| 0.27 Release - Puppy pack reworked! | 2023-06-08 | - Reworked Puppy Pack, adding a ton of new pets. The original Puppy Pack had a few issues. It was light on player interactions, and mainly consisted of things that got stronger at the end of each turn. Cycling was the only defined archetype and the rest were less thought out. It shared pets with the Turtle pack, which makes it less interesting to buy and makes it harder to make balance changes. The solution here is to make some really drastic changes, both adding new content but also changing the old. The Puppy Pack tried to make food builds stronger by adding more pets of that type. Not only did food teams not need more power, but they also |
| Update 0.26 - New artwork, hard mode and more! | 2023-03-06 | - Added new pet artwork AND a pet artwork customiser. Hold on! Before you tell us to change the artwork back, we have a solution for you. You can go to Customize > Pets and here choose to change all pets back to their classic artwork, or just toggle a few specific pets. Why did we make new artwork? To make Super Auto Pets more unique, consistent and feel like something that was made by us at Team Wood Games instead of being a mash-up of different emoji sets. - Added arena hard difficulty mode. Activate by clicking the grey wrench next to the arena button. This mode is supposed to be absolutely soul-crushingly hard and only recommended for tho |
