CapsGame Times #4 - May 2026

This time, someone spilled a jar of memes into the cauldron of images. The result is some weird neural-network visual stew. But the text — premium-grade crap author-made content with not a single gram of AI. Same as always, just the way we like it

And honestly, there’s no way to take the “theme of the issue” without a hefty dose of humor. Otherwise, you might feel the urge to commit unlawful acts — or become the victim of those very acts. So everyone, get ready — and let’s go!

The Crime of the Century

The crime of the century has happened in CapsGame! An unidentified individual infiltrated the project and replaced the lovely little backpack with a blasphemous, disgusting pig. Millions of chewed pieces of GUM were found at the crime scene — apparently ruined by the culprit out of sheer desperation — along with a pile of hammers of unknown origin and purpose. We ask everyone to stay vigilant! The investigation is still determining the motives behind this bloodthirsty act, but one thing is already clear: a ruthless repeat offender is on the loose

We’re shocked by this level of audacity ourselves. Everything acquired through backbreaking labor — all gone…

But strictly speaking, this was an expected decision, one we’ve publicly talked about more than once. The ground had been prepared, and the transition was gradual and smooth: first, the Piggy Bank appeared for all new players, then those who hadn’t upgraded their Backpack at all were moved over. And now the time has come for that very loyal audience that supports us, loves us, and… right?

There’s no point in describing the wave of negativity. It was expected. Bottom line — we understand it. But at the same time, it’s sad to watch the saying “from love to hate…” come to life. However, many players supported us through this difficult decision, while others simply understood and accepted it in silence — a huge thank you to them!

We even decided to create a unique Trophy as a keepsake of the red friend. And give it to everyone who had it at some point. Those who had also upgraded it received an amount of goodies equivalent to their upgrade progress, along with an improved version of the Trophy. As a memory

Will the economic situation change? Possibly. But in a system with many criteria, one of them can’t be the foundation of everything. Not everyone values their own contribution properly and is ready to dump for a few pennies. Well, everyone has their own strategy

As for us, we’ll keep doing what we sincerely believe in, even when it means making decisions that are unpopular with a certain group of players. Such is the way of the CapsGame samurai

Heroes in a Half-Shell

As big fans of the “good old Ninja Turtles,” we’ve wanted for a long time to make another collection based on the iconic animated series. To give players a chance to collect the heroes they’ve loved since childhood — with their unmistakable style and personality, which we tried to convey through pose and composition

While staying close to “that very” art style, we also tried to bring in a bit of a fresh take. And to make every cap feel juicy, so everyone can find a favorite of their own

This is what an early draft for an April cap could have looked like. But you definitely wouldn’t have liked it, right? And here are a few style exploration variants that didn’t pass the test. Shredder, on the other hand, was already ready to burst into the collection — but he lost the battle for the sixth slot to Hamato Yoshi

The collection was originally created as a Premium “upper-tier” one, so with enough effort put into upgrading and burning caps, it definitely surpasses Tamatonchi and can absolutely start competing with Kaidzen!

The “copies only” upgrade format was chosen precisely to give the Turtle Power collection a competitive advantage. And, by the way, you just love trading caps, don’t you?

And for those who enjoy reading our newspaper carefully, there’s a nice surprise — a promo code. Enter TURTLE-POWER-TIMES and get a free Turtle Power pack! Can be activated once per player. We’re giving away 100 in total, so don’t miss your chance. We love our readers!

Come on in, be our guest

This month we decided to launch a login reward. And we didn’t cheap out: for “basically nothing,” the reward is actually pretty good. All you have to do in return is not miss any days. Did it help? Well… the image above speaks for itself. Hint: starts with “no…”

But hey, on day 14 there’s a genuinely cool frame! Exclusive, with a pretty decent bonus

Jokes aside, the “check-in” system is generally a good thing. Log in every day, get rewards, build up an ongoing bonus. Useful for us, pleasant for players. Especially since many of you already enjoy logging in every day anyway

And that’s exactly what happened. The old-timers and those who fell in love with the project from day one — kept logging in just like before. Everyone else didn’t quite understand why they needed some headphones

But the trend is positive, and we’ll keep developing this aspect. We’ll think about a continuous bonus that doesn’t last 14 days, but maybe 14,000 days. Logging into CapsGame for 38 years? Pff, couldn’t be easier!

Welcome to CapsGame, buddy

You can invite a friend to the game. Or you can invite a friend to the game and get three hundred bucks. Well, maybe not three, and maybe not hundred, of course — but definitely bucks. Honestly, you just need to have rich friends! So that one’s on you…

At the end of May, we finished the first iteration of the referral system. The previous one was hilarious — we laughed about it with the whole minibus (one more local humor, never mind). So the update was only a matter of time and priorities. And finally, it all came together!

There are quite a few questions about the system, so let’s break it down right away. There are no limits on the number of invites, so feel free to drop your link into the house chat. Everyone who follows your link and starts playing will bring you 1.5% of their purchases. The percentage grows depending on the referral level, and that, in turn, depends on the amount of TON you’ve received from your friend through the referral system

Hey-hey! Don’t fall asleep!

To put it simply: the cooler your friend is, the bigger your cashback. We also counted all previous payments to determine the current referral levels. If you’re wondering: “Why didn’t you pay TON retroactively?” — our answer is: “And if we raise the prices, should we recalculate those too? Will you pay the difference retroactively?” More than fair

Just a reminder: this is the first iteration of the referral system. We’ll keep improving and refining it in the future to make it even moooore interesting and attractive

Peace Was Never an Option

Let’s put it this way. The game is not shutting down. Reading this with enviable regularity is getting exhausting. Thank you, everyone

In reality, it’s only now that the project is starting to come alive and generate additional resources — enough to upgrade our “one-and-a-half-person team” into at least two actual people. Figuratively speaking

On top of that, Telegram’s issues only add more problems by choking off the flow of new players. Not every VPN works reliably, and not every player wants to deal with it. And then there are the DDoS attacks on top of all that…

“So what are you actually trying to say?”

That despite all the difficulties and a huge stretch of time — more than a year — when the project was only eating up massive chunks of money, we kept supporting it, developing it, and believing in it. Putting in every bit of effort we possibly could. And now those efforts are starting to bear fruit

And by “fruit,” we don’t mean the whole team is about to run off and buy Ferraris (we’d be lucky if it covered one wheel), but that it will allow us to expand the team, improve the infrastructure, and approach updates more thoroughly

Thank you to everyone who supports us no matter what! And not necessarily financially. Sometimes a kind word from you can do far more good. Amen
