Hey Arcadians! ːsteamhappyː
Discord Come Come Come Join Us 500+ Members

Your favourite Arcade Tycoon Developers are back with another update. Some pesky bugs have shown up and we felt it was time to step back in a squash them. We've also made a couple of big changes to the game which we hope you will like.

One of the changes is that Stars are now persistent across all Campaign levels. This means you only need to unlock your favourite research just once to get it throughout the campaign. The same also applies to unlocking higher-tier Arcade types. Any Stars built up will show up on any campaign level for your profile.

We've also created a system that will backdate the Stars, Research and Arcade Types earned through an existing campaign. This is done through an analyzing screen that shows up the first time you load the game or change to an old profile for the first time.

Another exciting change is to how you build carpets, gone are the days of manually placing each floor tile. You can drag select up to a 12x12 region to place down your majestic flooring.

As usual, you can find all the fixes and new additions down below.

--------------------------------------------
~ Added arrow indicators to the Arcade Rating Panel that now show when values increase or decrease.
