Patch 10.37: Camera UI Toggle Options + Holiday Update!
Hello Universe Architects,
The simulation has been updated! This small and exciting update contains a couple visual improvements, a new camera customization option, and some limited-time festivities!
Photography Pro
Orbits or no orbits? Toggle between different UI options when snapping a photo of your galactic masterpiece in camera mode!
Read It And Weep
While this may be a small change, we altered the hierarchy of the planet UI and typography. Now it should be easier to read and identify objects in the Beyond Garden!
A Holiday Cell-ebration!
We've decked the simulation with loads of holiday cheer! Warm yourself by a festive fireplace or spot a new icy friend in outer space.
Additional Features:
+ Improved Beyond Garden visuals! Background stars now have more realistic sizes and colors. + Improved Astronomy Mission balancing! Early levels should be easier now (specifically Ranks 3-6). + The Kuiper and Asteroid Belt brightness has been reduced so that they no longer clutter the screen.
As we head towards the end of the year, the Cells team will be going on winter break from December 23rd - January 3rd.
We hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday, and we can't wait to come back in January with cellular plans for 2022.
Happy Holidays, and stay cellular! ~Lunch
Beta 10.37 : Help us test the new photo mode toggle hide UI and Orbit lines
Hello, Cells Beta Testers!
A small Beyond patch is in the works, and we need your help with testing it before it goes public.
Here is what you can find in the upcoming update...
Features:
+ Improved Beyond Garden visuals! Background stars now have more realistic sizes and colors. + Improved Astronomy Mission balancing! Early levels should be easier now (specifically Ranks 3-6). + The Kuiper and Asteroid Belt brightness has been reduced so that they no longer clutter the screen. + Photo mode has toggles to hide orbits and UI elements! We're really excited about this feature because you will be able to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the solar system in your preferred view. + Seasons Greetings! Enjoy limited time holiday decorations starting on December 16th (be sure to change your device date to December 16th if you want to see them early).
Let us know what you think of these updated features!

Patch 10.23: Planet Speed Slider Replacement + QoL Improvements!
Hello Universe Architects,
Your universe simulation has been updated! We've removed the speed slider in the side menu, and we implemented an alternate speed feature to better showcase the complexity of orbital motion in our solar system.
Here's how it works:
Button Up!
Fiddle with different buttons that will play, pause, rewind, and fast forward your planets! Watch Deimos slowly circle around Mars at +3 hr/sec, or see Sedna's 10,000 year orbit take no time at all!
Additional Features:
- The moon is now tidally locked to Earth! - Hale-Bopp and Halley's Comet tails' stick around while the simulation is moving fast! - The icon for the Heliosphere has been updated! - Camera stability while viewing planets in the garden has been improved. Enjoy further developed camera locking and non-existent camera shaking!
Minor Features and Fixes:
- FIX: You can now zoom in on Vesta in the garden. - FIX: We found the "-" symbol that was missing on some English enhancement cards. - The cube payout amount in Mutagen bundles has been adjusted. - Starting the Super Charge boost will no longer center you on that object. - Exiting Photo Mode will no longer change the screen angle. - Performance improvements for the garden's orbit lines have been implemented. - For new Universe Architects: The Black Hole event has now been changed to a local portal that requires 200 individual clicks in order to enter the Beyond (online or off)!
We hope you enjoy these improvements as we continue polishing the Beyond expansion!
As our team looks ahead at what's to come for Cell To Singularity, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback!
Stay cellular, Universe Architects! ~Lunch
