Game update: 08/08/13

Yesterday there was a bonus update in addition to Wednesday's big under the sea update.

Notification for back to school update

There's several new items in a back to school theme, and here's a comprehensive list of all of them:

Tables:
  • Pencil Table - 3 gems
Chairs:
  • Pencil Chair - 7,000 coins
Wall decorations:
  • Back to School Sign - 15 gems
Floor decorations:
  • Crayon Divider - 2 gems
  • Bookworm - 20,000 coins
Wallpapers:
  • Pencil - 1 gem
Counters:
  • Lunch Box Counter - 15,000 coins

This update is of the usual variety for iOS users while Android players need to download a new app.

I quite like this mini update. The Pencil Table and Pencil Chair are cute pieces which go well together. However not many will be keen on paying 3 gems for a table.

The Crayon Divider is an inventive way of forming a divider, and reminds me of the giant equipment in the children's TV show Art Attack here in the UK.

The Back to School Sign is another nice idea, although is a bit small considering the 15 gem price tag. In contrast, the Bookworm is 2x2 in size and very tall. It's for coins and screams of cuteness.

And finally the Lunch Box Counter doesn't remind me of school lunchboxes. To me a school lunchbox is brighly coloured with cartoon characters plastered over it. This one is a shiny silver. Yet I'm not complaining as it is slick and could fit in well if you've got a restaurant designed to be glossy.

In addition to the new content listed above, the School Lunch has been added as a recipe to the Basic Stove.

New recipe on Basic Stove

Further details on it will be posted in a few days, along with more on the recipes which were released via the under the sea goals.

On a related note, the Smoked Salmon Potato (which was added to the Basic Oven a couple of weeks ago) has been relegated to the back end of the recipe list.

Overall, I'm happy with this extra update. My only gripe really is that it wasn't released as a standalone theme with the inclusion of goals and whatnot. There is so much that TeamLava could have came up with,
