Before we get started on today's patch notes, Super Animal World's celebrated researchers have asked us to pass along a message of caution. Storm clouds have been brewing above the island, strange chanting has been heard coming from a cave in the northeast, and most regrettably, a researcher has dropped his lunch into the S.A.W. Nano-climate machines. We're not quite sure what will happen, but it's likely to be stormy for the next 36 hours.
To help you weather the storm, we’re handing out limited-edition banan umbrellas until April 5th at 11:59pm PDT (8am GMT on April 6th). The giant banan melee from 2019 will also be dropping during the same window, so make sure you play to collect both.

Dive into v0.93.1
Glide further with your umbrella or put it away to fall faster:
- If you're feeling brave, you can now put away your umbrella and watch your Super Animal plummet faster towards the ground. Use the same hotkey (default is E) to switch between umbrella and freefall.
- Freefalling allows for a faster descent, but be careful of smacking the ground! You won't take damage, but it'll cause your Super Animal to be briefly stunned.
- Your regular umbrella can now glide further, to allow for further flying away from the Giant Eagle, and more exploring of the far corners of the island.
- Three new milestones/cosmetics have been added related to freefalling.
- Bots will partake in the free falling fun as well!
Thanks to all your feedback, we've made a bunch of improvements to Giant Emus:
- Giant Emus can now eat coconuts to heal (in addition to still being able to heal with campfires).
- The Giant Emu's health is now displayed in a bar on its saddle.
- Armor now partially protects against pecks. Each peck will remove one tick of armor, but the Super Animal will still receive 15 damage through the armor. Peck damage without armor is unchanged at 45.
- Movement now has minor acceleration/deceleration.
- Giant Emu displays healing effects now when at campfires (in addition to the rider).
- Audible range increased by about 10%.
- Short delay added on shooting when dismounting a Giant Emu.
- Rapidly mounting/dismounting an Emu will result in a temporary block on mounting.
Gun balancing:
- Poison Dart Gun now applies 5 ticks rather than 4 (but same total damage). Also it is able to poison Giant Emus now.
- Epic M16 removed from the Mole Crate, since it is a world spawn. Legendary M16's chance was increased slightly to compensate for this change.
- Slightly increased Legendary Sniper's chance in the mole crate.
- Movement speed with Hunting Rifle increased slightly.
- Increased recoil reset speed of Sniper when not moving.
More updates:
- New milestone "Dancing in the Rain"
- To celebrate the start of Spring, we've added 5 flower hair pins into the drop pool.
- Adjusted camera zoom during parachute so that it accelerates as you get closer to ground.
- Fix for Giant Emu reins sometimes being incorrectly colored.
- Fix for a revived player entering a Giant Emu and being glitched.
- Fixed laggy players being able to peck despite dismounting a Giant Emu.
- Fix for Giant Emus being heard in the game lobby.
- Improved issue of Giant Emus being able to be pushed into tight corners.
- Fixed (for real this time) players sometimes not appearing to roll.
- Reload is canceled when entering a Hamster Ball or mounting a Giant Emu.
- Founders name color is a bit brighter to help it pop off the Welcome Center ground more.
- Removed a few explosive barrels that were breakable through walls.
- Translation fixes.
The strange weather patterns look like they'll be strongest for the next 36 hours and will drop in frequency after that.
