IT’S TIME TO FISH!
After tons of time and work, Fishing is finally here!
Fish With Your Friends
Fishing is a fun and relaxing Plaza activity that you can play with other players. Catch fish together and show off what you caught with your friends.
Catch Over 100 Different Fish and Weird Items
The aquatic ecosystem of the Plaza has been greatly expanded, and with over 100 different species of fish and a bunch of exclusive fishing items to be found, there’s sure to be some hidden treasure waiting just for you.
Use Various Bait
Different types of fish are attracted to different types of bait. We’ve added tons of variations of bait to help your fishing needs at the Gone Fishin’ Bait Shop, right near the rollercoaster dock and the fishing docks behind the games building.
Adopt Sea Friends
Sometimes you’ll catch a Sea Dollar. They’re the currency of the sea. Once you have enough sea dollars, you can adopt aquatic friends such as dolphins, whales, and sea TUrtles.
Build Aquariums
After you’ve got a fish, you can place the fish in aquariums in your Condo. Just drag the fish into the aquarium and it’ll be happy to call it home.
Become a Dolphin
That’s right, become a dolphin. Fishing comes with several milestones and one of the coolest milestone is actually being able to become a dolphin.
New Inventory
Search
No more spending countless hours searching your inventory for that one soda can, the new inventory features a convenient search bar so you can get back to customizing that sick condo.
Easy Filters
Just looking for all your couches? There’s now a button for that too. With the easy filters, all of your couches, chairs, and other item categories can be filtered in just a few clicks.
Improved Tooltips
Tooltips now tell you more useful information, such as the store the item can be found in and in which Tower Unite update the item was added.
Sorting
You can also now sort items by their name, price, and version added.
Color
The new inventory is also colorable, so you can customize what color you want your inventory to be. Obtain that perfect nostalgic blue or the cute hot pink look.
Lock
A new lock feature was added which lets you lock the inventory in place. This keeps the inventory from automatically closing after you release the Q key.
New Store UI
New Logos and Themes (and some sounds)
The store UI has been completely redone with unique theming and logos, adding charm and character to each store.
Landing Page
The store UI now also splits the items sold into categories. Looking for just bait? Click that bait button. Looking for lures? Well, you get the idea.
Sorting
You can now sort items in the store by their name, price, and the version of the game they were added.
Shared Jackpot
Wheel of Money was updated to now have a shared jackpot across all machines. This change makes it so no machine has a unique jackpot, keeping things a bit more civil amongst players. Also, we’ve increased the chance of winning the jackpot by just a tiny little hair.
