We small update with some fixes and an update on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation shipping dates.
Nintendo Switch & PlayStation Shipping Updates
The shipping dates for both platforms slipped a little bit as we had a few bumps in the road going through final platform certification 😅
Switch has been fully certified and has gone to manufacturing and shipping now. We’re hoping for PlayStation to finish certification this week (1 annoying bug has been hard to squash) and it will go straight to manufacturing and shipping.
Update 1.3.2
We skipped 1.3.1 to combined everything into a 1.3.2 update. The update is mainly focused on bug fixes and performance improvements based on completing the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation versions of the game.
Improvements
A lot of performance improvements!
Hidden Power achievement now just requires a total level of 75
Shiny Shaver now just requires 10,000 crystals
Fixes
Fixed Caught Them All not unlocking through item effects
Fixed wild jellies unlocking the Hidden Power achievement
Fixed Jelly getting stuck transforming when trait decreases relic meter
Want to share a Jelly with a friend? We’ve introduced Jelly Codes – a 32 character passcode for trading jellies.
Bring your Jelly to Gabby and she can take your Jelly and give you a code in return. If your friend gave you a code, Gabby can take that code and give you a Jelly in return.
Jelly Names
Many players wanted to give different names to Jellies. We’ve now added a hotkey to rename your Jelly.
Permanent Jellies + Jelly Relics
We had a lot of requests from players who wanted to keep some of their Jellies forever. In this update, we’ve changed how the Jelly Relic system works to allow you to decide which Jellies will turn into relics.
Jellies will no longer automatically turn into relics as you feed them items. Instead, when their relic meter is full, the Jellies will sparkle. Playing your flute 3 times on a sparkling Jelly will turn them into a relic.
Jelly Traits
Now that the relic system has changed, we had to change how the trait system worked. Now when a Jelly trait activates, the relic meter will decrease.
We also had to update several traits to match these changes; so make sure to read your notebook.
Improvements
A lot of performance improvements!

Add rumble feedback on game controller

Patch 1.2.1
Hey there Cutie Club,
We've pushed a small patch that fixes a crash on one of the quest details pages and improves frame rate on older PCs.
As always if you find any issues be sure to let us know! :-)
Update 1.2 is out now!
Hey there Cutie Club,
We have a lot of new features, improvements and fixes in our latest Update 1.2. Take a look…
Jelly Color Breeding & Mixing
We have added in another 32 colours for our Jellies totaling a number of 64 colors!
Jelly colors will now combine if you breed different color jellies. Use Smooch Blooms to make two jellies fall in love and watch the color mixing unfold.
Also, each Jelly now will poop their retrospective colored jelly beans. So if you see some colored beans in the wild you might find a color you haven’t caught yet 👀
Item Delivery Improvements
We have updated the Item Delivery schedule. You now have the whole season to complete all 4 deliveries at your own pace.
Once you complete an item delivery you can collect the reward and the following delivery item list will be available.
If you complete all 4 Item Deliveries for that season, Gabby will reward you with a Unique Item… 👀 Don’t worry if you have completed all 4 shipments for previous seasons before updating. You will be rewarded with the new Unique Items for those season(s) when you continue your save.
Wild Jelly Info
The first trait of a Wild Jelly will always appear when you charm them. It’s also possible to see the other traits and stats of a Jelly before you catch them. But you’ll need a Jelly with a certain trait in your backpack for that… 🙃

Patch 1.1.1
Hey there Cutie Club,
We've pushed a small patch to Steam which fixes a rare bug where the poofening cutscene softlocked the game if a captured Jelly turned to a Relic at a specific time.
As always, if you find any issues or have suggestions/ideas, post in Steam Discussions or our Discord server. More big updates on the way :-)
We have a (little late) holiday gift for everyone today! 🥳 Update 1.1 is out now on Steam & Xbox and includes a lot of new features, improvements and fixes!
Wimba Island Shrines
Shrines weren't challenging and didn't require players to do much besides feed jellies. Each shrine now requires relics of different shapes and colors.
The shapes and colors required change each season. Happy hunting!
Your progress for each shrine is displayed on the right side of your screen. But only for shrines you have found! And don't worry! You won't lose your progress by updating the game or changing seasons.
Competition Improvements
Competitions can now be entered in any season in the morning or afternoon. To enter, go to the competition grounds and use the sign with the trophy icon above it. You can bring a jelly or select one using the new competition popup.
This displays your opponent, how their skills compare to yours, and what prizes you can win. Progress is tracked per jelly, so you'll need to raise one that can go from rookie to grand champion in one go!
Weekly Delivery Improvements
You don't have to speak to Gabby to finish a weekly item delivery. The delivery can be completed by using the farm storage once the delivery deadline has passed.
We also added a notebook tab to help you track your item delivery progress.
Fast Travel
You can fast travel not only to the farm but also to temples that you have discovered. This will reduce backtracking when you just want to get somewhere instead of harvesting items or jellies on the way.
Fast travel by opening the Map tab of the notebook, then using the fast travel hotkey. You can then select which location to fast travel to. Fast travel now passes time based on how far you travel.
Keyboard Improvements
Keyboard hotkeys are now more consistent across every UI. We also made adjustments to the default keyboard control layout based on feedback with a focus on comfort during longer play sessions.
And more!
We've added over 40 fixes and improvements. Thank you for sticking with us and be sure to give us your feedback on our Discord server 🙂
