Hey everyone!
A lot of you asked for more transparency about what’s changing between updates — so from now on, every patch will come with clear notes like this one 👇
This update focuses on smoother performance, smarter water behavior, and more freedom in how you play.


⏱️ Time Challenge Is Now Optional

  • Time Challenge still exists — but it’s no longer the default mode.

  • Many players felt rushed, so levels now start untimed by default.

  • You can still activate Time Challenge in Settings or on the End Screen.

  • Star Ratings only appear when Time Challenge is active.


đź§° Gameplay Improvements

  • Tools can no longer be stacked on top of each other.

  • Fixed an issue where water wouldn’t delete properly when placing the hose on a generator.


🏙️ Level & Performance

  • Major performance boost for Midtown Market.

  • Improved flooding prevention system to stop water from overflowing where it shouldn’t.


đź’§ UI & Visuals

  • Translated all End Screen text.

  • Increased bubble size and spawn rate for drains — easier to spot and more satisfying!

  • Improved water highlighting, now limited to relevant areas for better clarity.


đź“» Audio

  • Fixed radiocasts not playing or triggering correctly.

  • ⚠️ Note: This fix might reset radio progress in older savegames.
