Coral Island v1.2b "Haunted House & Minigames" update is now live!
This update includes new content and various improvements to the game:
New content releasing in v1.2b
Minigame: Haunted House
We added a new minigame! It’s a partner-only activity, so grab a romanceable NPC you’ve already hung out with. They won’t go if you haven’t. For one night, Ling’s mansion becomes a Haunted House. Find it right behind the Clinic.
Haunted House is now available during the Spooky Festival!
Ask a romanceable NPC to go in with you... if you dare.
Tattoo Shop
For anyone wanting a tattoo but terrified of needles, come here instead. The (hot) Coral Island tattoo artist is now taking commissions! My first one will be a Pufferfish tattoo. Gotta show my loyalty. Sorry, folks.
Rysy’s Tattoo Shop is now open, with a selection of unique tattoos ready to purchase.
You can access the shop once you’ve obtained the Seal of Naga.
NPC Improvements
Okay, good news: you’re no longer the only one who can start hugs and kisses. NPCs can finally do it too! Some of youpointed out that it felt kind of one-sided before, and yeah. True, that was kind of lame. Relationships go both ways.
Now your loved one might come up asking for a hug or kiss, and you can decline without them getting upset. No punishment, no relationship points lost.
Romanceable NPCs you’re dating can now initiate a hug.
If you’re married, your spouse can now hug and kiss you.
We also added new dynamic dialogue lines.
Hangout: Watch a Film
You can now pick the film you want to watch when hanging out with a romanceable NPC. We’ve added a variety of movies to the theatre, and the screen now displays actual media. The days of the empty screen are over!
Minigame: Arcades
The Recreation Center’s Arcade now has four playable minigames: Dance Dash, Mining Mania, Galaxy Invaders, and Mice Survivors. Rack up tickets and trade them in for prizes using the ticket machine inside. Play as long as you like, time stops while you’re playing the arcade, and all games are free.99!
Fun fact: Mice Survivors was originally created by a 7-year-old and later remade by the Coral Island team. Its original name was Donut Survivor.
Rice Terrace Growth
You’ll now see farmers working in the rice fields near Jack’s ranch and right behind your house! Except during fall and winter, when they take a break from the cold. The rice grows with the seasons, and you can actually watch it change.
It’s a little bit of Bali brought into Coral Island. The fields use an approach inspired by the Subak irrigation system, something from home we wanted to share.
Pets
Pets are not only keeping you company on the farm, but they also have a 20% chance to bring you little gifts. And if you own two or more of the same type, they’ll actually play together!
End of Season Recap Screen
For all the data lovers out there, we’ve added a Season Recap screen. You’ll see it at the end of the day on the final day of each season (the 28th).
New Points of Interest
We added a few fun points of interest (POI) around the island. As you play, hover your mouse over different spots. If the magnifying glass appears,
