Let's go!=======================🛠 PATCH NOTES / CHANGELOGNew to "Frog Up!" v0.9_gamma_3:MechanicsCertain items, such as the "Trellis Fence" & "Picket Fence", can block frogs from hopping 'through' them, effectively controlling their possible path.Specifically, the frogs attempt to find a path that will not take them into a bounding box that's roughly equivalent to the bottom half of the item's individual render.Frogs will be unable to move if completely fenced in, fair warning! x]Design & PolishThe design for the "Lily Pond" home habitat has been given a major facelift!Trees now line the edges of your home habitat, and item positions may have been shifted for already placed items. Sorry, but you'll have to pick them back up and replace them in that case!
