addedπŸ†• What's NEW?πŸ’Ž A tablet has been added to the game, allowing players to return to side-quest locations (where they can freely decorate and look after the aquariums and the fish inside them), so the number of places where players can set up their own aquariums and breed fish is increasing. We will be making these locations available in future updates. Currently, the ability to return to the TV studio location and the flat with the kitchen island converted into an aquarium has been restored. The next update will include an art museum exhibition location and a jungle/beach location.
addedπŸ†• What's NEW?πŸ’Ž An option to skip the initial tutorial has been added to the game if you have already completed it (in which case you can start straight away from the moment you reach the shop in the basement)
addedπŸ†• What's NEW?πŸ’Ž A new icon has been added next to the fish in the in-game shop, which informs you at the time of purchase of the minimum number of fish required to keep that species happy
changedπŸ†• What's NEW?πŸ”Ή We’ve changed it so that if a player fails to complete the task of breeding fish from species discovered by scientists (which appear in 4 different levels), they will now receive new shipments of these fish after a few in-game days have passed, and players can try to complete the task again
removedπŸ†• What's NEW?πŸ”Ή We’ve further optimized the Aztec level; there should no longer be any FPS drops or crashes on it

πŸ”Ή We’ve changed it so that if a player fails to complete the task of breeding fish from species discovered by scientists (which appear in 4 different levels), they will now receive new shipments of these fish after a few in-game days have passed, and players can try to complete the task again

πŸ”Ή We’ve further optimized the Aztec level; there should no longer be any FPS drops or crashes on it

πŸ”Ή The shop where you buy items has been slightly redesigned; items now appear in 5 columns, making it easier to find them and improving readability

πŸ”Ή Fixed a bug that could, in rare cases, cause an ice block with a fish to disappear in the Arctic level

πŸ”Ή Fish get hungry a little more slowly, so you’ll need to feed them a little less often

πŸ”Ή It’s now practically impossible to push an item underground in the aquarium so that it can’t be retrieved later

πŸ”Ή It is slightly easier to complete the final quest in the Japanese DLC

πŸ”Ή Fixed a bug where you could pick up an item using E while the item shop was open

πŸ”Ή Adjustments to how quests are displayed in different languages so they don’t extend beyond the edge of the screen

πŸ”Ή Fixed an issue where players would sometimes get stuck in the tutorial because they ran out of money

πŸ”Ή Fixed a bug where Arctic decorations didn’t count in locations other than the Arctic when checking the stats of Arctic fish. This now works correctly

πŸ”Ή Fixed a rare bug that caused players to lose the camera for taking photos in underwater locations. This is now fixed; if you encountered this bug, the camera will reappear on the table when you re-enter an underwater location

πŸ”Ή Many minor fixes reported by players ‡️‡️‡️
