Hello, Runners!
Our team is actively working on bug fixes, gameplay improvements, and new content for the game.
Many of you have shared feedback about bugs, technical issues, and other rough edges. We truly appreciate every report and are working hard to fix these problems and improve the overall experience. Unfortunately, this process takes time, but your feedback directly helps us make the game better.
At the same time, we are expanding existing levels with additional areas to explore, more varied routes, and new gameplay sequences.
