Someone spent ages gathering everyone on a rooftop just to try breaking the game 😅

That's exactly why I love making a sandbox instead of scripted, even as the dev, I still get surprised by what players come up with!

You're a manipulative seagull flapping between chaos and kindness, stealing snacks, outsmarting humans, and helping animals.

#Devlog: New fluid system

Water, gasoline, paint,... all behave differently:
- Get wet, leave footprints
- Gasoline stains clothes & slows you down
- You can even wash people clean

Bonne fête de la musique ! 🎶

It’s #WorldMusicDay
In Goeland, you can mess with the local band... or jam with them! Music is part of the chaos. Or the harmony. Your choice.
