== Update 6 To Update 10 ==
<tabber>
|-|Update 10 (New egg!)=
==== Additions ====
* Tier 18 egg! Get 6 NEW unique pets, including:
** Aesthetic Cat
** Hydra
** Spike
** Agony
** Chimera
** Magic Fox 
* Coin Collection and Agility were removed and replace with Levels.
After the first 30 minutes of playing, upgrades became useless and differentiating between Coin Collection and Agility was pointless and made some pets just outright worthless. How did I fix this? After this update you will notice:
*All your pets have been converted to a ‘level’. This level indicates how strong your pets are.
*You pet ‘level’ will go up everytime you level up, making your pet stronger.
* Your upgrades are gone. Well, actually, upgrades in general are gone.
* Coin pickup speed and rewards should be the same or better.
* As of now, the ‘2x upgrades’ gamepass is useless. It will be turned into another gamepass next update.
* New pet/hat UI design! Much cleaner and simple, takes up less space!
* You can now convert golden pets to rainbow pets!
* You can now convert ANY pet to golden!
* Hatched pets will now have a random level!
* New pet and hat thumbnails! Not only are they sexy, but compressed and resized to dramatically reduce file size and render times. No more waiting for pet images to download 
* Halloween is gone, and so are Hallow Coins and the Halloween eggs 
* Cheaper moon coin ‘deal’ product! Get a large amount of moon coins for much cheaper.
==== Changes ====
* Made pet/hat images 2x more vibrant
* Added trading ‘processing’ and ‘trade failed’ messages
* Updated premium pets UI
* Made grid for pet inventory much smaller (more pets on the screen at once)
* Trading pet stats no longer includes hat stats (was misleading)
* New level/XP equation, exponentially more optimized
* ‘Converting’ pets will now prioritize the worst pets to combine and will calculate the average new pet’s stats
* Rainbow and golden pets are no longer considered ‘super rare’ in inventory
* Made pet slot rainbow effect more transparent
* Reorganized internal framework stuff
* Changed ‘fix’ scripts to a lower priority to reduce server resource hogging
* Added pcalls to ‘fix’ scripts so they don’t bug out
* Updated pet wing images
==== Fixes ====
* Fixed duping once and for all - I hope 
* Fixed MASSIVE performance bug where pet calculations would be on a per level basis. Could freeze servers for seconds on some pets.
* Fixed bug where very strong pets would freeze client for few seconds when selecting coins
* Fixed pixel outline on pet/hat slots
* Fixed twitter button anchor position
* Fixed golden demon fire particles
* Fixed turtle ‘base’ being misaligned
* Fixed pet and chest raycasts being too small
* Fixed the spooky ‘invisible camera boundary’ in the 2nd zone
