Yes dear players, you're making suggestions, we're listening. This time it is all about color of water. Blue one was too dramatic for many players, so we decided to change it. Have a look, do you like it more? [img=http://storage.medungeon.com/pics/WaterGreenWeb.jpg][/img] In other news, sinking problem has also been fixed.

Welcome to the updated Ostrich Island! More beautiful, faster, better. [img=http://storage.medungeon.com/pics/CombinedWeb.jpg][/img] Do you like the update? Let's discuss here!

[img=http://osi.blob.core.windows.net/pics/lobster_long.jpg] Bow to the Lobster Overlord, destroyer of Skeletons! Have you noticed any skeleton on that picture above? Exactly! Because I have click-click woosh-woosh them all! I'm here to stay and don't even think to drop that suspicious palm on me!

A small Ostrich Island update is set live on Steam, here what's new:

• Improved visuals, added more details to the ground and some stuff on horizon.
• Friend's notifications turned off by default.
• No need to click on map anymore to start the game.
• Other tiny improvements.

Massive runaway happened in The City of Lost Chickens. Dozens of chickens were lost due to gates malfunction and sheltered on Island 13, terrorized by crazy lobsters. Save the chickens! Help them, sometimes kicking and screaming, to return home and receive your own chicken companion!
Here is the plan. Find the lost chicken on Island 10, it will help you to find the rest of the flock. Once on new island, look for the golden one. With a little help it will lay an egg you can pick up and get a beautiful little chick companion. Wanna more than one? Feed it with fruits and bugs and eventually it will grow up and also lay an egg! But be gentle, kick it 5 times in a row and it will loose all the loyalty and leave you forever.
[noparse] What's new in this update: * New Island! * Pet Companions! * 5 new achievements! * Our poor bony fiends... they are vulnerable now. A good stick will do the work. * Several minor bugs were caught by little chicks, they are so helpful. [/noparse]
