Hey penguins! 🐧
A new demo patch is live! This one focuses on quality-of-life improvements, a couple of gameplay tweaks, and some UI polish, plus a few important fixes. Here’s what’s new in v1.0.1.7:

Additions & Improvements

Added a system that sends gameplay tips through the Messages app.
Updated the Village Chief’s appearance.
Added a tip display when clicking an item in the Inventory screen.
Increased ski speed.

Fixes

Fixed an issue where the snowball could get stuck when pressing Q. Pressing Q again now correctly releases the snowball.
Fixed an issue where very long messages in the Messages app would overlap each other.
Fixed localization issues.

Changes

Reduced market prices by 50% (boss gone crazy).

Thanks again for all the feedback, it genuinely helps a ton. ❤️
If you spot anything weird (or have a tiny annoyance you keep bumping into), tell us and we’ll keep polishing!
