🎐Hello, tiny tank keepers!🎐

Manatee heard a few wind chimes near the shop.

Then came the shaved ice.

Then two festival stalls appeared.

At that point, asking questions seemed less important than decorating.

A tiny summer festival has arrived in Tiny Glass Tank, bringing 18 new decorations, a new View Mode, and a few small balance and presentation improvements.

πŸŽ‹ New Summer Festival Collection

Twelve new festival decorations are now available in the shop:

  • Lemon Kakigori

  • Melon Kakigori

  • Strawberry Kakigori

  • Blue Water Yoyo

  • Pink Water Yoyo

  • Cream Kitsune Mask

  • White Kitsune Mask

  • Okonomiyaki Stall

  • Takoyaki Stall

  • Summer Wind Chime Tree

  • Watermelon Half

  • Watermelon Slice

Build a tiny food lane.

Hang wind chimes beside the plants.

Leave half a watermelon on the sand with no explanation.

Manatee considers all three proper aquarium design.

🌿 Bonus Summer Decorations

Six additional seasonal pieces have also joined the shop:

  • Jade Broadleaf

  • Lavender Broadleaf

  • Pink Petal Carpet

  • Red Carp Streamer

  • Blue Carp Streamer

  • Tanabata Bamboo

They are not part of the main festival set, but they fit nicely into bright summer gardens, colorful tank corners, and increasingly suspicious underwater celebrations.

πŸ‘€ New View Mode

A new View Mode has been added for quietly watching your tanks.

While View Mode is active:

  • gameplay simulation is paused

  • critters can continue gentle passive movement

  • plants and animated decorations can keep moving

  • water ripples and surface animations remain visible

  • entering or leaving View Mode does not change or resave tank data

View Mode stays unavailable while food is placed, creatures are eating, decorations are being moved, important menus are open, or the tank is still restoring.

The tank may pose for the camera, but only after it has finished chewing.

πŸ› οΈ Small Improvements

This update also includes:

  • adjusted Scoop difficulty for Map 4

  • better overlap between critters, branches, foreground pieces, and hanging decorations

πŸ‹ From the Manatee

β€œI prepared a quiet summer display.”

There are two food stalls, three bowls of shaved ice, several masks, flying carp, and an unreasonable amount of watermelon.

We may have different definitions of quiet.

Thank you for playing and taking care of your tiny glass world!

Update Details

  • Added 12 summer festival decorations

  • Added 6 bonus seasonal decorations

  • Added View Mode / Showcase Pause

  • Adjusted Map 4 Scoop difficulty

  • Improved layering and occlusion for the new decorations

Promotional artwork was created using AI-assisted composition based on real in-game items. All featured decorations are included in this update, with additional staging used for presentation.
