⇐ v0.21.3 ⇒
Settings: Army Veteran Gamer has been added to the social media section in settings, thank you for making a series on the game!
Intro Animation toggle
Letter Notation, all notations after log notation have been shifted plus one. Your settings may change if you use any of those notations.
Diamond Shop: Time Bender IAP now multiplies offline progress as well.
Ice: Added a button where you can queue freeze mode on the next prestige. This is so you don’t have to disable auto prestige anymore!
Guide: Added accelerator descriptions in the accelerator guide page.
Crafting: In tubes layer, auto brewing potions now subtracts your crafting production display.
Added a “Set Current Crafting Layout as Preset Layout” button”.
The Map: Added the ability to load a cloud save in the Map. If you want full control on what you want to choose, it’s best to go to the main menu.
Menu: An export save button (for local saves only)
Adventure: Zones now display their stage.
Misc: Added a confirmation for going to Daily Solitaire.
Extra stuff in the navigation panel has been moved to its own section, to reduce clutter.
The accelerator icons have different colors
(Mobile only) Ad button height is smaller: 50px => 35px
Diamond Shop: Special upgrade now gives 2.0x per level, instead of 1.5x. However, the Energy boost will remain at 1.5x per Diamond Item added.
Accelerators: Normal and Booster accelerators that have colors of flasks/tubes that haven’t been unlocked will be gray instead.
Crafting: Base crafting time for red tubes has been reduced from 30 down to 10 seconds. What was I thinking?
Fire: Auto Prestige upgrade cost 1e15 => 1e8
Presets upgrade cost 1e5 => 1e3
Minor UI bugs
Settings: UI Scale slider updates the text, it also displays the correct number now
(iOS only): Fixed the black bar setting from toggling off.
Potions: Autos sometimes not buying
Ice: Fixed an issue where any form of Fire gains upgrade would not boost Fire gains while in Freeze mode, if you have 0 Ice Items.
Adventure: Fixed the issue where the enemy would not be killed if HP was exactly 0.
Deploy All now goes off of the % Tubes to deploy.
Saving: Fixed an issue where loading tubes while logged in on cloud will wipe the Flasks save sometimes.
Fixed an issue where loading into tubes for the first time from the menu loads into a new flask save and overwrites your data.
Crafting: Preset related bugs
Potions: An exploit where you could get free potions.
Offline: Sometimes, offline would not save properly. I added a backup offline thingy that should fix this.
Fixed an offline exploit based on device
Diamond Shop: Removed timer for New Player Bundle, some people would start with an empty timer.
