Boosted Rewards, Task Rerolls & Versus Overhaul!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone!I’ve just rolled out a brand-new update for Monkey Wave! Based heavily on player feedback, this patch focuses on making early progression feel much smoother, while giving you more control over your tasks and refining the Versus Mode experience.Here is everything new in today's update:

🎁 Bigger & Better Task Rewards!

I heard your feedback about progression feeling a bit tight, so I’m boosting your early task rewards to help you progress more smoothly!

  • First Task Reward: Increased to 125 Coins (up from 100).

  • Second Task Reward: Increased to 125 Bamboo (up from 100).

These extra resources will give you a nice head start every day to unlock new skins, upgrades, and icons faster!

🔄 Refresh Your Tasks

Stuck on a tricky task or just want to roll for something that fits your playstyle better? You can now refresh Daily Tasks and Bounty Tasks using coins! This gives you total flexibility to clear your board and keep earning rewards on your own terms.

⚔️ Clearer Versus Mode Flow: Ranked vs. Casual

I want everyone to enjoy Versus Mode at their own pace. I've updated the flow to make competitive and relaxed play possible:

  • Ranked Mode: Bring your A-game! This is the competitive queue where you fight to earn Trophies and climb the leaderboards.

  • Casual Mode: Kick back and relax! Enjoy the chaotic fun of Versus Mode to practice or warm up, with zero risk to your Trophy count.

💰 Scaled Coin Rewards in Versus Mode

Your hard-earned Trophies now directly impact your wallet! I've overhauled the Versus Mode economy so that it pays out more coins based on your Trophy count. The higher you climb the Ranked ladder, the higher your base coin reward will be at the end of matches. It pays to be at the top!

🛠️ Bug Fixes

Along with the new features, I’ve squashed a batch of pesky bugs reported by the community to make overall performance and gameplay much smoother. Thank you to everyone who submitted bug reports!Jump in, grab those upgraded task rewards, and let me know what you think of the changes in the Steam Discussions. See you in the waves!
