Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator News

Hi everyone,

Today’s update is a BIG one for all you world cleaners and animal helpers! We’ve got a whole bunch of new content, not only a new map that is completely free, but also some updates to the original maps in the game to keep you relaxed and interested.

This time, you’ll set forth on a journey to a completely new map - Africa - that will test your world cleaning skills! You’ll also meet some new animal friends - namely, the beautiful ostriches.



But before we jump into the details, we’d like to let you know that our newest game - Captain Pawsome - launches today in Early Access!

Captain Pawsome is a cozy 2D fishing game where you play as the titular captain. You’ll manage your own shop and upgrade your ship as you journey across the ocean, cleaning up the environment and catching tens of unique types of fish. If you’d like to set sail on a relaxing adventure with your own feline captain, be sure to check Captain Pawsome out!

Now, let’s jump into the details of what’s new in Fresh Start with today’s update!

[h2]New map: Africa[/h2]


Those fires need to be put out and nature has to be restored to this beautiful piece of land! As you traverse the map, you'll stumble upon a quaint chapel atop a hill in need of restoration. Additionally, prepare to take on an entirely new challenge, as you help establish a coffee plantation! One of the other highlights of this map is your chance to encounter and assist the majestic ostriches in their natural habitat.



[h2]Old maps, new activities![/h2]

Each of the original maps now has 2 additional activities for you to complete. One is required for progress, the other one is not, but we’ve got a feeling that you’ll want to finish it anyway. The first one is cleaning muddied dirty posters that have been scattered around the maps. Give each of those a good ol’ splash and you should be done in no time at all. We've also scattered adorable new feline friends across these beloved maps and the second update is related to those fellas. Each of these furry friends has a knack for stylish headgear! While exploring, keep an eye out for a hat that you can place on your furry companions. It's a heartwarming experience that's not mandatory to complete the level but should add an extra layer of joy to your adventure.



[h2]New map layout[/h2]
Finally, we’ve made slight changes to the overall layout of the world map to make it look better, while also trying to improve its readability.



And that's all for today! We hope you enjoy cleaning up and bringing back nature and color to the 2 new areas. Thank you for continuing to keep the world clean and beautiful in Fresh Start!

Happy cleaning!

As the Chicken Launcher team and Awaken Realms as a whole, we want to wish you a cheerful and joyful Christmas, and may this upcoming New Year be filled with amazing indie games that will enrich your libraries and bring you much joy—something we personally aim for as well!

Fresh Start just got even fresher with the addition of a brand new map - say hello to the Port! This once-beautiful seaside location is in urgent need of your help to restore its former glory. Get ready to plant roses, fix up the fish and chips stand, and bring back the shine to the founder raccoon's statues.

You can access The port from world map window after completing the game!



And the best part? This update is completely free! So what are you waiting for? Update the game and let's get to work cleaning up the Port. See you there, cleaners!

Hey cleaners,

Hope you're having a fresh day! The newest patch for Fresh Start is here, but first, let us express our deepest thanks to you, again. We're super happy about how the game's release went (aside from the bugs, of course - we hate them, too) and it brings us so much joy to know you've been enjoying the game. Thanks to you, we’re happy pandas!



We know that there have been some frustrating bugs and problems you've been encountering, so we set out to sort these out! You should now be able to get all the achievements while NOT falling out of the maps. Pretty cool! If you want to take a look at a detailed breakdown for this patch, here it is:

- Steam achievements are fixed!
Now you should finally be able to complete your achievement stamp collection by befriending all animals.

- Added an out of bounds failsafe mechanism
While it is unknown to us how to do it, some of you clever cleaners found a way to explore the endless underworld of the Fresh Start maps. Now, if that happens to you, you'll never again experience the endless fall - shortly after getting out of bounds you will be teleported back to the start of the map.

- New feature - the "Back to Map" option
However if you can still manage to take the fall and are not taken back, or get stuck anywhere, you can use the new "Back to Map" option from the menu. Pressing the button will take you straight to the world map where you can restart the level you got stuck in (all experience points and junk will be saved for you).



- Onsen & robots bug fixed
It is now possible to place robots in the onsen building.

- Added the Control Guide feature
We've added a new section in the controls settings and now, you'll be able to easily access the controls guide (you can also quickly check it while you play by pressing the H button - this works outside of the tutorial)

We wanted to share something extra with you, as well. Turns out some Youtubers are enjoying Fresh Start as well, so we thought we'd point you to a couple of great gameplay videos from some amazing content creators. Sometimes it's good to put your own tools down and see someone else revive the world. Enjoy!
