Hi everyone, and welcome to our launch day patch notes! There are two huge updates in our launch build, as well as a ton of smaller updates, so let’s break it down.
Challenges are a new game mode where you can run through a series of games with special conditions.
We have 24 fun challenges and 5 will start unlocked.
To unlock more, earn challenge points.
For each challenge, you’ll earn points for beating it. The higher the difficulty you beat it on, the more points you’ll earn, up to 8.
Challenges will also have a random ability starter.
Instead of just 3 zookeepers in the demo, the launch build has 20!
All zookeepers have unique dialogue lines on selection, win, loss, start of game, a collection fun fact, and a sticky note in the calendar.
Most Zookeepers also have unique loss faces.
Most zookeepers also have unique sfx.
General UI Polish (profile, game board, etc)
Croc and shark bite vfx
Polished animal art to be more consistent.
New Achievements (up to 47). Will show up in both steam and collection in game.
New special events (Talent Scout, Penalty Zone, Best for Last, and Food Fight).
Animals that score their points again now “chunk” point correctly.
More SFX added across the game.
