Movetio is a free, text-based mafia game that runs in your browser. Update #005 went live today. It's less about one big feature and more about trust: when the game tells you something, it should be right, and when you do something, you should see what you got.
Notifications you can rely on
Notifications were the thing that annoyed players most. They vanished when you closed the panel, flickered, or opened the wrong page. In #005 they stay put, no longer flicker and take you to the right place. The bell and the counter are right straight away, also for family invites and attacks, and Clear all only keeps open requests (and tells you so).
Loot you can see
After a successful crime you now see which item you got. And before you start, the job card shows which item a job can drop and the chance. Small change, but it makes choosing a job a real decision instead of a guess.
Organised Crime with friends
Organised Crime got two quality-of-life upgrades:
- Invite friends straight from your friends list. You set that player's percentage when you invite them, it's then fixed, and your own share follows automatically.
- OC notifications: invites, cancellations and results reach your notifications, and you see when someone accepts or declines.
Crew moves to Businesses
Your crew now sits under Businesses and no longer earns an hourly wage. Instead they help you on the street: better odds on jobs and less heat. We also stopped attacks on players who are travelling.
Smaller things
- An achievements total (cash + XP), a heat badge on mobile, Half/All buttons for the family vault and a won/lost/win % overview for street fights.
- Attack buttons are the same size and show the loot and energy cost.
- Translations improved in every language, and Polish has been rewritten.
- On mobile the bottom bar no longer covers your content.
Try it
The open test runs until Tuesday 17 November, 22:00 (Amsterdam time), so feedback is very welcome.
