New Major Update 1.0.3 is here!

New Major Update 1.0.3 brings mouse and rebindable keyboard and controller support to Moonglow Bay + much more.

Available from today, we’re really excited to roll out Moonglow Bay 1.0.3 to further address some of the concerns and issues you’ve been reporting.

Ever since we launched back on October 26, we’ve been listening intently to your feedback and working hard behind the scenes to refine, polish, and optimise Moonglow Bay to make the experience as good as it can be.

Two of the biggest concerns we’ve heard from you is the lack of keyboard and mouse functionality and the option to remap your control scheme. With this update, we’re delighted to say that both are now possible!

1.0.3 also includes updates to the game’s UI, an improved cooking bar for the boiling minigame, as well as various character specific and gameplay tweaks and adjustments.
