FOAMSTARS: A letter from the Producer

Hello, Kosuke Okatani here, Producer of FOAMSTARS. Thank you for your continued support of the game!

I’m back with a progress report and a preview for Season 5!

Progress Report

1) Intentional Disconnects

In Patch v3.20 we implemented penalties for intentional disconnects, then adjusted these parameters in Patch v4.10. Our data shows that this has greatly reduced the number of disconnects.

As for players being idle for a long period of time during a battle (going AFK), we will continue to monitor game logs to see if this is intentional. If it is determined to be intentional, the user will be penalized and unable to join a match for a set amount of time.

We will continue working with the devs and the community to provide you with a better play experience.

2) Squad Mission Update Delay

Our initial Road Map listed a Squad Mission update during Season 4 and Season 5, but it has taken longer than expected to achieve our expected level of quality. We apologize for the delay and will announce the release date as soon as soon as we’re able to.

Season 5 Preview

1) Energy Stone Allocation Adjustments

We are adjusting the allocation of Energy Stones from Season 5 to help the new Foamstar get ready for the party!

Please look forward to the details in the Season 5 patch notes.

2) New Foamstar

Ramzey was previewed during the Happy FriYAY Party and will be a permanent member of the roster from the next season!

• Foam Gun: Fleecy & Fluffy
• Battle Style: Close-Range Fluffy Type

Ramzey has the unfortunate tendency to transform into Dark Ramzey while asleep, which nearly foamed up all of Bath Vegas. Since then, Ramzey has returned to their senses and dived into the wild wooly world of Foam Smash!

Shots

Ramzey’s rapid-fire shots bounces off obstacles, making them great for building up foam in a straight line.

However, don’t expect your shots to reach high places, or to connect with opponents out of your (relatively short) range!

Skills

The skill “Baaambs Away” helps mitigate Ramzey’s short range. Try having the grenade detonate at your feet to propel yourself to new strategic heights! The grenade is more damaging at close range, so try to get close to your opponent for an explosive assault.

Ramzey’s other skill, “Sheeplechase,” summons a parade of the bubble beastie, Lamby, which charge forward in a straight line. Lamby connects for huge damage while blocking enemy fire, serving as a long-lasting moving shield.

Both skills act differently depending which direction you’re holding the analog stick, so experiment!

Superstar Skill

The SSS “Ramzey’s Dream” transforms you into Dark Ramzey! You receive a massive boost to your defense and offense, so go wild!

However, be careful as this dark glow up makes you a bigger target. (Literally!)

As Dark Ramzey you also have access to the devastating “Meeehgaflare” skill. It has a bit of startup lag but the damage is well worth the wait. Use it in the middle of a scrum to foam up the enemy squad!

Ramzey will join the permanent roster next season and is playable now during the Happy FriYAY Party at the following times:
