Hello Hedgehogs!

It's time to buddy up and invite your friends to join your friend's list!

It's been a heavily requested feature and I am glad to announce the Friends List. Starting today you can help test the Friends List. There is currently a 20 friend limit and this will more than likely be increased in the future. For now, the Friends List system is very simple and you can only accept, decline and view friends. Share your ideas with me on what you'd love to see added to the Friends List!

How do I add a friend?

Find the hedgehog that is online and simply click on their hedgehog. You will see a small player card that says 'Add Friend'. Once the request is sent you must wait for them to accept it. Please note that requested friends count towards your limit of 20 friends (until they declined).

Why is there a friend limit?

The friend limit is to see how well it works for now. This is a new system and needs testing. Big friends list could slow the server down as each time you log in the friend's list is checked and loaded.

Can I remove a friend?

Not yet! This is a basic friends list for now until I add more features!

Why is my friend called Hedgehog?

For the time being players that have pending or usernames that are not approved will be displayed as Hedgehog in your friends list.

Here is the recent changelog:

  • Basic Friends List system added.
