Hatch 1.1 Update Brings Wallpapers, New Shop Items & More

By

Hatch

Hatch, the cute virtual pet for iPhone from the makers of Clear, has received its first update just one week after making its App Store debut. The release adds some beautiful wallpapers for your iPhone, introduces some new shop items, and makes a long list of fixes, tweaks, and improvements.

Max has now learned to paint, and he’s put together four high-resolution wallpapers that will look great on your iPhone’s home screen. Each one features your very own pet fugu, and you’ll find them in the shop.

If you’ve built up a 100 percent trusting relationship with your fugu, you’ll also find ground and tree decor items in the shop that will visually transform its home. This update also brings the following fixes and improvements:

– Your pet fugu will now learn to cry less as it grows up during its first week
– It also poops a little bit less, just a bit less.
– Confetti and balloons and proper decorations for your fugu birthdays!
– The GameCenter fugu gifting network was confusing some people so we’ve shut it down until we can figure it out!
– Grapes won’t take quite as long to grow now, normally or during Happy Dances
– The hole in Max’s pocket grew bigger, and so did your fugu’s generosity! Look for piles of 3 star coins in gifts and hidden spots every once in a while!
– More types of markings possible on freshly hatched Fugu
– New blankets in Max’s shop (Raindrop Rug, Flannel Blanket, Silken Scarf, Crashed UFO, Donut Blanket, Peppermint Swirl Mat, Chocolate Chip Blanket, Gumdrop Rug, Peony Flower Blanket, Sakura Flower Blanket)
– If your pet ran away and your new egg wouldn’t hatch, this should fix it!
– If you early adopted and Max never gave you your notebook or opened shop, this should get you past it!
– Instagram sharing from the Hatch camera should now work!
– Remove currently installed blankets or decor items by tapping on them in the shop
– Max will no longer talk about a nonexistent club
– Fix for creatures with hidden legs in photos
