Style details#
Aquatic Style#
If you go through the mirror in the bathroom to the nightmare market, look at the modern style on the wall. It will turn to the aquatic style when you look at it in a specific spot, then you can take it and collect it.
Branded Style#
This style is a reference to the fact that top Marketplace Creators are allowed to make first party content for the marketplace. The Branded style is unique in that you only get to use it a single time and it is consumed. So you cannot make as many as you like, and when you use it, you can't use it again unless you unlock it again.
The unlock criteria is:
- Your bedroom must be at least in the 3rd stage of development.
- You release an offer that is rated 5 stars.
- depending on the difficulty, the unlock is not guaranteed.
Unlock chance when you get a 5 star rating.#
| Difficulty | Unlock % |
|---|---|
| For Fun | 100% |
| Normal | 80% |
| Too Real | 50% |

Feylina#
Lead Tester & all things backend/business related @ Jigarbov Productions. She’s my real life player two. With me from the start, she helps me design for the normal player. She plays our maps to break them and she does a fantastic job too. Gets lost super easy, and can’t parkour to save her life. If it wasn’t for her, my maps would be obtuse and far too difficult. She grounds me.
Feylina is married to Jigarbov.
