Changelog

New Art

> All sorts of new assets are in the game for your visual pleasure! We are still a long ways from being done though, so placeholder assets are still plentiful. 

Sound Effects

> We added a bunch of new sound effects for your auditory pleasure!

Boss Adjustments

> Every boss, from Mini Minnow to Swordmaster Swordfish, has received tweaks and tuning! Let us know how each one feels to fight!

UI Changes

> UI should look more coherent and consistent throughout the game. Let us know if something sticks out or looks odd!

Tutorial Enhancements

> Onboarding continues to be a main focus, so we’ve cleaned some things up to make the experience smoother!

Known Bugs

>When fishing in the Oil Rig level the game will occasionally crash. If anyone manages to get video of this we will be eternally grateful.

>When fishing up bosses more than once there is a chance that they will become semi-transparent. To avoid this issue wait until the current boss has completely disappeared from the level before fishing again.

>Sometimes the music will loop incorrectly.

>Rarely, clicking on a location on the map will crash the game.

>In the tutorial, opening the map in between defeating Mini Minnow and having The Bird speak to you will cause dialogue to permanently appear on the screen.
