Hi Builders! ๐Ÿ‘ท๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ



To mark the start of the sale, weโ€™ve got a big update for you โ€“ weโ€™ve introduced a new level! ๐Ÿ†• Check the trailer ๐ŸŽฌ๐ŸŽฅ



It this level you have to renovate a neglected house. Clean the facade and roof with a pressure washer, mow the lawn, replace the windows, and pick up the trash! There are plenty of tasks, but the end result is impressive!

Weโ€™ve also fixed the issue with pop-ups that youโ€™d reported โ€“ from now on, you can switch them off completely ๐Ÿ’กโŒ. Just go to options (but be sure you are in options in main menu in game, you can't change it when you're on level and you click ESC) and disable it.



๐Ÿ‘‰ This update is all the more important as weโ€™ve fixed around 100 bugs that had been occurring up to now. Hereโ€™s the list:
