๐ŸŽฎPlaytest

1 ยท Start

Studio is already open and saved with the latest version. Press Play.

2 ยท Cheats

The FX LAB button is at the bottom left (admin only). It can give coins and rainbow leaves, spawn a golden pile, start an event, bring the merchant, set rebirths, force a hatch, or reset you.

3 ยท Watch your coins

Note the coin count before and after each step. Last test, coins fell from 75K to 35K with no purchase (see bugs).

๐Ÿ›Known bugs (already queued)

Coins dropped 75K โ†’ 35KCHECK FIRST

Seen once in the last test, with no purchase in the log. We couldn't make it happen again. If you see your coins drop, note what you just did.

Merchant name hidden under the roof

The label sits too low, so you can't see it up close.

A bulb covers the "FREE SPIN" title

Only when you look from the spin button.

โ“3 questions for you two

"Secret" rarity: keep it?

It has effects and a banner, but it's not in the drop table yet.

Studs or smooth ground?

Classic Roblox studs (now) or smooth, modern grass.

Bin ring colour

The glowing ring around the bin.

Anything else from the playtest?
