Tiny Glass Tank: Dwarf Shrimp and Friends changes
πHello, tiny tank keepers!π
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.
π 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.
πΏ 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.
π 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.
π οΈ Small Improvements
This update also includes:
adjusted Scoop difficulty for Map 4
better overlap between critters, branches, foreground pieces, and hanging decorations
π From the Manatee
βI prepared a quiet summer display.β
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!
