Bodian's Bay Wash 1.0 is out now - StandAlone Version & Kraken Update
Bodian's Bay Wash · published · build 25636135
We made it: Bodian's Bay Wash is out of Early Access!
Today, Bodian's Bay Wash reaches version 1.0. Every bug report, review and piece of feedback from Early Access helped shape this release. To everyone who played along the way: thank you. This one is yours too.
Highlights
The Kraken is here — the bay was never as calm as it looked. Something has been watching from the deep, and now it's time to meet it.
New customer mechanics — not every client is polite. Deal with rude customers, and lend a hand to the ones who need help.
Lumen Grenade — a new consumable in the shop that reveals any grime you missed. Boats now need to be cleaned to 100%, and this is your best friend for finding that last spot.
A faster start — the tutorial was reworked (again!). You now arrive with the pressure washer in hand and are cleaning within moments.
Full colorblind support — accessibility modes for all types of color blindness.
Huge performance improvements — major optimizations across the game.
