Feedback Fixes Update
Thanks for the feedback! This update includes a couple of fixes based on recent player reports: - Skin unlock condition popups now remain visible even after the condition has been completed, so players can still check what they achieved to unlock each skin. - Fixed an issue where fish caught in one map could still be sold from another map through the showcase, which allowed money to be transferred between maps. Please let us know if you run into any other issues. Thank you for playing Chill & Reel!Read full article on Community Announcements (Maru Game Studio)Community & EventsOfficial
