New Captain Skins

Do you want to play a game? Come pull the strings with the new Puppetmaster Geppetto skin now available in the shop!

Geppetto looking like the evil puppet from the Saw movies with red swirls on his cheeks, he pulls strings of marionettes.

Note that this skin will replace the Leonardo Di Skippy skin currently in the shop. We do plan to have Leonardo return at some point but for now if you want him, go to the in-game store before midnight GMT on May 1st!

Card Changes

With this patch, we are implementing a number of card changes that we are quite excited about.

Underdog has a New Ability - "If you have fewer characters than the enemy when I attack, give my slot +2/+2."
Aphrodite's Tear - Now gives +5/+5 (was +3/+3)
Blackbeard's Parrot - Now gives +3/+3 (was +2/+2)
Crow's Nest - Now gives +10/+10 (was +8/+8)
Faerie Godmother - Now Fae Mage (was Fae Hero)
Punching Bag - Now 3/12 Stats (was 3/9)
Medusa - Now 3/3 (was 4/2)
Mysterio - Now has Golden text and no longer transforms himself when recruited to the bank
Mephisto - Now correctly has golden text (he was already working correctly so purely a text update)

Card Text Uniformity Updates

In this patch, we are making an effort to standardize some of the verbiage of our card text. You will see a number of these changes, for example getting rid of references to “level” and replacing them with “rarity”.

This does not change how the cards function.

Steam Client Updates

Alexis and the dev team have been hard at work getting our Steam Client ready. Those in the Steam Beta will notice many feature additions such as resolution selection settings and mousewheel functionality.

For those not in the Steam Beta, you can go add Galaxy to your wishlist so you can download the client the moment it becomes available (which we hope will be soon).

Other Layout Updates

Our engineers have also been working on layout updates for everyone, one of these is probably the most requested feature.

We have added a “More Treasures” button that will allow you to see all the treasures you have collected so far. We want to thank everyone for their feedback and patience on this. It’s something we have wanted to get implemented for awhile and now it is finally here!

It has been a great month for Once Upon a Galaxy and the launch of our bi-monthly newsletter The Galaxy Gazette! If you haven’t had a chance to sign-up, you can do so at galaxy.fun/newsletter

Each issue of the Gazette will have 300 free gems to claim as well as rotating topics such as community challenges, game design insights, tips and strategies and previews of coming card changes, captains and more!

That’s all for now. The Galaxy Pass will rotate from April to May at Midnight GMT on May 1st. All other updates will be live immediately after you update!

Until next time, may your Fae buffs be large, your opponents always attack your Phil and your treasures always be secret rares! Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Bluesky, Reddit and Instagram and join our community Discord.
