𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗 - (New) Game has a chance of starting with 3 tribes instead of 2 - (New) Cast size increased from 16 to 18 to accommodate the 3 tribe format - (New) Payouts have been increased for every placement from 1st to 14th - Earliest possible tribe swaps increased from 13 players remaining to 16 players remaining - Earliest possible merge increased from 12 players remaining to 13 players remaining - Chance of tribe swaps in a game increased from 50% to 80% - (New) Multiple tribe swaps are now possible 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗤𝗨𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘 A couple of months ago we made a change that prevented the same comp from appearing twice in the same game. We like that this prevented the same comp from appearing back to back, but we miss the unpredictability of not knowing which comp could appear. Comps can now appear more than once, but will be on a 2 round cooldown (As in, when a comp appears, it will be locked for the next 2 rounds). 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 Lucky Drop will always have a place on the site, but we want it to be a slightly more enjoyable experience. - Red buckets changed from 50% score reduction to 25% - More pegs on the left and right side to prevent the ball from easily falling into the sides - 6 flippers will now appear that can be controlled by pressing A and D (or tapping the new buttons that appear) 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 Starfall has been de-randomised. It should feel a lot more consistent in terms of how many stars are falling! 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣 𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 The comp rotation strikes again! We'll be saying goodbye to Balloons for now, and a welcome back to Guitar and Words! 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗔 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 (𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 & 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻) The game duration for Standard & Safety Chain Arena is significantly longer than the other game modes. This change should bring them back in line with the other gamemodes. - Voting Phases for Standard & Safety Chain Arena reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute. 𝗗𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗡 - Daily spin now resets at 00:00 KVT instead of 24 hours after your last spin 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗕𝗕𝗘𝗥 - 1 Spin per hour has been increased to 5 spins per hour - You will now receive 1 free spin per day (resets at 00:00 KVT) 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗔 A new weekly fashion game has hit Kovaze! Show off your style. Weekly themes. Submit your look. Vote on others. Win fame, coins, and exclusive prizes. - Until next time, Happy Kovazing!

Fashionista is Kovaze's new weekly fashion game where players strut the runway for the title of Kovaze Fashionista 👠 How it works: ★ Weekly Theme - Each week, a brand new theme will be chosen by our very own @Anna Wintour. ★ Submit Looks - Use the designs in your closet to create a look. You can change it until the timer ends. ★ Public Voting - Members of the public will be shown two anonymous looks and must vote on their favourite. ★ Winners - Prizes will be given to the winners. ALL looks will be on display forever with their scores! Prizes: ★ 1st - 3000 Koinz + Fashionista Flame (4 different flames to collect!) ★ 2nd - 2000 Koinz ★ 3rd - 1000 Koinz FAQ: ☆ Q: Do I have to own a design to use it in my look? ★ A: Yes, the intention behind Fashionista is to give designs, and those who love collecting them, a purpose beyond cosmetics, while also fitting into the overall game loop of the website. Play games, win designs, and then serve up a look on the runway! We also felt like things could get messy with design permissions if any design could be used. Don't worry, we've seen design prices go down, and we're implementing even more features this week to make designs even more accessible! ☆ Q: How many designs do I need to participate? ★ A: 25 ☆ Q: What is panel voting? ★ A: The algorithm will rotate players with a trustworthy voting record into a voting panel. They will make up half of the vote. This is to ensure the results are fair. Panelists will also vote anonymously. The algorithm is also set to monitor panel members who may tank or inflate scores on purpose, to ensure 100% fair gameplay :) Have fun and let me know if you have any questions! https://kovaze.com/fashionista

This month, minor updates will be released sporadically instead of lumped in with the big patch update. This blog will be re-updated with each mid-patch update. v1.6.4 (June 7) - Race now tracks how much each item gave you. Fixed bug where Royale doesn't ping when game starts. Fixed bug where deleted tags will appear in your recent mentions. v1.6.3 (June 6) - Privacy settings and Polls added to groups. Added 4 new race items. v1.6.2 (June 3) - Bookmarks added to blogs. See a blog you want to come back to in the future? Bookmark it! Updated the "All Blogs" page with better search, delete all blogs and view bookmarks button. Bookmark this blog and easily come back to it to see the updates!

The v1.6 release will be split into two parts. Here is what v1.61 brings with it, and a summary of what to expect from v1.62. ENDURANCE ARENA - An exciting new gamemode has hit the arena grounds! Earn points by ranking higher in the rounds - the player with the least points each round will be eliminated (with the exception of the first round which is always a non-elim). HALL OF FAME UPDATE - The "Minigames" tab in the HOF has received a much needed update. You can now select which minigame you want to view the stats for, and also filter by All Time / Monthly. It will now show the top 20 rankers for that minigame instead of the top 5. Activated users can also see their own high score and where they rank on the leaderboard for that comp! BURGERS (New Comp) - A new competition has arrived! Complete as many burgers as you can by selecting the correct ingredients according to the burger shown to you. The order of the ingredients does not matter. Points are awarded based on the number of ingredients in the displayed burger. MAZE (Returning Comp) - A much loved comp has returned! Phone players can now navigate through the maze by swiping across the screen. PC users can also click and drag, and the traditional keyboard controls (Arrows and WASD) will still remain. Please note though there's a current bug that locks you out of keyboard controls if you use your mouse instead. The following will be looked into for the second half of this release: - Balloons Lag - Deal Scoring - Links logging users out - Payout Updates - Slow Royale returning (whilst we look into a bigger rework for it) - And more... Happy Kovazing!
