Blast: Winter


Winter has come… And has brought along a new edition of the Blast event! Destroy blocks in a grid to fill the gauge. With each successful move, you'll be one step closer to winning incredible rewards!


� How to play

You need to destroy blocks of the same colour with as many blows as you have. You can destroy them by clicking on a group of at least 2 blocks of the same colour. When you destroy blocks, your meter fills up. At the end of the level, you get a chest whose value depends on the number of blocks you destroyed.

Special blocks

Sometimes you will find special blocks on the grid. It could be:

Glass blocks
Destroy adjacent block groups twice to destroy them
Stone blocks
Get them to fall to the bottom of the grid to destroy them.
Rockets

Create them by destroying at least 8 blocks of the same colour at once. Click on them to destroy all the blocks in the same column or in the same line.

Explosion

Use the Explosion to destroy all the blocks in the grid! You get a free explosion once every day, it then costs 30 Passes.

� Chests

Each time you destroy blocks on the grid, points are added to the chest gauge. The more blocks you destroy at once, the more points you get.



When there are no moves left, the grid ends, and at that moment, you will receive:

A chest that will be added to one of your available slots. The rarity of the chest depends on how filled the chest gauge is.

A cup, that will fill your general gauge.


At the beginning, you have one slot available. You need to wait to unlock the other two slots or you can pay if you want to unlock them right away.

⚠ If all the slots are occupied, you cannot play on the grid anymore until you open one of the chests in a slot to free it up.

To open the chest you can:

Wait until the end of the timer

Use boosters, and reduce the timer for some hours

Pay for the Master Key, and reduce the timer to 0 for all the chests in the slots

The chests that are in your slots will automatically be opened at the end of the contest.

Boosters

Use boosters to open your chests faster!

You can get boosters:

By buying them with Passes.

Every day when you log in, with a fidelity bonus if you come 5 days in-a-row.

Jackpot

Fill the 5 levels of your gauge with cups you gain when completing your grids to obtain gifts, fragments for the new divine horse, and the new exclusive companion: Emperor Frosty!

When awake, this companion awards a bonus to your horse:
Trot: +15


� New divine horse

Get fragments from the new divine horse of the new Fire series: Embers in the Tyche's Crown, by completing levels in the Blast event, or by achieving your daily objectives!

Embers is one of the Fire horses. Give your horse some wood to keep his flame burning. Avoid giving water to your horse, otherwise you'll risk putting his flame out.
Once the flame is strong enough, he'll give you:

1 x Philosopher's Stone

More chances to get unicorns


A new rule on the unicorn breeding system has been added to reduce the unicorn foal birth randomness.

Formerly, the chances to breed a unicorn were to 1 in 5 (except for the VIP players who chose the corresponding perks). From now on, if a player doesn't manage to breed a unicorn 5 times in-a-row, the 6th foal will necessarily be a unicorn.

The system is similar for unicorn donkeys and unicorn draught horses whose number of coverings can be increased by Phanes Egg.

Please let us know what you think about the new solution.

Best regards,
The Howrse Team

The Fire horses


Fire horses are special horses. Each represents a different elemental state related to the flames. Give them some wood to increase their flame meter. Win a prize when it's completely filled up.

These horses cannot die, be sold, or appear in rankings. They cannot: - breed
- be customized
- enter the Grand Prix
- be aged manually

They do not count toward the prestige of the equestrian center in which they are boarded.

Once per day they can enter competitions open to all horses, as well as competitions for special horses provided they have enough energy to do so.

Please let us know what you think about this new series.

Best regards,
The Howrse Team

HellOw everyone,



On the mobile version of the game, players now have access to mass actions.

This means they can repair multiple buildings at once or collect all resources from their crops for instance. The only action they cannot perform in mass is the creation of new buildings.

When players go on the mass action page (little wheel on the top right of the screen where you are on your equestrian center page), players:

� Can see all the actions they are able to do on their buildings.
� Can see the number of buildings that will be impacted by mass actions.
� Cannot choose on which buildings the action will be performed.

Players can also now accept or refuse all the boarding extent requests.

Please, test this feature if you are able to do so, and let me know whether you find it useful.

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team

HellOw everyone,
,

Please note the “Rosette per horse” trophy is being removed because it presented some technical challenges (i.e. trophy calculation changes when a horse with a lot of rosettes was sold).

You don't need to worry about losing your progress. To keep track of the efforts made by the most dedicated players:

� The points obtained from previously validated trophy levels will be kept for the general ranking and for the trophy ranking.

� All points gained from the trophy and added to the gift gauge will be kept.

� The total trophy number shown at the top of the trophies page will be adjusted to reflect the removal of the "Rosettes per horse" trophy.

This change will take effect on January 23rd, so you can still make progress before the trophy is permanently removed.


Happy Howrsing!
The Howrse Team

Any info on what the new divine does or if it is part of a new series? I hope it is not part of a new series because I feel like we already haven way too many series going (Precious Metals, Fire, Pets, and seems like Dragons, Fairytales, and Zonkeymily are still going too). I was hoping to collect the fire horses but if a new marine creatures series starts, I might switch to that instead since I love marine animals! But I just cannot afford to keep up with more than a couple series at a time. I totally skipped the pets and Sherlock series divines because it was too expensive to collect those along with the Fairytales, Metals, and Dragons.

Seahorse is not a new series. Seahorse is one of the mythological horses. And this series is an old one.

The Great Challenge and Festivities


The Great Challenge is back, and this time it will be followed by Festivities.

� Part 2: Festivities - Snow Battle

During the festivities, your task is to catch UFOs in three daily sessions, with the number of UFOs based on your horseshoe collection.

HellOw everyone,


To help you run your Equestrian Centers more efficiently on Mobile, they now feature a new function: you can now perform mass actions, greatly simplifying the management of your facilities.

A small icon is now visible at the top of the buildings page (boxes, meadows, greenhouses and workshops). It leads to a page listing the possible actions you can perform on several buildings at the same time, up to a limit of 500 at a time. This may involve repairing several worn-out stalls, or harvesting finished productions, for example. The number of buildings involved can be seen on the page.

Please note that, if you are producing buildings, you will not be able to retrieve them automatically.

The magic works itself: buildings requiring a specific action are automatically selected. No more time wasted manually selecting each box or greenhouse!

Please, test this feature if you are able to do so, and let us know whether you find it useful.

Best Regards,
The Howrse Team

Sparks is a Fire horse.
She'll give you a Hera's Lily.
Her bar requires 100 points, which makes me suspect a 25 days drop rate.

Example

What is a "champion seed" that it says Red Giant will give?

Is this like a Gaia foal but with super high GP or skills? If so, will it be like the pastry divine foals that aren't quite up to par with the top skillers?

It is now a helios ray.
