Our ninth stage gives you another public building to behave badly in. Take a seat and try to hide the itch.Your appointment may be delayed. But the itch will keep on rising.

Read full update on Steam ↗Jail Time! Patch 1.0.4 + The Scratch Dreams Collection Reveal
JAIL TIME. BIG DREAMS.Patch 1.0.4 is live — and the itch has plans beyond the prison walls. The Jail brings the next free chapter of Ball Scratch Simulator's story. But there's another announcement I've been itching to share: The Scratch Dreams Collection. INTRODUCING THE SCRATCH DREAMS COLLECTIONFive upcoming DLC experiences. Five different genres. One deeply inconvenient itch. Scratch Dreams takes Ball Scratch Simulator's ridiculous premise into entirely new styles of play. These are additional experiences with their own game modes, built around the same questionable talent you've been developing all this time. Here's where the itch is heading: Love at First Itch - Romance has enough awkward moments already. Now try getting through a date while keeping your scratching under control. Scratch Fishing - Cast a line, take in the scenery and enjoy a peaceful fishing trip. Your balls have...
Read full update on Steam ↗Order in Court! Patch 1.0.3 Is Live
ALL RISE. HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM. Patch 1.0.3 is live, and your questionable public behaviour has finally made it to court. The Courtroom is Ball Scratch Simulator's seventh stage, continuing the story with a brush with the law. A room full of people judging you. An itch with absolutely no respect for the legal system. Try to look innocent. The new level brings new waifu models, new themed cards and a new Chibi to collect. More story, more witnesses, more reasons to keep your hands under control. NEW LIMBS. SAME QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS. The wardrobe and Workshop now support custom arm and leg models, going beyond texture reskins. Creators can change the actual models, opening up more ways to personalise your scratching experience. Subtle leg animations during idle, scratching, sniffing, Pinch and Roll give those creations a little more life, too. And multiplayer now has hats: eigh...
Read full update on Steam ↗Patch 1.0.2(c)
With work on patch 1.0.3 progressing (The first new content patch), it was decided to push an additional maintenance patch for 1.0.2. This is due to a bug which was introduced affecting the Ice Cream Shop Level (Thanks TonyGJ!)It is reflected in the stats when comparing the survival rate between patch 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 as seen below (1.0.2 has a steep ice-cream stage cliff):Additional changes have been made under this patch.A minor bug for the new Chibi Challenge causing hidden errors has been fixed.Overtime penalties which reduced the minimum break-window has been nerfed - allowing players more time between observations. This will benefit the top-end players aiming for the top leaderboard spots.White-house aide has a chance-based observation instead of static fixed observation at the end of her route.Waifu mouths have been increased in size by 25%We are looking forward to everyones rea...

Patch 1.0.2 — An Itch Worth Investigating is now live!A little less heat on the higher difficultiesThe balance changes in Patch 1.0.1 are showing positive results in the recorded survival data for the higher difficulty modes, Forbidden Scratch and Crotch Inferno.
