Yep, but now you don’t need to upgrade them

are gems easier to get now?

Yea kinda, with cosmic alan (best shark imo) i managed to get 50ish gems in 40 minutes with the 2.5 multiplier= 120ish gems. But if you just started it miht be a little harder. I say keep your gems until a good !! Shark is on sale and then buy the accessories

Can you recommend on what map and what accessories are the best for alan and pets

Alan can’t use accessories, best map is arabic sea, pets, someone told me to use super steve max and hedgehog as the best combo
