Highlights
Enemy Rework
Enemies have been completely reworked, including new attack patterns, new mechanics, and animations. Elite versions of bosses can also now appear! Some enemies are missing animations or use placeholder models.
Fishing Rework
Fish shadows now look like fish! Look for distinct shadows for different types of fish to find what you are looking for. Fish also respond more to your bobber, a fish won't see a bobber that's behind it. New fishing controls require precise timing, don't mistake a nibble for a bite!
Community Chest
The new community chest on Anchor Island allows you to share gold with other players (with a tax). Perfect for when your friend lost all their gold playing Captain's dice...
Biplane Minigame
You can now fly a toy biplane on Anchor Island! Do a time trial to climb the leaderboards, race your friends, battle in a dogfight, or just explore the island in a little plane.
Emotes
You can now emote! Hold the middle mouse button to open the new emote wheel and dance on your friends when you steal all their gold!
