**Hello babies, daddies and plastic bags**

##### **The April update has been released!**

The April Update has just been released 🎉 including a new item and a energy rework. Now you can finally end your days with your head comfortably in your favorite plastic bag.

##### Read the full Patch notes here:

- New Item: Plastic Bag - Don’t let babies play with plastic bags!

**Energy Rework:**
_Our goal with this update is to make Energy feel more like a “resource”. Players will want to take advantage of energy giving items like soda, fruit and water to allow for maximum energy usage._

- Energy is now used slower when running & jumping, but also recharges slower

- 10 energy loss for feeding a healthy item and 30 energy loss for feeding an unhealthy item _(the logic here is that it take a lot less energy to feed a baby some fruit, than to feed a baby a handheld vacuum)_

- Health no longer affects energy recharge rate

- 10 energy lost for stealing an item from baby _(they have a stronger grip than you think)_

-  Energy recharge at same rate whether walking/standing (so if not running)

- Players can now walk in sugar rush, to take advantage of the energy regen

- Debuff now lasts 30 seconds (previously 10)

- The player loses 50% of their current energy
