Lunar New Year Update



[h2]Welcome to the Year of the Tiger![/h2]

To celebrate Lunar New Year, we've added all 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac as decals for you to use in-game. You'll find them available, along with a bunch of new shapes, ready for you to show your personal style! Select Settings > Color > Decal to get started.

So Synthmas is over, the snow has melted and Santa has left taking "Carol of the Bells" with him - but he may return next Synthmas (you better watch out)! But Lunar New Year is a time for cleaning, so we rearranged the furniture in The Room to make space for the Synth Invaderz cabinet which Santa left behind! To play, go to Settings > Visuals > Home Stage select "The Room" and hit "Load Stage" to go to The Room, teleport over to the cabinet by selecting the circles on the floor!
