Brice for Miju Games

Just a small update with some bug fixes and a tiny bit of halloween fun :)


ADDED: Halloween - birds are bats for a short time
ADDED: Pumpkin item (seasonal) - can be found with high probability in dig spots after unlocking the shovel
ADDED: Unstuck option in settings (for when your bun is stuck from opening those crates too vivaciously)

----

FIXED BUG: Inspecting an item when it is being destroyed causes the inspection UI to stay on screen (for example, inspecting a seed immediately as it’s being potted)
FIXED BUG: Carryable object blinking effect doesn’t work if the “Use Button Context Help” setting is disabled
FIXED BUG: Tutorial doesn’t move to the next section when opening the main menu plantipedia (only advances for mini plantipedia)
FIXED BUG: Opening a mini menu (plantipedia, emotes, character customization) during a video tutorial tip will prevent closing the tutorial tip at all

• Fixed a bug that caused the Merchant to freeze if the new Esdras companion is available.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Double Edged Sword relic from causing additional harm to the player.

Get hyped for the game launch as two of the devs, Ville and Harri will play through the demo on a recorded broadcast!

- fixed some minor bugs

We are happy to announce the release of the PureG Benchmark, made by long-time KovaaK’s players Fallen and dokkie. Test your mettle against this challenging Benchmark and see how high you rank!

Though locals have long warned against demoing once the sun goes down, a group of foolish teens has unleashed a long-buried horror from deep below. As the villains of classic horror franchises rise from the soil, brave players who survive their Challenges can earn horrifying rewards.

Play Spooky Cube and Heatseeker in the cursed Farmstead (Spooky) Arena to unlock Golden Pumpkins and Haunted Hallows Challenge Rewards. Still need the perfect spine-chilling soundtrack? Discover frightful Horror Villain Player Anthems in the Item Shop.

Be afraid! Your worst nightmares come to life from October 19 to November 1.




Throughout Haunted Hallows, players can complete Haunted Hallows Challenges to unlock rewards inspired by iconic horror movies. Hardcore horror fans will love the Jigsaw Blade Wheels and Sam’s Treat Wheels, while the Snazzy Skull Topper is perfect for those who prefer the fun side of our favorite spooky season.

Wanna Play? Chucky’s Good Guys Wheels will be your friend till the end! We just need to work out a couple of “technical issues” where they “come to life” and start “chasing players.”

Made from a very special kind of leather, the Leatherface’s Mask Decal will have you screaming with excitement. Just don’t ask us where we got it.

Let the games begin! The Billy The Puppet Decal will have you laughing all the way to the winner’s circle. Just don’t let your ego spiral out of control.


Sam has a different Rule #1 than players might be used to: ALWAYS give candy to trick-or-treaters.

In the ghoulish spirit of giving, players can earn Golden Pumpkins to unlock Items from the Velocity, Triumph, and Auriga Item Series’. Golden Pumpkins work just like previous Golden rewards⁠—complete the Challenge up to five times to earn Golden Pumpkins, then open them in your Inventory to unlock items.

Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore. After all, players can also pick up the free “Sole Survivor” Player Title in the Item Shop!


Nothing sets the mood quite like the perfect spooky soundtrack. This season, stock up on scares with Horror Villain Player Anthems from some of horror’s most iconic franchises. Need a little something extra to cut through the noise? The Billy The Puppet Goal Explosion will also be sold for 800 Credits! These Items will all be available in the Item Shop throughout Haunted Hallows.

• Halloween Player Anthem

Now, the game's simple. Best ones are. Spooky Cube brings a bit of Halloween fun to Farmstead (Spooky) Arena with a dynamic pumpkin cube. With increased ball speed and random bounces, you’ll need to maximize your Halloween spirit if you want to smash this pumpkin! Spooky Cube will be playable from October 19 to 26.




Dearly departed, we gather here today to play a bone-rattling game of Heatseeker. Like a zombie drawn to brains, the ball will rocket towards your opponent's goal as soon as you touch it, leading to hair-raising long shots and even more terrifying whiffs! Heatseeker will be playable in Farmstead (Spooky) Arena from October 26 to November 1.

Get your candy bowls ready! Haunted Hallows comes alive from October 19 to November 1.

We received some suggestions which we took on board. Also we fixed some stuff which were reported on our discord or from the automated crash logs that we received.


- Support for uploading screenshots to Steam. You can know press F12 (default key) and take a screenshot that you can share on Steam community.

- Tweaked time to drop something from inventory
- Arrow packs and banana packs now need to picked up since it was annoying players to auto-pick up

- Fixes related to crashes when doing an explosive on top of a cage. The developer didn't test that scenario... he is playing it wrongly it seems.
- Do not allow to carry Egg in inventory. This was causing problems. Who carries a dragon egg anyway?!
- Do not allow to put player in the vault when playing coop. LOL! Now this was funny!
- Do not break stuff protected by cage when there's an explosion. Some players found a way how to pop out the object in the cage with an explosive.
