Hello Pond Residents,
Our third new content update, "Beach Episode," is now live! This update introduces a new biome, more enemies, adorable axolittles, and an exciting new challenging boss! With this new alternate biome, we expand the content in the original game, and now you have a total of 7 possible biomes inside the run to reach the end.
This is our first content update of 2024, but not the last. For those of you in our Discord or following us on socials you already know but in case you missed it we have
very, very big plans for future updates this year 🙊.
Oh, and if you've been eyeing AK-xolotl, or want to gift it, now's the time!
We're part of the Steam Spring Sale starting from March 14th, with a 40% off discount. Now, let’s dive in (pun intended) on the details of this update. Here's a rundown of all the new content awaiting your exploration:
- New Biome: welcome to “La Playa”! A new alternative biome 3 is now available, and you will be able to decide which path to take. And of course, a new biome also means new enemies. Have fun exploring and getting wet! We couldn’t have an amphibian as a playable character and not have a water biome, right?
- New Boss: alongside our new biome, you will be able to face a brand-new boss, the Killer Calves! Have you been skipping leg day? We hope not, and you are ready since these waves are not your typical ankle slappers! And maybe, just maybe you’ll be able to smile back at this smiling bro and say, “Let me get one wave before you take me”.
- New Axolittles: reports tell us that new axolittles have been spotted in the wild, time to hatch ‘em all!
- New Enemies: The adorable Pengu with its dual revolvers, a floating octopus with the eyes of a killer, a cocktail of a couple deadly shrimps, a puffer, and we even have reports of some sort of crab tank.
As usual, we have also introduced some new balance changes and bug fixes to further enhance your gameplay experience.
