Main Menu/Login screens

The appearance of the main menu, for the most part remains the same throughout the year. They are usually changed to commemorate major content releases, as well as during Halloween and Christmas events.

This page serves as a gallery to display past appearances and elements of the main menu.

A gallery of possible symbols that come out of the torches. While the unique sprites for an update typically all have an equal chance to appear, this is dependent on the distribution of slots in the cache as there is only 12.

This happens either due to an error like Hunter, (Paw takes up 5 slots, Kebbit and Butterfly takes 2), or the amount of unique sprites does not fit neatly, such as Birthday and Fossil island which contain 5 (fossil island has the spiral take up 4 slots, while birthday has the cake, hand and circle 5 take up 2 slots with others being 3), and Shattered Relics and 2024 Halloween which has 10 (both let the first take up 3 slots while each relic/pumpkin take 1).

Some sprites also have various other errors, Christmas, Halloween, Monkey Madness II and Summoning all have errors with the images themselves such as a line at the top and pixels from other tiles in an assumed spritegrid. These are not noticeable in game as due to the dynamic nature of the flames single pixels will disappear and anything else blends in.
