WallaBee 2.1.1

WallaBee 2.1.1

Happy Monday!

Last week, we updated the game to 2.1, which brought an unforeseen slowness to the game. We have a fix for this available now in the App and Play Stores. Other fixed available in this update include:

  • Image flickering issue.
  • Inbox not showing correct message count.
  • Items jumping around in pouch/unable to move items.
  • Places scrolling lock when searching.

We continue to roll out updates to keep the game running smoothly. Should you find any issues with 2.1.1, please email us and let us know.

WallaBee 2.1 Notes

WallaBee 2.1

Hello Y’all!

It’s time for another app update! WallaBee 2.1 is now available in the App and Play Stores. We are very confident in this next version of WallaBee. Although there are still aspects awaiting implementation (ability to open Mystery Boxes, break Christmas Crackers, see forum notifications, etc.), we now have a great platform to begin adding these features back into the game. Speaking of which, update 2.1 brings back a great feature to WallaBee: Push Notifications. Immediately after updating to 2.1, you will receive notifications when other players message you. Sometimes this can be delayed by a minute, so no need to worry if you don’t get a notification the moment someone sends you a message. This is normal. We will also be adding the ‘Boing’ sound, badge count, and other types of notifications very soon, which includes trade requests, comments on item history, new blog posts, and much more.

On a similar note, you will notice that some missing mixes have been added back into the game: Trick/Fortune Card, Third Degree Burn/Fire Chief Yote, Mushroom+Alice, Midnight Kiss, and Levitating Ball.

The Hunt

The Hunt

In February, WallaBee celebrated its 5th birthday. There were events in London and Orlando to celebrate this benchmark, each with their own theme. Those in London were sent on a devious hunt…

This is their story.

WallaBee 2.0.9 Notes

Good Morning!

We hope your Monday (or Tuesday) is going well! Our Monday has just begun and we already have a quick update.

2.0.9 is hitting the market today, which adds a settings toggle for Store Item Animation, along with some backend bug fixes. Please make sure to update your app to this newest version to ensure you’re playing the game in its best version. That’s it. Definitely no Jabberwocky, positively no hidden details, and absolutely no surprises.

In other news, we are making a transition with our email domain from being at @wallab.ee (old website) to @wallabeegame.com. Any and all mail sent to support@wallab.ee will be forwarded to the new domain. My personal email will be in transition as well, but to robbie@munzee.com.

Cheers,

WallaBee 2.0.8 Notes

Greetings WallaBee Players!

Yesterday marked the last day of May, meaning that Version 2 of WallaBee has officially been out for a full month. Including the release of Version 2, there have been eight new pushes to the App Store within the last thirty-one days. On average, this means we’re pushing out updates once every 4 days. We hope that our hard work is showing through each and every update the app receives. We appreciate the positive support the community has shown, regardless of the hangups that we run into. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at our newest update: 2.0.8.

Update 2.0.8 should be available in the App and Play Stores right away, with the majority of updates being bug fixes. Here’s a list of fixes that 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 bring:

  • Context Menu Fix – Items sometimes showed the wrong context menu when changing their state (i.e. Unlocking items didn’t show a context menu every time).
  • Market Set Icons Fix – Older items in the market showed the wrong set icon.
  • Activity Bug Fix – When players completed a set, it would remove all recent activity from view on their profile.
  • Repopulating Store When App Goes Background To Foreground – Stores only gather information when the app is open, so sending WallaBee to the background would cause the app to display missing items in the store when reopened. This has now been fixed.
  • Update Store Timer Logic – When we implemented the above fix in 2.0.7, the timer bars had a bad logic which caused them to appear empty until the next item came into the store. This has been reworked to give a better visual experience.
  • Trade Image Fix – Receiving a Trade Request notification would show empty space where the items should have displayed. This has been fixed.
  • Can’t Send Requests To Inactive Users – Previously, players were able to send trades/friend requests to inactive players. We have now updated inactive player accounts to not display a context menu. This should also help players quickly determine whether a player is inactive or not.
  • Location Accuracy Adjustments – We have received numerous reports of places showing incorrectly in the list view. This is due to the inconsistency between your position when information is fetched from the server and what your phone displays. We have taken steps to reduce this inaccuracy across the board, as well as update the entire places database to ensure their lat/lng positions are being displayed correctly.

In other news, we are aware that some of our players are experiencing health issues with the popping animation items have in the store. We apologize for the unforeseen issues that this animation has caused and are working on implementing a setting which will allow players to choose whether or not store item animation is on or off. Additionally, we feel confident that the app is in a stable enough position to begin reintroducing items on a consistent basis. We are almost to a pivotal moment in Another Night In The Forest… we hope you’re ready for it.

  • Fixed the bug causing no Store data and the Top 100 issue.

Unique Gifting Portal

Unique Gifting Portal

Good Morning, y’all!

One awesome thing about our game is our community… Okay, let’s be honest, it really is the best thing about it. Shh… One of the ways our community is awesome is in their support of the game through putting a bit of themselves into WallaBee through Player Uniques. After switching over from Version 1 to Version 2, the gifting portal (along with various other components) were temporarily turned off.

I think you understand where we’re going with this one… so I’ll just cut to the chase. The Unique Gifting portal is now online and operational (thanks, Mizak)! You can find the gifting portal through your login on WallaBeeGame.com. The best thing? You can gift easily from mobile with a friendly responsive design! Here’s a quick image of the desktop view. Pay no attention to the amount of honeycombs in my account…

Desktop-Unique-Gifting-Portal

Desktop View

Unlike the previous Unique Gifting portal, this one does not currently allow for MIXINGPOOL and RECYCLE commands. In the meantime, if you would like to recycle the items around the world, you will have to gift to yourself and then recycle them like normal. If you would like an item added to the Mixerpool, please gift them to yourself and send an email to support. We will add it to the pool for you.

We hope you enjoy the new feature we continue to add to the website. This Unique Gifting Portal should make things feel a bit more like home.

We are pleased to announce that WallaBee is officially on Android: FREE! You can now download the addictive geolocation-based collecting game from the Google Play Store and play alongside users from all over the world.

Version 2.0.4 Update

Trading and Bug Fixes

Hello Everyone!

Version 2.0.4 is now live in the App Store. This update fixes multiple bugs, including the recent trading crash which caused our players to have issues initiating trades with other users. In order to fix this trading issue, we decided it would be easier, and within everyone’s best interest, to give the trading interface a overdue pick-me-up.

After downloading 2.0.4, you will have access to this new trading mechanic. Everything works the same, whether you choose your item or another player’s item first. Here’s a quick preview about how the new interface looks.

          

Initiate the trade like normal from your item or a friend’s

          

Select the second item in the trade. Your item is always on the left and your friend’s is on the right.

           

Select whether you would like to include Honeycombs with your item or request them from your friend. You cannot send and receive honeycombs within the same transaction.

The red ‘Request Honeycombs’ button signifies that this is not an option.

          

To remove Honeycombs from the trade, or change who is giving the HC, simply change the amount to 0. You can now send your trade!

In addition to these changes, you will find that there are new pins on the map view, as well as correct trading invalidations when a trade you’ve proposed is voided by your friend dropping, locking, saving, or otherwise changing the state of the item. No more new trade bugs! If you do have an older trade that’s stuck, unable to cancel, please email support and we will fix it quickly.

We appreciate your patience and support as we work toward making WallaBee 2.0 the best version possible.
