Apanana News & Patch Notes

New:

Constellation Attunements: Unlocking every skill in a constellation already revealed the completed constellation and awarded its achievement, but fully maxing every skill did not feel like an equally meaningful goal. Maxing an entire constellation now unlocks a unique Constellation Attunement. This gives players a stronger reason to continue investing beyond the first skill level, while making upgrade paths and Stardust choices more meaningful along the way. Spoiler: One of the Attunements might let you use whichever skin you want without having to worry about its bonus.

Updated:

Fishing: - The Bait Timer Reduction on Click (or whatever) stat has been removed entirely, as it was too narrow and did not create an interesting bonus. - Fishing skill, skin, and familiar effects have been reworked.

Worm Whisperer now increases Fishing EXP gained from catches.
Fishing Familiars now provide a reduction to the bait timer.
Skin effects now modify duplicate-fish banana rewards.

Critical Clicks: - Critical clicks now count as two clicks toward statistics and cumulative click achievements.

Fixed:

Adventures: - Familiarity gain and trinket drop chance were being calculated using incorrect values and have now been corrected. This basically means higher trinket drop rates and more Familiarity gained from adventures. - Mystic Dice trinket values now display and apply correctly.

New:

Updated:

Worm Whisperer now increases Fishing EXP gained from catches.
Fishing Familiars now provide a reduction to the bait timer.
Skin effects now modify duplicate-fish banana rewards.

Critical Clicks: - Critical clicks now count as two clicks toward statistics and cumulative click achievements.

Fixed:

Fishing: - Fishing Lv. 100 UI has been improved and now properly displays as max level. - Reaching Fishing Lv. 100 now unlocks Fishing Mastery. - Fishing Mastery increases rare fish chances and bait gained from the bait timer. Familiars: - Familiars carrying Monkey’s Helpers bananas should now be much easier to click. - Familiars with helper bananas now move to the front instead of getting hidden behind other familiars. Beetle minigame: - Upgrade buttons now visually match the upgrade they offer. - Upgrade buttons now show how many times you already have that upgrade.

Fixes: - Fixed the Max Familiar and All Familiar achievements. They should now unlock at the correct time. - Adventure Time and Adventure Cost familiars now correctly display their bonuses as negative percentages. - Fixed fishing struggle clicks triggering on mouse release instead of the initial click. Note: This may take a little time to get used to, since the timing now responds immediately when you click. - The North Epic skin now reduces adventure cost instead of bananas per stamina. This was changed because another skin already reduces bananas per stamina. Minigame adjustments: - Beetle minigame should now be less punishing when pushing beyond Gold. - Caterpillar minigame now starts at a slightly higher speed. - Dragonfly minigame enemies no longer spawn as close to the water, and the dragonfly takes longer to become heavy. - Grasshopper minigame high obstacles are now slightly higher, since early double obstacles could be a bit too difficult. Balance: - Banana and EXP progression was moving a little too quickly. - Pity bananas from adventures now only give bananas, instead of also granting EXP from those bananas. - Banana rewards from duplicate fish and familiars have been lowered slightly.

Apanana 1.1 is here, and this is the biggest update to the game so far.

New Diagonal Directions

After completing Level 25 in both adjacent normal directions, you can now unlock new diagonal directions.

These new directions continue the adventure path after North, East, South and West. Each one has its own theme, visuals, trinkets, skin and minigame.

There are four new minigames to discover:

· Jumping Jitters

· Dragonfly Drift

· Termite Trouble

· Rhino Rumble

These new minigames work like the others: getting better medals cuts down adventure time, and scoring beyond Gold can cut even more.

Fishing

Fishing has been added to Apanana!

You can now catch fish between adventures, as long as you have bait. Bait is gained over time through a bait timer, but there are several ways to speed that timer up. Trinkets, skills and even clicking the monkey can help reduce the time until your next bait.

Fishing is meant to be a cozy collection system, but it also connects to progression. There are fish to collect, fishing levels to gain, and a collection book to fill out.

Familiars

Familiars are new little companions that can join you during the game.

They are unlocked in different ways, and once they join you, they give helpful buffs. Some are tied to adventure progress, some to fishing, and some may appear after your minigame efforts.

Familiars also have their own progress, and their buffs can grow stronger as you spend more time with them.

New & Updated Constellations

The constellation sky has been updated and made more beautiful.

There are also two new constellations, with new skills connected to the new systems in this update. I will not spoil too much here, because figuring out the constellations is part of the fun.

Some older skills have also been adjusted to better fit the new update.

Minigame Special Chance

A new stat has been added: Minigame Special Chance.

Some players felt that certain minigames could be a little slow. This new stat increases the chance for special 3-point objects to appear in minigames.

Since minigame difficulty and rewards scale with points, gaining Minigame Special Chance from skills and trinkets can make minigames speed up faster and feel more rewarding.

New Trinkets and Skins

There are 80 new trinkets in total.

Each new diagonal direction has 16 new trinkets, and each normal direction has 4 new trinkets added as well.

There are also new skins connected to the new diagonal directions.

New Achievements

New achievements have been added for several of the new systems in this update.

Some are tied to adventure progress, some to fishing, some to familiars, and some to other parts of the game. So whether you are starting fresh or continuing an old save, there should be new things to chase.

A small note about Steam achievements: because Steam currently has a limit on how many achievements can be added, some older Steam achievements have been removed from the Steam version of the achievement list to make room for the new ones.

These achievements are still part of the in-game achievement system, but not all of them can exist as Steam achievements right now.

Save Slots

Apanana now has 3 save slots.

Your old save should appear in Save Slot 1, and you can use the other slots to start fresh without deleting your original progress.

Existing saves should still work, but I do recommend starting fresh if you want the full experience. A lot has been added to the progression, and some of the new systems are best experienced from the beginning.

Smaller Changes

This update also includes smaller changes to older skills, trinkets, skins, butterflies, fireflies and minigames. Most of these changes were made to better support the new systems and make the game feel smoother as a whole.

Thank You

This update took a long time, and it grew much bigger than I first expected.

Thank you to everyone who has played, left feedback, reported bugs, suggested ideas, or just clicked the monkey for an unreasonable amount of time.

I hope you enjoy Apanana 1.1.

Tutorial

Who knew the tutorial could end up feeling like the final boss. That is how the last month has been for me. But now we have it, a tutorial for new players to feel welcome and introduced to the game! It’s short, but gives new players a clearer introduction to the core game loop, which was something a lot of feedback pointed out.

UI Update

Existing players probably won’t see the tutorial unless they reset their save, but they will notice a cleaner UI update. You can enjoy a new, clearer, way of eating bananas with a yellow button that feels amazing to press! As well as the tabs on the menu and adventure timer being clearer.

Not the biggest update, but definitely one the game needed.

What's next?

If this update goes well, I'll keep working on a major content update. I don't want to spoil anything, but I have a lot planned.
