Hey!

As you might have heard, we’re relaunching! Big exciting changes are coming to the world of Potion Punch 2.

From new ways to play, to perked-up Patrons, everything is brand-spanking-new in our latest update. Even our beloved Peakwood Potions will feel fresh to veteran shopkeepers.

⚠️ Because of this, everyone will be starting again from the beginning and level progress will be RESET. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to keep most of your hard-earned unlocks from before this update. Otherwise, the ones that will not be compatible with the game anymore will be converted into Gems of equivalent value. In other words…

🫳 What You’re Keeping

• Limited-Time Event Items
• Compatible Item Purchases

💎 What’s Converting

• Non-gem Currencies
• Things that won't have a 1:1 equivalent in the relaunch

🧹What Will Be Reset

• Level Progress
• Gameplay Progress
• Old Incompatible Gameplay Systems

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, but we promise it’ll be worth it!

The road to relaunch begins in April! Check out what you can expect as we gear up to relaunch Potion Punch 2.

• Reworked Progression
  • Reworked Popularity Points into Rank, which grants rewards as you accumulate Fame, which is gained as you continue to run your shop, progress through the game, and complete various quests.
  • Replaced the old Achievement system with Epics.
    • Epics grant rewards like exclusive badges, titles, and avatars based on objectives you accomplish over your entire shopkeeping career.

• New Control Schemes
  • Added support for both the new Tap and classic Drag control schemes.

• Economy Changes
  • Rebalanced coin and gem economy.
  • Mana and Appetizers will no longer regenerate over time, but can be obtained as rewards from levels, quests, or even Patrons!

We hope that these changes will feel like a whole new experience while still being the game you know and love. We’re working very hard on this and are all very excited to bring you this update!

Can’t wait to see you soon, Keeper!

The Monstronauts Team

Why are you relaunching the game?

• We’re modernizing Potion Punch 2 to make it feel more fun to play, and for potential ports to PC and Consoles so we can share more of the magic to more players!

Am I losing all my progress?

• Technically, yes. Since we’ve changed a lot of the mechanics, the shop layout, and introduced a lot of new features, everyone’s progress will reset back to the beginning. However, based on how far you’ve gone in Potion Punch 2, you will be awarded a corresponding amount of gems to help you get started.
• Additionally, you will get to keep some parts of your previous account’s progress – like the skins you’ve purchased, patrons you’ve unlocked (though they will be set to Level 1), and other cosmetics.
• We’re also going to give commemorative rewards to old players for being a wonderful fan even before the relaunch!

Why did you change some Worker and Patron abilities?

• To accommodate the major changes in the mechanics, we’ve streamlined the character abilities to have better synergy with the new game’s player experience. For example, refilling is now defunct, making Muradin’s old abilities useless.

Are you still working on Potion Punch Rivals?

• Yes, we are! We’re hoping to release a new beta version this year based on the feedback from the Alpha tests last year that you all contributed to. More updates soon!

I have more questions! How do I reach you?

• We’re having a Developer Live Q&A session on our Discord server on Jan 31, 9 AM EST. Join us to share your thoughts about the changes! Otherwise, feel free to drop your thoughts in the server and we’ll try our best to answer you.
