Changelog

A running log of notable changes to Cleaver Duel, newest first.

October 2026: mobile play

The game is now playable on phones and tablets with tap-to-move and on-screen Q, F, D and S buttons.
Cleaver and Blink use a two-tap aim: arm the ability, then tap the arena.
Phone and desktop players can share a room.
Play vs bot is now the first button in the lobby, and the guides link to /#practice to start a practice match instantly.
New guides: abilities, strategy, sudden death, netcode and mobile play, with screenshots.
Corrected the Blink range in the written guides to 350 units.

Five-letter room codes instead of four, for a much larger code space.
Invite-link arrivals now see a welcome card and a ready button, so the countdown never starts while you are still reading.
A denied-press click when you press an ability that is not ready.
Flash (Blink) pressed during the cleaver wind-up is queued and fires as soon as the wind-up ends.
Thrown cleavers leave a fading coloured trail.
The mid-wall shards of sudden death now fade out over about six seconds.
Rebindable hotkeys, new sound effects, and a visual overhaul.
Smoother remote-player movement, a shorter Blink, and a wind-up telegraph.
Netcode fixes for sudden-death prediction, cleaver interpolation and rematch sync.

Host-authoritative peer-to-peer duel with client prediction, signaling on a Cloudflare Worker, and spectators.
Seven lives of 100 HP, a 3-second cleaver cooldown, Haste, Blink and sudden death.
