Game update: 07/08/13

August comes with a holiday. Not to the seaside, but into the sea itself!

Notification for under the sea update

And to complement a range of new under the sea content, there's a new set of goals too.

So to kick off, here's a list of all the new items available:

Tables:
  • Sea Turtle - 4,200 coins
  • Starfish Host Stand - locked by goal
Chairs:
  • Coral Reef Chair - locked by goal
Wall decorations:
  • Clown Fish - 6,500 coins
  • Jellyfish Lamp - 6,000 coins
Floor decorations:
  • Kelp Column - 17,500 coins
  • Mermaid Reef - locked by goal
Wallpapers:
  • Under The Sea - 1,800 coins
Floor tiles:
  • Ocean Floor - 700 coins
Appliances:
  • Sunken Stove - locked by goal
Counters:
  • Sea Anemone - 5,600 coins

A decent amount of items, and all available for a reasonable price. No gems in sight! This is typical of goals as players aren't expected to pay tooth and nail for items which are required for goal completion.

On that note, you don't need to worry about purchases of this content prior to completing the goals. Any items you've bought will count towards the relevant goals.

Back on track, and this update as a whole looks really good. The Sea Turtle Table is a cute addition, even if the Coral Reef Chair (once unlocked) does not really go with it. The Sea Anemone counter is a cool piece, and with the Under The Sea wallpaper as a backdrop will fit in well.

And the ultimate goal prize - the Mermaid Reef - looks like one of those substantial items which could be at the centre of an underwater theme. And as is the pattern with themes starting with a set of goals, expect this 'under the sea' theme to last for a few weeks yet.

The Sunken Stove is unlocked by doing the goals, and contains three new recipes. For more on those, click here.

On the subject of the goals, they are at the focal point of this update.

Introduction to Under the Sea goals

To unlock all of the content listed above as 'locked by goal' you'll need to complete the new goals - for more details on them, dive into a separate post here.

Please note that a back-to-school update was released the following day. For more on it, see here.

  1. When you unlocked that with your gems though, do you just get one more appliance or what happens? I'm at that point..and want more appliances, but that is a lot of gems...

    1. I assume you're referring to the unlocking of another appliance slot for 49 gems. What happens is an extra slot is made available. So if you have 18 appliances at present you'll then be able to place a 19th one. It can be whatever appliance you wish.

      Whether it's worth it for 49 gems is debatable :)
