FurryFury 1.0 - Release the Beasts!

Howdy good people (and beasts),
The time has come; after 2 years, we’re coming out of EarlyAccess! It doesn’t mean the end of production, not by any means. But it’s a great occasion to drop a juicy update. Featuring new playable beast, neutral creature, adventure chapter, boss, and much much more. Let’s jump right into it!

New Stuff:

• iOS premiere! We release the update 1.0 simultaneously on PC, Android, and now, also on iOS, maintaining cross-playability between all those platforms,
• New playable beast: Rikiki! He’s a wilder ratling, creates a friend-boosting enemy-hurting nest which stays on the arena until the end of match, and also shoots spikes in all directions when angry.

• Added 5th chapter of the adventure: featuring 3 unique arenas full of shrooms, challenges, new enemies and a weird boss. Beware the Almighty Totemor and his wicked followers: masked Tikimors!
• New neutral beast: Brew - the jar maker. If you ever wondered who gets up early every morning and puts all those potions in crates, he is the guy.
• Added 2 arenas to the Versus modes rooster: Carrot field and Boss jungle. Also improved the setups randomization so expect some unusual neutral guests on well known arenas.

• New customizations category: Cloud Shapes! You can set a different shape to each of your clouds with a total of 8 shapes available currently.
• 8 new achievements, with 8 new avatars to get in return.
• 5 new beast skins, including one legendary.
• Added win streak bonus to ranked matches: +1 extra Fame for each victory in a row (+1 for 2nd victory, +2 for 3rd, +3 for 4th and so on). Bonus resets when you lose.
• Upgraded the ranking meter, so if you are in the last - Legends League, your next threshold becomes the number one player, so you can see how far you are from being the best.
• Added some new sounds, for Mummean’s Vampiric flies, Bluzard’s Thunderclap zone, Babowacky’s trap trigger and Bubak’s link break.

Changes/Upgrades:

• Bubak’s long awaited balance (read: nerf): his Anti-Death Crystal now has limited range. Push him out of it, and he is powerless. Still love him,
• Pearbear returns to his former glory: His 1st ability cost is reduced from 1 to 0. Now go and drink… I mean kick some furry butts,
• Mummean’s last skill (Mega scarabs) cost reduced from 7 to 6,
• Performance improvement in matches, around 5-7%.
• Noticeably shortened loading time of adventure matches,
• Unified info popups across the menus; they are now all in the form of a cloud.
• In match: opening character card now highlights the character in the top bar as well,
• Increased level cap to 70,
• Before, all matches with 1+ bots were treated as bot matches when it came to the rewards (that being halved). Now, if there are 2+ human players, the match is treated normally (with full reward). Also added specific comments to post-match spoils for easier differentiation.
