## What is Salzpenner?

Three deposit bottles. One dream. All of Lüneburg.

You wake up hungover in an alley of Lüneburg's old town – broke, but full of ambition. Collect deposit bottles, beg for scraps, and turn a few cents into a salt empire. Salzpenner is the idle RPG with local flavour, dark humour and surprising depth.

THE LOOP THAT NEVER SLEEPS – Collect bottles, beg, cash in deposits. Your income keeps running even when the app is closed. Come back and rake in the offline loot.

FIGHT REAL BUMS – Challenge real players in the arena. Gear up weapons, clothes and amulets, spec as tank, healer or bruiser, and climb the ranks.

11 SALT CATACOMBS, 100+ BOSSES – Descend into the old salt mines. Over a hundred hand-painted bosses, juicy drops and a serious endgame.

CATCH A STREET CRITTER – Catch, breed and fuse 20+ critters and send them into battle – from cheeky rats to salt dragons.

BUILD YOUR BUM EMPIRE – Upgrade your hideout, hire a crew, level stations and unlock set synergies.

FOUND A CLAN – Team up, wage clan wars and conquer the districts of Lüneburg together.

12 REAL LÜNEBURG DISTRICTS – Travel the map, fight for the best spots, become King of Lüneburg.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-07-30

Version 1.3 — the summer update:

• MOBILE CLEAN-UP: The "Today" page is half as long now, with collapsible cards and bigger buttons. Less scrolling, fewer mis-taps.
• CUSTOM ICONS: Over 50 new hand-painted symbols replace system emojis — a consistent look on every device.
• BETTER NOTIFICATIONS: Push for new direct messages, a potion alarm 10 minutes before expiry, and a test button in settings.
• 7 NEW DAILY EVENTS: Kalkberg Gold Rush, the Sülzwiesen funfair, Marksmen's Fair, LSK home match and more — a different boost every day.
• TURF REPAIRS: Holding a spot now costs money and parts — the longer you hold, the pricier it gets. More contested turf for everyone.
• BLACK MARKET XXL: Listings up to €1 billion, with a tiered fence's cut.
• CLAN ENDGAME: The Am Sande Monument is a true long-term project now — with an exclusive profile banner for the clan that completes it.
• Various bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-24

Your hobo moves onto your iPhone: home screen and lock screen widgets with cash, gold teeth and your running action. Quick actions on long-pressing the app icon. Haptic feedback for level-ups and crits. Clan pushes now show boss art, salzpenner.lol links open right in the app - and when your clan blows the mine, the countdown appears on every clanmate's lock screen automatically. Plus: push notifications now work reliably.
