On July 9 2025, the second volume of The Hub was released, revealing the pre-production samples of the base game and 5-6 player expansion's printed components and a video unboxing said samples. The update also announced that the process of validating the figure samples had been slightly delayed, pushing back the production timeline and pushing the delivery date to the end of the year. Additionally, a response to a user's comment clarified that only the base game and the 5-6 player expansion would be mass-produced for retail, while the set of 10 skins would mostly be reserved for FLYOS's online store as collectible items. The response also revealed that a figure kit for the base game and 5-6 player expansion would be available in a later reprint of the game, likely with the second production run.<ref>FLYOS, ''The Hub — Your Monthly Look Behind the Scenes (Vol.2)'', https://www.flyosgames.com/the-hub-vol-2, « Just to clarify: Retail will stock only the base game and the 5-6 player expansion—neither of these editions includes figures. A few stores may also carry the “Set of 10 Skins,” but those will be limited; we’re reserving most of them for our own online shop as collectible items. And eventually, we do plan to offer a figures kit (base game + expansion) in a later reprint, likely with the second production run. Hope that helps! » (in response to a user's question about the set of 10 skins going to retail)</ref>

On August 11 2025, the third volume of The Hub was released, announcing that the LongPack team started work on optimizations and adjustments on the figures' 3D models, a process that would continue until August's end. From there, the metal molds used for mass-producing said figures would be created, which is when the factory-printed prototypes would be received. Finally, after those steps were finished, mass production would begin.

On the same day, FLYOS released an update on the game's Kickstarter, providing a full timeline and reporting that the game's delivery had been delayed to April-May 2026. Additionally, the pledge manager's end date was pushed to the end of August.

==Gameplay==

Line 329:

Line 417:

Players can Jump to reach upper platforms. While using a Jump action, a character can only move upwards. Using 1 Jump, a player can move from level 1 to level 2, or from level 2 to level 3. Players cannot travel 2 levels with one Jump action (unless they are using the "Scrambler" Legendary Player Card, which grants them this ability). A Jump must be performed from the ground (level 1) or a platform (level 2); players cannot Jump from an empty space or while falling. While jumping upwards, a player can move through a normal platform, but they cannot move their figure downwards through a platform. Additionally, the player cannot Jump while crouching and they cannot jump through a thick platform. To reach a higher platform that is one space away, a player can use a Jump action followed by a Movement action. Each Jump to a platform counts as one action. If a player jumps up through a platform to reach one level, then jumps again to reach the next level, it counts as 2 Jump actions.

====[[~~Telescopic fist#In Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and their spin-offs|~~Slap]]====

====[[Slap]]====

Slaps can be used to attack enemies, hit other players, free a Teensy, or to free a player from their [[Bubble#Vitality|bubblized state]] in co-op mode, and are among the most versatile and important Actions in the game. If a space is occupied by both another player and a Teensy Prisoner token, the player must choose whether to use a Slap action to hit the player or free the Teensy. To do both, they will need 2 Slap actions. If the player lands on a space with an enemy, they can use a Slap action to defeat them and gain a Bonus token. If they do not have a Slap action available, they either lose their [[Heart]] or take damage. If another player’s figure is on a space with an enemy, they cannot use a Slap to defeat that enemy, as it is considered already defeated. They can pass through this space without taking damage. Even if they Slap the other player and move their figure away, the enemy remains defeated for their turn. If the player begins their turn on a space with an enemy, they cannot use a Slap to eliminate them - that enemy is already considered defeated. All enemies that are covered by players are considered already defeated for the entirety of the player's turn. Each enemy can only be eliminated once per player per turn. Once they have eliminated an enemy, they can move over it freely that turn. If they defeat an enemy but don’t end their turn on its space, another player can still target the same enemy during their turn.

Line 339:

Line 427:

====[[Helicopter|Glide]]====

Using a Glide action allows the player’s character to stabilize in the air. When combined with a Movement action, a Glide action allows the player to move horizontally across the same level without touching a platform. The player can glide over any number of spaces, but the Glide stops as soon as they reach a platform. A Glide action alone does not count as a Movement action. The player can also Glide at ground level, allowing their character to soar over obstacles and potentially rescue [[Teensie]]s along the way.

The player can jump to a higher level and then stabilize with a Glide action, allowing them to move horizontally at that level. Using a Slap action while gliding will end their Glide action, but they can use multiple Slap actions to hit a target from a distance. The player stops gliding when their figure reaches ground level after gliding over an obstacle or when they reach a platform. While Gliding, the player cannot use Crouch or Jump actions; to perform these actions, the player must first end the Glide. If they are gliding from a higher level and fall down one or two spaces before stabilizing and continuing to glide, the player must stop their initial Glide action and then start a new one.

Line 393:

Line 481:

There are a number of projectiles that can be used in the game, each with their own Projectile card functions in Hero and Legend modes:

*[[Live missile|~~Missile~~]]s

*[[Live missile|Missiles]]

*Red [[ghost]]s

*[[Fork]]s ([[Gourmand Land#Infernal Kitchens|Infernal Kitchens]] variants)

*[[Firecracker]]s (added when the game's Kickstarter campaign reached $270,000 CAD)

*[[Helicopter bomb|Flying bombs]]

====Movement exceptions====

There are various situations where a player's character may be moved without using Action cards or Bonus tokens, outside of their regular turn (such as being Slapped, taking damage, or using the Movement bonus granted to the player in last position), putting the player in such tricky positions as:

*Being moved to the same space as another player: A player cannot end their movement on the same space as another player's figure. If they land on a space occupied by another player, they must place their figure in an empty space directly above, below, or behind them. If those spaces are also occupied by another player or an obstacle, the figure must be moved to an empty space further back, at any level. If they choose to land on an enemy, their character will take damage or, if they have one, lose their [[Heart]] token. They may place their figure on an empty space above or below another player, even if it contains a thick platform. In this case, they are automatically considered Crouching.

*Being moved to a space with an enemy: If pushed onto a space occupied by an enemy, the player loses their [[Heart]] token, if they have one, or take damage unless it's an enemy they've already defeated during their turn.

*Being moved to a space with a thick platform: If landing on a space with a thick platform, the player is considered Crouched and remains on the space.

*Being moved to a space without a platform: If landing on a space without a platform, gravity takes effect, and they fall until they reach a platform or the ground (first level).

*Being moved to a space with an obstacle: If pushed onto a space with an obstacle, they lose their [[Heart]] token, if they have one, or take damage. Their figure cannot remain on an obstacle, so they must move it to an available free space on the same column. If no free space is available, they must continue moving back one column at a time until they find an open space. A player cannot end their movement on an obstacle and cannot suffer consecutive damage due to their temporary immunity.

*Being thrown against a wall: If thrown against a wall, either in front or behind, and they have a [[Heart]] token, the player loses it. Since walls are impassable, the player remains in their current space. If they don't have a [[Heart]] token, however, their character takes damage and must move two spaces back, following the same rules as earlier. If the player is pushed backward into a wall and don't have a [[Heart]] token, they would normally take damage and move back two spaces; however, since they can't pass through the wall, no movement or damage occurs.

*5 or 6 players: If one owns the 5-6 Player Expansion, they can add more players to the game. To ensure enough space for all players - since movement cannot end on a space occupied by another player - a player may end their movement on an empty space directly above another player (even if there is no platform).

 Players can Jump to reach upper platforms. While using a Jump action, a character can only move upwards. Using 1 Jump, a player can move from level 1 to level 2, or from level 2 to level 3. Players cannot travel 2 levels with one Jump action (unless they are using the "Scrambler" Legendary Player Card, which grants them this ability). A Jump must be performed from the ground (level 1) or a platform (level 2); players cannot Jump from an empty space or while falling. While jumping upwards, a player can move through a normal platform, but they cannot move their figure downwards through a platform. Additionally, the player cannot Jump while crouching and they cannot jump through a thick platform. To reach a higher platform that is one space away, a player can use a Jump action followed by a Movement action. Each Jump to a platform counts as one action. If a player jumps up through a platform to reach one level, then jumps again to reach the next level, it counts as 2 Jump actions.
-====[[Telescopic fist#In Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and their spin-offs|Slap]]====
+====[[Slap]]====
 Slaps can be used to attack enemies, hit other players, free a Teensy, or to free a player from their [[Bubble#Vitality|bubblized state]] in co-op mode, and are among the most versatile and important Actions in the game. If a space is occupied by both another player and a Teensy Prisoner token, the player must choose whether to use a Slap action to hit the player or free the Teensy. To do both, they will need 2 Slap actions. If the player lands on a space with an enemy, they can use a Slap action to defeat them and gain a Bonus token. If they do not have a Slap action available, they either lose their [[Heart]] or take damage. If another player’s figure is on a space with an enemy, they cannot use a Slap to defeat that enemy, as it is considered already defeated. They can pass through this space without taking damage. Even if they Slap the other player and move their figure away, the enemy remains defeated for their turn. If the player begins their turn on a space with an enemy, they cannot use a Slap to eliminate them - that enemy is already considered defeated. All enemies that are covered by players are considered already defeated for the entirety of the player's turn. Each enemy can only be eliminated once per player per turn. Once they have eliminated an enemy, they can move over it freely that turn. If they defeat an enemy but don’t end their turn on its space, another player can still target the same enemy during their turn.

 ====[[Helicopter|Glide]]====
 Using a Glide action allows the player’s character to stabilize in the air. When combined with a Movement action, a Glide action allows the player to move horizontally across the same level without touching a platform. The player can glide over any number of spaces, but the Glide stops as soon as they reach a platform. A Glide action alone does not count as a Movement action. The player can also Glide at ground level, allowing their character to soar over obstacles and potentially rescue [[Teensie]]s along the way.
 The player can jump to a higher level and then stabilize with a Glide action, allowing them to move horizontally at that level. Using a Slap action while gliding will end their Glide action, but they can use multiple Slap actions to hit a target from a distance. The player stops gliding when their figure reaches ground level after gliding over an obstacle or when they reach a platform. While Gliding, the player cannot use Crouch or Jump actions; to perform these actions, the player must first end the Glide. If they are gliding from a higher level and fall down one or two spaces before stabilizing and continuing to glide, the player must stop their initial Glide action and then start a new one.

+====Movement exceptions====
+There are various situations where a player's character may be moved without using Action cards or Bonus tokens, outside of their regular turn (such as being Slapped, taking damage, or using the Movement bonus granted to the player in last position), putting the player in such tricky positions as:
+*Being moved to the same space as another player: A player cannot end their movement on the same space as another player's figure. If they land on a space occupied by another player, they must place their figure in an empty space directly above, below, or behind them. If those spaces are also occupied by another player or an obstacle, the figure must be moved to an empty space further back, at any level. If they choose to land on an enemy, their character will take damage or, if they have one, lose their [[Heart]] token. They may place their figure on an empty space above or below another player, even if it contains a thick platform. In this case, they are automatically considered Crouching.
+*Being moved to a space with an enemy: If pushed onto a space occupied by an enemy, the player loses their [[Heart]] token, if they have one, or take damage unless it's an enemy they've already defeated during their turn.
+*Being moved to a space with a thick platform: If landing on a space with a thick platform, the player is considered Crouched and remains on the space.
+*Being moved to a space without a platform: If landing on a space without a platform, gravity takes effect, and they fall until they reach a platform or the ground (first level).
+*Being moved to a space with an obstacle: If pushed onto a space with an obstacle, they lose their [[Heart]] token, if they have one, or take damage. Their figure cannot remain on an obstacle, so they must move it to an available free space on the same column. If no free space is available, they must continue moving back one column at a time until they find an open space. A player cannot end their movement on an obstacle and cannot suffer consecutive damage due to their temporary immunity.
+*Being thrown against a wall: If thrown against a wall, either in front or behind, and they have a [[Heart]] token, the player loses it. Since walls are impassable, the player remains in their current space. If they don't have a [[Heart]] token, however, their character takes damage and must move two spaces back, following the same rules as earlier. If the player is pushed backward into a wall and don't have a [[Heart]] token, they would normally take damage and move back two spaces; however, since they can't pass through the wall, no movement or damage occurs.
+*5 or 6 players: If one owns the 5-6 Player Expansion, they can add more players to the game. To ensure enough space for all players - since movement cannot end on a space occupied by another player - a player may end their movement on an empty space directly above another player (even if there is no platform).
