This upcoming update focuses on synchronization reliability, progression accuracy, boost calculations, and overall game responsiveness.

Synchronization Fixes

This update should resolve all known synchronization issues, including:

  • Daily Challenge list population

  • Daily Challenge progress tracking

  • Achievement progression tracking

  • Boost calculation inconsistencies

Additional sync improvements:

  • Equipped eggs should now remain equipped until they are genuinely pending for hatch or manually swapped.

  • Equipped pets and eggs should no longer occasionally revert during click submissions.

  • Incubator claims should no longer revert progression.

ALL BOOSTS FIXED

This is the biggest change in the update.

While click gains were previously calculating very close to their intended values, Coin and XP progression were not fully scaling from boosted click values.

Previously:

  • Coin and XP boosts were being applied to raw clicks.

  • The client was displaying it calculated from boosted clicks.

  • This mismatch could result in visible progress pullbacks.

With v4.3.00:

  • Coin progression now properly compounds from boosted clicks.

  • XP progression now properly compounds from boosted clicks.

  • Hatch progression now properly compounds from boosted clicks.

  • Luck progression now properly compounds from boosted clicks.

  • Store ownership click boosts, achievement XP boosts, and related progression bonuses now remain synchronized with server validation.

Players should no longer experience progression pullbacks caused by boost desynchronization.

Boost Bottle Changes

Boost bottles have been updated:

  • Hatch Boost Bottles now provide 2x your multiplier.

  • Luck Boost Bottles now provide 2x your multiplier.

  • XP Boost Bottles now provide 2x your multiplier.

This change provides significantly more value to newer players and allows boost scaling to remain effective throughout progression.

Coin Queue Returns

The Coin Queue system has returned and click queue has been tweaked.

How it works:

  • Clicks/coins are collected into a queue.

  • At each submit interval, the server validates clicks and returns your progress.

  • Confirmed clicks and coins drain from the queue into your verified totals through a 4-second animation.

Current behavior:

  • Queue values may appear roughly 2 seconds behind your true pending progression

  • EXP bars currently display optimistic local progress before server confirmation.

Planned improvement:

  • Unconfirmed EXP progress will be displayed using a separate color/shade so it is easier to distinguish from confirmed progression.

As always, feedback is appreciated while we continue refining the system. More tweaks are coming to improve the feel of submitting progression to the server.

Performance Improvements

  • Removed lag when tiering pets.

  • Removed lag when purchasing boosts.

  • These actions now process in the background instead of interrupting gameplay.

Additional optimization:

  • Reduced local save write frequency and other backend operations have been simplified.

  • Players should see another small performance improvement.

Reminder:

  • Local save data remains a cache and stores settings, equipped pets, and equipped eggs.

  • All progression, RNG, rewards, and calculations remain server-authoritative.

Visual Updates

  • Minor visual improvements throughout the UI.

  • Additional visual polish is planned for future updates.

Remaining Bugs

  • Prestige does not show "PENDING" when waiting for the next submit after confirmation.

  • Another sync need to run after all players update to catch up achievement progression for hatching. Players should be close to fully accurate at this time. [missing only a few hours of progression][a full silent recovery is coming in 24h - 48h].

Community Celebration Bonus

To celebrate finally crushing these long-standing boost and synchronization bugs:

🎉 The Community Pet has received an additional 72-hour boost timer!

Let's see if we can set a new Community Button click record together!

One Button. One Global Number. Everyone Together.
