Original release notes

NEW: SPOOKY FISH PETS
Any fish you land, on any water, has a 1 in 3,500 chance to bring home a Spooky Fish - one of the Boo Bayou fish you've discovered, of the same rarity or below (at Boo Bayou, the very fish you caught). The longer you go without one, the better the odds. One per angler, and it keeps following you long after Halloween.

NEW: LEGENDARY COVES
One cast in 1,000, you'll tumble off the dock into a Legendary Cove - a secret grotto hidden at every one of the 32 waters. Tap FISH when you're ready; you have 10 minutes before the water fills it. Fish blind: hold and slide, and stay still where the line pulls hardest. Every catch is an epic or a legendary at a flat 10X XP, and 1 cove catch in 1,000 is a COD-FATHER.

THE COD-NOSTRA
96 Cod-Fathers - a family of three mob-boss fish at every water. Catch a water's whole family: the first three anglers to do it get a statue in that cove forever, with their name on the plaque. Track every family in the Cod-Nostra book: Settings > Account.

ANIMATIONS
A new box in Settings. The first, the BUFF FISH, turns up at any water (1 in 2,000 catches): hooked fish grow huge muscle arms and pull back. Win and they leap out flexing!

CANDY CORN FROM ALL FISHING (UNTIL NOV 2)
Every catch on every water pays Candy Corn - Megalodons, Alphas and frenzy shadows too. Watch one ad in Boo Bay for 2X Candy Corn for an hour (3X with Triple Rewards). Short on Candy Corn? A sack of 10,000 sits at the top of the Boo Bay shop until Oct 31, and everything in that shop is 20% off.

THE BOO BAY CONGA LINE
Three skeletons conga round the cauldron, winding a new loop every lap. Grab on to join in: wear the next costume in the line and earn as you dance, like the Candy Works with no smoke to chase. Dance long enough and Cap'n Rattlebones' pirate look could be yours, and a rare little friend follows the line too.

HISCORES
- New COMPLETION board, in the Tinkering board's spot: how much of Pixel Reel you've finished, with your breakdown in Settings > Account. Overall XP is now called CAREER
- Halloween Hiscores: the CANDY SHOP board now ranks the Candy Corn you make at the Candy Works and the Conga Line
- Two new badges: STARRY KOI (the Starry of every fish on every water) and GILDED GHOST (the Starry of every Boo Bayou fish)

EVERY WATER PAYS LIKE YOUR FURTHEST
Fish wherever you like: every water pays coins and XP like the furthest water …
