Director's commentary
Hey everyone, we're back for another round of updates! This time we're addressing a huge point of pain from the community: more Information!
You all wanted to have more clarity on how to evolve Curios, and we're delivering that on our brand new Level Up Screen!
The UI team has been cooking this for a while, but it doesn't stop here! We are preparing some other things for this new screen! You can expect it to give you even more information so you can make better decisions on your run! Can't wait to share more on our next update ;)
Let us know what you think in the comments below!
That’s it for now,
Go have a Picnic!
