We've got a quick Friday update with some improvements based on everyone's feedback from the big release this week.
Golden Gears in Explorer Book
We've added a new tab to the Explorer Book to help make it easier to hunt down all those Golden Gears!
New Spaceship Art
Here's a sneak peek at some of the new art we hope to incorporate throughout the game. Let us know what you think in the forums!
100th Medallion Added to the Forest
We've added a new medallion to the Forest as a reward for those of you who collect 100 coins.
Developer Twitch Stream
We'll be streaming later today on our official PolyKid Twitch channel, so feel free to hop on over and ask us your questions. We'd like to stream more often if there's enough interest, so we hope to see you there!
