Animal Academy β€” v1.4.0 Patch Notes

πŸŽ‰ New Features

Online Co-op (up to 4 players)

  • Added an online co-op mode where you can play the same run together with friends.

  • From the title screen: START β†’ ONLINE to create a room (HOST) or JOIN.

  • Join by connection code β€” use a LAN code on the same network, or a Steam code over the internet (both are shown).

  • Steam friend invites supported (F1 invite dialog / join instantly by accepting an invite).

  • Share EXP, level-ups, and synergy cards together, and get revived by a teammate when you go down.

  • Boss fights and the results screen (coins / kill count) are all handled co-op.

Map Terrain Objects

  • Themed terrain objects such as rocks, bushes, cacti, gravestones, and bones are now placed throughout stages.

  • Players and monsters are blocked by terrain objects (but can pass through with a dash), and density varies by area for more varied terrain.

Flying Monsters

  • Flying monsters such as dragons, fairies, and bomb types move over small terrain objects (large objects still block them).

Bosses Destroy Terrain

  • Giant bosses smash surrounding terrain objects as they move and attack.

βš–οΈ Balance

  • Adjusted monster density and HP, boss HP, and EXP requirements to scale with the number of co-op players.

  • Tuned terrain object placement density (to keep some breathing room).

πŸ› Bug Fixes

  • Normalized monster movement speed β€” fixed an issue where decimal speed values were truncated, causing some monsters to move slower than intended.

  • Bouncy Shell (combo) gold display β€” fixed an issue where it appeared blue in the build.

  • Improved Snakeling breath hit detection, stabilized monster appearance/spawning, and various other stability fixes.
