May 29 - Wheel, Item Market & Game Confirmations

Improvements & QoL's

Three updates rolled out.

Lucky Wheel — rewards reworked

The Wheel was overdue a glow-up. We've stripped out the consolation cash and replaced it with rewards actually worth winning.

What's new:

  • Purple Crate added as a Rare segment
  • Gold Crate added as a Legendary jackpot (matches 60 Platinum odds)
  • $5k and $15k cash wedges are gone
  • $50k boosted to $125k
  • $250k boosted to $600k

We've also dropped the cost of extra spins from 100 Platinum to 60 Platinum. Spin more, win bigger.

Goodbye browser prompts, hello game UI

Every "Are you sure?" dialog across the game has been replaced with our own styled confirmation modal. No more ugly browser pop-ups breaking the immersion.

Item Market — Buy Orders

Tired of waiting for someone to list a Nerve Tonic at a fair price? Set the price yourself.

How it works:

  1. Pick any consumable, set how many you want and your price-per-unit
  2. Your cash is escrowed up front
  3. Any seller can fill your order — fully or partially
  4. Cash transfers instantly, item lands in your inventory - buyer & seller receives alert.

The fine print:

  • 3 active buy orders per player
  • Orders expire after 7 days (escrow auto-refunded if no one fills)
  • Consumables only for now
  • Partial fills allowed — small sellers can chip in
  • Cards show Avg 7d price so sellers know if an order's worth filling

Find it under the new Buy Orders tab on the Item Market panel, or tap Place a Buy Order alongside the sell form.

That's the lot. Spin the wheel, place some orders, and let us know what you think.
