Hi all, we're putting out a patch to keep you entertained for the holidays! In addition to a ton of bug fixes, this patch has a focus on updates to daily challenge, as well as some UI improvements and a bit of new content. Here's a breakdown:

Daily Challenge Updates

  • Only your first run will count for the daily challenge leaderboard

  • Seed is hidden until after your first run

  • Instead of going into endless, there will be a special event on day 28 where you try and score as many points as possible. You will go until you hit 0 plays regardless of score.

New Stuff

  • Unique transitions for each week

  • Collection visual updates (more coming next patch)

  • Collection visible from settings while playing. 

  • New sfx in options menu

  • Long mouse over zoom for difficulties.

  • New board space vfx

  • New event: Construction day

  • New event: Capture the Flag

  • Endless mode now has shops and events

  • More zookeeper text lines.

  • Starter animal change to Terra (Ferret instead of Monkey).

  • Locked shop visuals

  • New design: Walrus

  • Deck view mouseover gives deck stats

Bug Fixes

  • Booster pack + Bigfoot no longer crashes

  • Tutorial popups as you win no longer cause crashes

  • Armadillo + Matching Outfit no longer crashes

  • Daily Challenge can no longer pick test hero

  • Animals will no longer show numbers lower than their base score with things like Night Owl.

  • Phoenix now works correctly with end of round effects when it wins a round.

  • Peacock now unlocks correctly after beating event.

  • Orca no longer works with starting slots.

  • Armadillo with 0 cards in hand no longer crashes.

  • Suckerfish no longer crashes with an empty deck.

Known Issues (will be addressed in the future)

  • Kangaroo + Pteradactyl can still create an infinite loop.

  • Board buffs sometimes linger between runs if you click play again. 

We hope you have a great holiday and enjoy the patch. Please share feedback on everything zoominoes in our discord.
