Kibo Creatures: Capture, Growth, and Battles

The creatures in the game are officially called Kibo (Japanese: キボ, Korean: 키보, Chinese: 奇波). Manjuu co-CEOs Lin Shuyin and Chen He described a Starlink bond with Kibo. Kibo have growth stages that include Young Form and Mature Form; as they grow, their appearance, behaviour, talent, and skills change.

During open-world exploration, Kibo can serve as mounts. In later tests, Kibo modes expanded to include Kibo duels, regional challenges, friend battles, and the Star Crown Cup. In the third Chinese test, players could bring 8 Kibo per side in Kibo battles, with up to 3 deployed at once.

Following the third test, Manjuu promised a Kibo-battle rework, mounted capture (星结), and a pity system for the Shining Kibo Egg. Based on test feedback, the official launch version reworks Kibo battles and capture animations.

Home Management and Dormitory System

Home management is one of the core gameplay pillars alongside open-world exploration, action combat, and creature capture. Kibo assist with home chores and home-system tasks such as farming, crafting, and gathering materials.

Manjuu co-CEOs described a dormitory system with more furniture and dorm skins planned. After the third test, Manjuu promised a Home Hub reorganisation, and the official launch version reworks the home-management workload based on test feedback.

Multiplayer and Banner Rules in Tests

In the third Chinese test, banners gave a limited 5-star character within 90 pulls and a limited 5-star weapon-type item (灵子) within 80 pulls, with no 50/50 loss. These were test rules and final launch gacha rates, pity rules, and banner lineups have not been announced yet.

Regarding multiplayer, co-op boss activities appeared in earlier builds, and friend battles were added in later tests. However, the English multiplayer setup is unconfirmed.
