• Forest coin economy tuning! Lots of balance adjustments throughout the experience, with a focus on creating a smoother and more meaningful onboarding experience.

• Animal card economy tuning! Adjusted the mix of available animal cards and tuned the number of animal cards needed to level-up so the animal card level-up experience is more impactful.
