Rank Rewards
Yes indeed! Rank Ups now reward 💎Gems!
⭐ = 💎10
⭐⭐ = 💎20
⭐⭐⭐ = 💎30
⭐⭐⭐⭐ = 💎40
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = 💎50
------------------------+
That's 💎150 to be earned PER minigame!
⚠️ Don't worry if you've already done some Rank Ups, on logging into this update you will receive all the 💎Gems you would've earned retroactively! 🤑✨
Solo Highscores
To inspire solo LVL1s to get gud, we've added an incentive for them in the form of solo highscores! When playing a survival-style minigame solo, the game now keeps track of your highest time survived, and will notify you when you beat it with a chat message:
It will also tell you to last 90 seconds for your very first Rank Up! 🥺💞 (only if you haven't reached ⭐1 yet!)
⚠️ Because of this we have changed the first Rank Up! to require a win, and we've changed solo play to count as a win after 90 seconds lasted.
Gem Rebalancing
Exactly like we've done with 🪙Coins and ⭐XP a few updates ago, minigame wins now reward more 💎Gems in smaller servers. (up to 4x the old amount!)
⚠️ It's still beneficial to play in bigger servers, but you're less penalized for playing in smaller ones.
Monarch Badge
A NEW biggest, bestest badge has been added: The Monarch badge will be unlocked after staying on top of a leaderboard for 3 consecutive days! All Monarchs who have done so in the past have gotten the badge retroactively. 👑
New Hub Signage
We also attached a sign to the Shop because some players were unable to find it! 😅
Disco Disorder Rebalanced
Disco Disorder was too hard for LVL1s and too easy for LVL10+ players, therefore we've slowed the speed at the beginning by 25% and increased the speed at the end by 25%, middle remained the same.
Let's see how this plays! 🫡
Robot Ruckus Improvement
Last but not least, Robot Ruckus updates! We've added visible lasers to your shots and it looks and feels awesome. 🤩

⚠️ One thing to note is that currently when on higher ping servers, it might feel a little worse than last update, because you can now actually tell how long it takes for the bullet to exit your gun. We'll be fixing this in a future update! 🤟
