  • [p]Galactic Mega Mall now tracks shops when not on board (meaning if you take it with your 5th and final shop of a turn, it’ll immediately trigger and give +15/+15)[/p]
  • [p]Gokatoo will now retrigger if you heal up past a full heart again. (i.e. if you heal to 2 hearts with Lich King’s Heart or golden Navii and then lose back down to 1 heart, Gokatoo will trigger again)[/p]
[hr][/hr][h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • [p]Fixed a bug where Beanstalk was not consistently buffing when it should[/p]
  • [p]Goldilocks was triggering Beanstalk buffs more than she should. How it should work now:[/p]
    • [p]Example: Beanstalk, Little Lance, Goldilocks[/p]
    • [p]Little Lance buffs all your slots -> triggers Beanstalk 1 time.[/p]
    • [p]Goldilocks sees all 4 other slots get buffed -> She buffs her slot 4 times -> triggers Beanstalk 4 times.[/p]
  • [p]Goat T was breaking a heart when stealing Midas on turn 1. This has been fixed[/p]
  • [p]Pretty Patissier now consistently turns treasures into Candy[/p]
  • [p]Sweet Treasures were not being removed from the pool[/p]
  • [p]You Meet in a Bakery now works properly when doubled[/p]
  • [p]Constellation Prize now waits until shop to trigger and doesn’t trigger when you lose the game[/p]
  • [p]Jack o Lantern was only buffing the first character, now buffs the all summoned characters as intended[/p]
  • [p]Huntsman Axe no longer breaks with non-hunt units in the back row[/p]
  • [p]Addressed issues that should help prevent “stuck in offline mode” behavior[/p]
  • [p]Old pre-Scrubfowl nerf boards are now flushed from the pool[/p]
  • [p]Card collection progress now shows on diamond framed captains if less than 100% complete[/p]
  • [p]Updated Victory Art and positioning[/p]
[hr][/hr][h2]New Support Button[/h2][p][/p][p]A brand new “Support” button has been added in settings.[/p]
  • [p]This button opens an external web form on our website that can help us support you better.[/p]
[hr][/hr][h2]Leave a Review[/h2][p]Candylar’s launch has been a resounding success for Once Upon a Galaxy. If you haven’t left a review, it would really help us if you went to Steam or your mobile platform and left one.[/p][p]Reviews help us be seen by more players and show them how much our game is loved.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Til next time[/h3][p]Come let us know what you think of the patch changes in the Discord, on Twitter, Bluesky, Reddit and Instagram.[/p]
