Cafe World has added some improvements to the Gifts Box, but the new system does have its detractors… Here are the Possible Issues of Suckage: – Right now, what’s really needed is Inventory Consolidation, not Gifts Consolidation. The Inventory is a much busier place than the Gift Box and when you’re buying up to 100 tiles to lay your floors, and dozens more to line your walls, you don’t want to have to click and drag every single tile/wallpaper to the Cash Register so you can sell them off.

In just two days, Happy Aquarium has replaced their St. Patrick’s Day demo tank with the one you see above, which I’ve gotta say, is indisputably more awesome than the first one. We should’ve known something was up since that one was missing a “7-Day Hibernator”.

While it costs 150,000 Coins, it actually brings a ‘restaurant effect’ of +1 second to your customers’ patience
