Hey penguins! 🐧
A new demo patch is live! This update brings a minimap refresh, some important bug fixes, and a couple of gameplay polish changes (including a sneaky XP exploit fix). Here’s what’s new in v1.0.2.1:

Additions & Improvements

Updated the minimap.
Added a particle effect to highlight Vaeluth’s stone in the sea.

Fixes

Fixed an exploit where players could gain infinite airtime and farm XP by using snowballs to stay suspended in the air.
Fixed an issue where players could accidentally slap while typing a message during fishing.
Fixed a broken collider on one of the rocks that allowed players to enter and exit it.

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!
