LatestgameUpdate 4

The lake is now ENDLESS!

The lake has no bottom anymore — it keeps generating for as long as you keep draining. How deep can you go? Three new biomes — the Forgotten Quarry, the Sunken Harbour, and the Frozen Depths — add new secrets, treasures, and dangers. Opportunity Chains lead through the captain's compass, lighthouse vault, Foreman's key, bunker, and lost expedition. Two new endings let you become the ruler of Atlantis or take your place upon the Frozen Throne.

  • Three new biomes: The Forgotten Quarry, the Sunken Harbour, and the Frozen Depths
  • Opportunity Chains: recover the captain's compass, unlock the lighthouse vault, forge the Foreman's key, breach the bunker, and track the lost expedition through the ice
  • Two new endings: Ruler of Atlantis and Frozen Throne
  • New badges and buckets
  • Bug fixes and improvements
