???? April fool!
Howdy Flippers!
Today, we bring you a little something to make your April Fools' Day more fun!
This is our first official "Mini-Update" - that's our new term to describe some of the smaller content additions to House Flipper 2.

???? Let's take a quick look at the changelog:
New:
• 6 April fools-related items so you can prank someone!
• A new mug with custom picture functionality!
Changes:
• We lost a batch of our sound files, but we MacGyvered smth up overnight, and we're working on a more permanent solution. Be patient. (47 new sounds, but you can actually switch back to the original ones in the main menu! Only available on April 1st)
Fixes:
• Pinnacove suburbs achievement is now correctly recognized.
• Fixed unremovable sills in the recently added house, "The Alligator Bar" in Old Pinnacove. The fix applies only to newly bought houses.
Co-op changes:
• You can now disconnect from a co-op game using the Back button during loading (after confirming in a pop-up). Yes, now this is a feature, not a bug!
• Additional gameplay elements now synchronize properly: wall finish material held in hand, as well as paint roller mode and color.
• Third-person animations have been added for switching the cleaning tools and spray usage.
• Added additional notifications for "Lobby Full" and "Local Connection Not Possible".
• Crossplay status can now be toggled from the client join view.
Co-op fixes:
• Fixed time of day synchronization.
• If the host is in the main menu, clients will also be placed in the main menu upon joining.
• If a player joins while others are still connecting or cleaning windows, they will no longer find them in an awkward position or animation.
• Cleaning the same stain is no longer slower when multiple players clean it together. Teamwork makes the dream work, not the job harder!
❗ Additionally, we saved you from potential malicious features:
• Removed your favourite "before and after" gallery because at least 3 players didn't like it.
• Removed the co-op mode so you can finally enjoy playing alone in peace.
• All your mod.io houses got deleted because we forgot to pay our monthly mod.io premium subscription... what an awesome chance to upload new player creations!
• All textures are now one color (gray) to boost performance.
• Removed paint roller – now you must dip your hands in paint and slap the walls manually.
• Fixed a bug where only cold water was flowing from the taps.
• Removed all houses larger than 25m² or containing more than 20 items or 5 light sources – these could lead to uncontrollable crashes.
• Added an "ive-got-a-crash-on-you" command so you can now controllably crash your game as much as you like! (use at your own risk)
This marks our second step of the Q1 / Q2 2025 House Flipper 2 Roadmap.
What comes next is one of the biggest events of the year for the House Flipper Franchise, so make sure to stay tuned!
Additionally, keep in mind that you still have about 2 weeks to join our most recent Community Contest, which is actually all about some crazy April Fools' ideas!
