Hey everyone! We’ve got a tiny patch going live today that fixes two bugs recently identified by the community. Fixes: Fixed an issue that was causing loddles to slowly swim back to the Home Cove (and possibly go under the map) when attempting to drop them off at a new biome after fast traveling. Fixed an issue that allowed the storage menu to be openable (and invisible) during the ending sequence. - Loddlenaut Team

Hello everyone! We’ve just pushed a minor patch that fixes a few issues that were identified by the community since we released the Goddles Update. Changes: Added Crystal Crisp and Crispy Cookie to the “Diet” section of relevant evolution cards in the Loddlepedia. Fixes: Fixed an issue that was causing litter that was destroyed due to the game reaching its item limit to not be removed from a biome's pollution tracking system. Fixed an issue that resulted in the Crafting Station menu occasionally displaying the incorrect item when it was opened while using a controller. Fixed an issue that resu

Happy New Year, everyone! We've decided to extend our holiday event to last throughout the rest of this month. This means you'll have a few more weeks to find the hidden gift box and to play around with the item it contains! The gift box and the holiday item will be in the game until February 1st at 10am US Central Time. After that, you won't be able to find the gift box anywhere and the holiday item will no longer be in your inventory (if you collected it). We've read feedback from some of you about the potential downsides of limited-time content like this, so we will be keeping all of your c
