changedCompleting focus rounds now gives small gold and XP rewards. If you stop early, the finished minutes still pay out a partial reward.
changedThe focus timer also works in the idle window. A simple countdown appears over the vivarium, and focus or break completion can play a sound and call attention back to the window.
addedAdded the new Sunglow morph, with warm orange tones and much lighter spotting.
changedReworked several existing morphs with clearer color zones, more natural spot density, softer belly tones, and warmer tail coloration so each one feels more distinct.
changedChanged the DNA panel from a long horizontal row into a paged grid, making morph selection easier as more morphs are unlocked.

  • Changed the DNA panel from a long horizontal row into a paged grid, making morph selection easier as more morphs are unlocked.

  • Added more control over light fixtures. Lights can now be switched on or off manually, or set to an automatic day/night mode.

  • Improved care basin placement checks. Food and water bowls now need reachable space around them, which should reduce cases where a bowl could be placed but the gecko could not comfortably reach it.

  • Smoothed climbing contact on hides, stone arches, and driftwood. Feet should look more settled on uneven surfaces, with fewer awkward flips, floating steps, or clipping moments.

  • Fixed a small EXP tooltip sizing issue on first hover, and improved compatibility for some older save data.
