This update brings about the most powerful and diverse mooj evolution yet: Animal aspects. Once you've evolved your Mooj through the first 3 evolutions and fed them a large amount of food, they will reach their 4th and final evolution. This update also brings with it some minor balance changes and bug fixes.
Added the fourth Mooj Evolution: Animal aspects. This final evolution will grant your mooj powerful abilities, as well as matching animal features. There are 6 total aspects to discover:
Ram: The ram aspect's attacks will knock back enemies based on strength. Is also immune to fall damage. Pig: The pig aspect's powerful sense of smell can sense enemies from farther away, and also allows them to sense and dig up rare truffles. These can be sold for a high price, if your mooj doesn't eat them first. Demon: The demon aspect has increased attack speed based on percentage missing health. This ability is active if the mooj has lost more than a third of its' max hp Unicorn: The unicorn aspect has increased attack speed while it's being petted Spore: The spore aspect attacks slower, but its attacks explode to damage all nearby enemies Cat: The cat aspect pounces into melee range, dealing increased damage
If you want to know how to get a certain evolution here's how it works: Your Moojs' halo determines which of two aspects it can get. Depending on if the Moojs' light or dark stat is greater determines which of the two it gets.
Cube Halo: Dark: Ram Light: Pig
Angelic Halo: Dark: Demon Light: Unicorn
Pyramid Halo: Dark: Spore Light: Cat
Other Changes: Mooj will now reach their first evolution faster You now earn 100 gold for completing the tutorial Increased the base health of red gremlins from 50 -> 80 The pyramid halo is now properly pyramid shaped, instead of wedge shaped Changed the way halos in the second Mooj evolution are chosen. They're now based on the primary stat that has gained the most points since the last evolution. If Intelligence is highest the Mooj gets the 'angelic' halo. Agility gets the cube halo, and Strength gets the pyramid.
Bugfixes: Fixed a bug where throwing a mooj into water would cause them to stay in their thrown state forever and not move until picked up Fixed a bug where newly evolved halos were not scaled properly Fixed a bug where closing the game and reloading would reset garden plant growth progress Fixed a bug where mooj would spawn with the wrong wings in race mode Fixed a bug where saving/loading the game twice with an empty spot in the food shop would cause an apple pie to spawn in the spot
Now that Mooj have some powerful new abilities, it's time to up the ante. The next update should provide some difficult challenges to overcome...
Please report any bugs in the forms / comments, as well as make any suggestions.

Summer Campfire Update
Campfire Update
This update introduces a brand new NPC. Pizarro, the travelling merchant. They have a %25 chance of appearing each day.
If you manage to find Pizarro you can purchase one of 9 new hats from their shop. Each garden has 3 unique hats, meaning you'll have to visit each of the 3 gardens if you want all 9.
This update brings the firefly event to the meadow garden. Every 7th night fireflies swarm the meadow and enemies are nowhere to be found.
Take the night off and roast newly added hotdogs, marshmallows and pop corn.
Other Changes:
You can now give Rosie any of the 3 garden grown vegetables (carrot, garlic, radish) instead of just radishes to complete the first quest. Some dialogue was altered to reflect this
Cooking time for the cooking pot building lowered from 40 seconds to 30
Fixed a graphic issue where many hats were not following the mooj they were on properly
Fixed a bug where options changed in the main menu were not carrying over into the game
Dialogue text scales based on how far away from the camera it is, making its screen size more consistent
Enjoy the update, and post any bugs or feedback in the forms or comments

June Update Released
Hey everyone,
The June update adds a way to create your own custom races from the main menu, some new statues, as well as some small UI updates.
The bars for evolution and hunger are now cleaner looking / higher resolution
Added some athletic statues to the realm of competition
Merged the "New Game" / "Load Game" buttons into one "Play" button
Added free races to the main menu. If you ever wanted to have your own Mooj compete against each other, now you can race up to 64 Mooj in free races. You choose each racer from all gardens from all saveslots. You can even multiple copies of the same mooj racing at the same time.
Pressing the 'Race' button in the main menu brings up the race course select menu. You can also change the maximum allowed racers in the top right Next, you pick your mooj. To add a racer first click on the mooj on the left, then click 'Add'. Alternatively, just rick click on the mooj you want to add. Press 'Start Race' to start, or 'back' to go back.
Fixed a bug where enemies spawned in the spooky race didn't have sound
Fixed a bug where the 3d preview for the cooking pot was spawning a holding indicator
This will most likely mark the end of racing updates for a while, instead we're going back to garden focused updates again.
If you haven't noticed already, Garden of Mooj is on sale until July 9th. Buy it!
Bugs and suggestions always welcome in the forms or comments.

One Year of Early Access
Hey everyone,
It's been one year since Garden Of Mooj was released early access. To celebrate the occasion I'd like to highlight some features added and discuss what's to come. This isn't an update patch, that will be coming later this week.
Since the game was first released many things have been added. On release there was only 1 complete garden, a handful of enemies, and your mooj. Since then the twilight cavern and the lost lagoon have both been added, as well as many enemies, hats, food, buildings, and more.
Over the next 6 months the following features will hopefully be added to the game. None of these are set in stone and are subject to change:
A fourth Mooj evolution, granting powerful combat abilities
More challenging content suited for the highest evolution of mooj
Two more NPCs with quest lines, one for the lagoon and one for the cavern
One more garden, which will unlock when all 3 questlines are completed
One more race
Expanded encyclopedia, with stat information on enemies
At least two more buildings
A rework of the unlock relics so that they show exact stat requirements
And more?
Once these are done there will be a long period of polishing, making sure that the game is perfect. All in all, the game will hopefully be fully released before this time next year. Thank you for being patient so far. Let me know your thoughts on the proposed features and your suggestions.
Best, Kcfos
May Update - Released
Hey everyone
Wow, only 3 days late? The June update might even be on time!
This update adds in Rosie to the meadow garden. They will appear each day (besides the first day after the tutorial) in random locations around the garden.
Rosie has 4 quests, the last of which is a showdown between a new enemy: The dire wolf. These wolves are dangerous enemies, having a lunge attack that stuns mooj, and a bite that can deal over 60 damage.
Rosie holds one of the three keystones needed to unlock the central door. Where are the other 2? What's behind the door? Coming soon.
Added tea seeds, leaves, and the drink. Unlock the seeds by completing the first quest. Enemies now turn towards there targets over time rather than instantly Mooj should no longer be able to become grumpy while they are fainted or sleeping Can now advance through the opening Cutscene and other NPC dialogue by pressing space as well as clicking
Fixed a bug where Mooj could reach negative health values from taking multiple attacks from enemies Fixed a bug where the building menu button text was displaying 2 words at the same time Lowered the range at which mooj will continue eating food after starting to eat Fixed a bug where the two races were sharing the same Race Tiers for each mooj
I hope you are all doing well during these past few months.
Next month will mark the one year anniversary for Garden of Mooj's early access release. While there isn't anything huge ready for next month, there will probably be a roadmap on what is in the works until full release.

April Update - Released
Hey everyone,
After a bit of a delay, the April update is here. The Twilight cavern is getting some stylistic changes, a new enemy, and there's a new race in the realm of competition. Also bug fixes.
As always let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions.
- Kcfos
Remodeled some areas of the cavern garden, added some new ones. The river in the cavern garden now has a current that will pull mooj/items along with it.
There's a new race in the realm of competition: The spooky race.
Three new hats are available as rewards for the race. This brings the total number of hats in the game up to 9
Added a new enemy: Wisper. These spectral creatures will gang up on isolated mooj, but retreat if there's more than one mooj close by. They have a long attack range and can be deadly to lone mooj. They are found in the Twilight caverns at night and in the new spooky race.
The building purchase menu now has unique icons for every building
The mooj in the mooj viewing menu are now staticly lit. This makes them easier to see in dark areas. Water will no longer render as pure white in the lowest quality setting Fixed an issue where mooj were not jumping after attacking an enemy in races Fixed a bug where closing and reloading a game after winning a race wouldn't save the prize Fixed a bug where race music wasn't looping
The realm of competition will now save items that are inside it. Specifically after winning a race and receiving a prize, if you leave the item in the realm or save inside of it your items are now saved. Currently you can only bring items out of the realm, you cannot take them in.
April Update - Coming Soon
The April update will be releasing sometime next week. It will include a spooky new race, a new enemy, as well as some changes to the cavern garden. I hope It will be worth the wait.
