:fishing_pole: LAST THURSDAY: Pixel Paradise - Fishing Club Event

You made a splash. Our brand-new Fishing Club event type went live and you dove right in: tap to fish, sell your catches for Fish Coins, upgrade your gear, and reel in Event Tickets. All wrapped in dreamy sea-blue Y2K nostalgia. :optical_disk::ocean: Thank you to everyone who cast a line, and huge love to the crew who built the world and the rods. :blue_heart:

We know a few of you hit snags finding the fishing rooms and ran into glitches mid-run, and we hear you (more in Your Feedback below).

:joker: THIS THURSDAY: Alley Cat - Prank Event

The alley’s about to get mischievous. This Thursday (7/23) we’re launching Alley Cat, a brand-new Prank Event, so bring your sneakiest grin. :cat_with_wry_smile::sparkles:

New this round:

  • Daily rewards: log in every day of the event to claim stacking rewards. Purchase the Daily Pass for even more rewards every day!
  • Pachinko Machine: earn and drop coins, then cash in items and progress in a new reward track.

:package: RECENTLY RELEASED

Here’s what dropped this week:

  • Moonlight Glow (7/22) - back by demand for anyone who missed it the first time. → Open the sale
  • Mood Swing Emote (7/21, re-release) - Express every emotion. → Open the sale
  • Distorted Youth (7/20) - our new masculine Blind Box: neon-lit late nights, skate-park concrete, and unpardonable street style. → Open the grab
  • Parisian Pets (7/19) - a grab created with UnLovable, full of chic little companions. → Open the grab
  • After Midnight (7/13) - a late-night avatar grab. → Open the grab

:hammer_and_wrench: IN 4.29.7 (NEXT CLIENT UPDATE)

The next client update rolls up recent polish and event support:

  • Reworked Tasks & Achievements system - Why: cleaner, more reliable daily tasks and achievement progress, with your existing progress carried over.
  • Shop & sale polish - Why: fixes like sale art overlapping buttons and cleaner set/IAP previews so the shop reads clearly.

:speech_balloon: YOUR FEEDBACK

We’re reading the forums, Discord, and reviews. A few things you’ve told us loud and clear:

  • Grab and bubble pricing feels steep. This is the loudest one right now: many of you say spins are too expensive and full grabs feel out of reach, and there’s real appetite for cheaper or free bubble grabs on older/legacy items. We hear you, this is on our radar and something we’re actively thinking about.
  • Mid-event glitches during Pixel Paradise. Some of you got knocked out mid-run and couldn’t get back in. That’s not the experience we want, and stability during events is a priority as we grow.

Thank you for playing, building, and telling us the truth. See you in the alley. :cat_with_wry_smile:
