
  • Characters now wave and change their expressions while they talk to you, putting down whatever they're holding to give you a proper wave. Their speech is also easier to read as it types out.
  • Thunderstorms have arrived in the creek! A rare storm rolls in every few hours, with heavier rain, a darker sky, and thunderclaps that light up the world around you. Everyone in the creek hears the same thunderclap at the same moment, so you can jump together.
  • - The weather is much calmer overall. The creek is now clear most of the time, rain is uncommon, and snow is a little more common through the winter. Every spell of weather lasts a different length of time, so it never feels like clockwork.
  • - Rain now blows around in the wind, and the raindrops turn to follow the direction they're falling. Storm winds are far stronger and change much more often.
  • - Rain now darkens the world properly: heavily outside, gently indoors, and it fades in and out over a few seconds instead of snapping.
  • - Fixed the rain being almost inaudible, especially indoors, and the rain ambience going silent after a minigame.
  • - Fixed rain and snow starting bunched up at the top of the screen instead of falling across the whole view.
  • - The hamburger menu now shows a thunderstorm in the weather panel, and the day of the week, in-game time and weather are clearer and easier to read.
  • A fresh new look for the home page you see after logging in! Your own hedgehog appears on a bigger Join World button, and Scores, Events, Discord and more are laid out as colourful tiles that work nicely on phones, tablets and computers.
  • The website now has more design changes for seasons! For Halloween, Christmas and other events, the site icon, logo, home page and login backgrounds all change to match. At Halloween bats swoop across the screen, ghosts drift by and fog rolls in; at Christmas snow falls.
  • The world changes with the seasons! Paths and grass get their autumn and winter looks, and the spinning hedgehog on the loading screen dresses for the season too.
  • Redesigned inventory!
  • - Your wardrobe is now a dressing room: your hedgehog stands in the middle, drawn sharper than ever, with a slot on each side for hats, face, back, held items, tops, bottoms, shoes and costumes. Tap a slot to jump to those clothes.
  • - Clothes are sorted into colourful tabs down the side of your wardrobe, like a notebook, so you're not scrolling one long list.
  • - Save your favourite outfits and put them back on in one tap. Everyone can save 2, and supporters can save more: 5 on Tier 1, 10 on Tier 2 and 20 on Tier 3.
  • - New colour choices for your hedgehog: the classic colours, a set of pastels, and an any-colour picker. Anyone can try colours on, and Tier 2 supporters and up keep them.
  • - Tier 2 and Tier 3 supporters can save their favourite colour combos and switch back to them in one tap (5 on Tier 2, 10 on Tier 3).
  • - Turn your hedgehog round in the inventory to see your outfit from every side.
  • - Search your items to find a piece of clothing in seconds.
  • - A new "Your hedgehog" tab where you can change your hedgehog's eyes, lashes, nose and colour, with a live preview as you go.
  • - The inventory has been redesigned for phones too, with bigger item tiles and a tidier layout that fits small screens. The hedgehog's box is shorter so the wardrobe has more room.
  • - New to Hedgehog Creek? Your wardrobe and card deck now tell you where to find your first clothes and cards.
  • Redesigned friends list!
  • - Friends who are online show at the top under "Out and about", with where they are in the world. Everyone else shows under "Snoozing" with when they were last seen (which stops counting at "5+ days ago").
  • - Friends show in their outfits even when they're offline, wearing whatever they had on when they last played.
  • - Snoozing friends are sorted by who was around most recently.
  • - Press Escape to go back a step: it closes a friend's card first, then the friends list.
  • - Friend requests have their own tab, with every waiting request in one place and the requests you've sent listed underneath.
  • - New friend cards show a big picture of your friend, how many days old their hedgehog is, when they were last seen, where they are right now (or which minigame they're playing), a supporter badge, and a Minigames section with their all-time bests.
  • - Your own card! Tap your face at the top of the friends list to see the card your friends see, and pick its banner colour. Supporters get extra Gold and Rainbow banners, and Gold supporters get a sparkly one.
  • - Supporters stand out with a frame around their picture and a matching Tier 1, 2 or 3 badge on their profile card.
  • - Wave at your friends! Tap the hand next to a friend, or Wave on their card, to say hi. You can wave at each friend once a day, and if they're not online your wave waits for them until they next log in. Fixed the wave button coming back after reopening the friends list.
  • - See when friends are hanging out together in the same place.
  • - New: Friendship Levels! Every friend now has 5 hearts that fill up slowly as you spend time together. You earn a friend point each day you wave at a friend, and another for playing draughts together or spending 10 minutes in the same room. It takes a whole month of daily effort to fill all 5 hearts.
  • - New News tab: see when your friends beat their best minigame score, get something new, or redecorate their home, and send them a heart.
  • - Fixed "last seen" showing when a friend last logged in rather than when they were last around. It now updates the moment they log off, and counts up while the card is open.
  • Smoother, better-looking hedgehogs.
  • - Walking is now much smoother. Hedgehogs move in natural straight lines instead of the old tile by tile path, and no longer jitter when routing around objects.
  • - Hedgehogs always walk using their side view, which has the nicest walking animation, and turn to face front or back once they stop.
  • - If you enter a room while a hedgehog is on the move, you see them still walking to where they are going.
  • - Coming back to the game after switching tabs, hedgehogs and villagers are already where they should be instead of catching up.
  • - Updated the layering of the hedgehog's arms, neck, head and hair so they animate better.
  • - Fixed some item layering issues. Jetpack straps no longer cover your hedgehog's arms or the items they're holding, held items stay gripped in the paw, and items stay in the same hand when you turn left and right.
  • - Hats now show when your hedgehog faces away at an angle, and hair colour shows properly from that angle too.
  • - Fixed numbers on balloons showing backwards when facing left.
  • - Fixed the bottom of your hedgehog's eyes and the soles of their trainers looking cut off.
  • - Added a new shocked nose/mouth expression and a new shocked emote in the emotes hotbar, and fixed some layout bugs in the hotbar on mobile.
  • - Your hedgehog now remembers if you were sitting down when you logged out.
  • Brand new world loading screen! Your hedgehog spins inside a lightning-struck purple black hole, with a proper loading bar, then settles upright as your world fades into view.
  • Sharper artwork across the game. Clothing icons, characters and UI images no longer look grainy or pixelated.
  • Faster and smoother everywhere.
  • - Entering, leaving and rejoining the world is faster, logging in is faster and more reliable, and the account page loads much faster.
  • - In our side-by-side tests against v0.9.29, getting into the world is nearly 3 times faster (about 1.2 seconds down to 0.4 seconds), and logging in went from about 3 seconds to under half a second.
  • - Hedgehog profile pictures (navbar, friends list and player cards) render faster and use far less of your device's graphics resources.
  • - Fixed a short stutter every time your hedgehog finished walking, most noticeable on phones and in the bigger rooms.
  • - Doorways, pickups and NPC trigger spots now cost the same to check no matter how big the room is, so larger areas run as smoothly as small ones.
  • - Big lighting performance improvements, so busy rooms run far more smoothly.
  • - Much smoother walking on phones, tablets and older computers. Moving around the world, and watching other players and villagers walk about, no longer drags the frame rate down, especially in big rooms like the Village. The day and night lighting is also much cheaper to draw, so the game stays smooth with Lighting switched on.
  • - Fixed the game slowly using more graphics memory each time you resized the window, rotated your phone, changed rooms during rain or snow, or when someone with a torch left the room.
  • - Fixed the room getting brighter and slower each time you toggled the Lighting setting.
  • - Rooms now fade quickly to black and back when you switch between them, instead of popping straight in.
  • Sound and music fixes.
  • - Fixed room music sometimes not playing, or the wrong room's music carrying on after you'd walked somewhere else. Music now comes back properly after switching browser tabs, and "Mute Background Music" no longer silences it until you change rooms.
  • - Background music now sits at a sensible volume instead of playing over everything else.
  • Bug fixes.
  • - Fixed doorways, item pickups and NPC spots not always triggering in the right place on sharper screens.
  • - Fixed a hedgehog appearing twice after a reconnect, and hedgehogs ghosting around the world after logging out or switching rooms.
  • - Fixed smaller rooms aligning to the left of the window. They now centre nicely in the browser.
  • - Fixed the mute notice appearing without a button to close it.
  • - Fixed parts of the world's buttons and menus showing on top of minigames.
  • - Fixed typing in some menus jumping your text into the chat bar mid-word.
  • - Fixed some furniture in your home being hard to pick up with the pencil, or grabbing when you clicked next to it instead of on it.
  • - Fixed the installed app (PWA) sometimes getting stuck on "Loading World". If loading ever stalls, the game now clears its saved files and reloads by itself.
  • - Fixed chat blocking normal sentences with a full stop in them, like "Mr. Prickles", or the word "load". Short messages like "lol" no longer go missing either.
  • - Chat commands now work in any capitals, so /JOIN cafe works like /join cafe.
  • - Chat now lets through common emotes like :3, <3, ^_^ and -_-, and messages that are just an emote no longer go missing.
  • - Fixed being disconnected a few seconds after the game reconnected, for example when your phone or laptop woke up from sleep.
  • - Fixed "Too far to travel!" when tapping somewhere you could see on screen, especially when zoomed out or near the edge of a big area like the Village.
  • - Fixed your play time not being saved if the server restarted for an update while you were online.
  • - Fixed Scavenger Hunt prizes sometimes not being given when you reached them.
  • - Removed some unknown entities.
  • If a moderator approves your username while you're playing, it now updates straight away for you and everyone around you, and you get a notification. No more reloading.
  • A new close button, used across the whole game.
  • Notifications have a fresh look: short, friendly pop-ups in the game's green that tidy themselves away after a few seconds.
  • News and announcements from the Hedgehog Creek team now appear on the home page and in game.
  • The blog has a new look, with categories and pages to browse older posts. Each post page is redesigned too, with a pinned photo (or short animation) at the top, a quick summary, key points, a contents note, a note about the author and more posts to read.
  • New Supporter Perks page! Tap the heart in the menu to see what each Patreon tier gets. Tapping a supporter tag, a locked banner or the body colour lock opens it too.
  • Anyone can now try on custom body colours in the Expressions tab to see how they look. Tier 2 and Tier 3 supporters keep them.
  • Fixed free Patreon members getting free Fly-Ons in Hedgehogs Can Fly. Free Fly-Ons are for Tier 1, 2 and 3 supporters.
  • Hedgehog Creek now runs on its own player accounts system, making the game faster and more reliable. Your hedgehog, coins, items, scores and friends have all come with you.
  • - Just log in as normal. The first time you type your password after the update, it's moved over to the new system automatically.
  • - Already signed in before the update? You stay signed in, no need to log in again.
  • - Every hedgehog comes across, even ones that haven't been played in years. Come back whenever you like and yours will be waiting.
  • - Forgot your password? Reset emails now come from Hedgehog Creek instead of PlayFab, and the link takes you straight to a page on our site to choose a new one.
  • A new look for the Top Hogs scores page.
  • - Pick a game and see one board at a time, with the top three hedgehogs standing on a podium dressed in their own outfits.
  • - Coffee Collection and Hedgehogs Can Fly now have This Month, This Year and All Time boards.
  • - Monthly prizes show with their coins, and you can see how many days are left before the board resets.
  • - Monthly prize coins are paid automatically again when the Coffee Collection board resets.
  • - Yearly boards now reset on 1 January, and the Hedgehogs Can Fly monthly board now resets each month.
  • - Fixed your play time from last month carrying over into the Most Active Hog board if you were online when the month changed.
  • A new cookie choice on the website. A small bar asks before we use analytics cookies, and nothing is tracked unless you say yes. Change your mind any time with the Cookies link at the bottom of the page. It never pops up on the login, sign up or play pages.
