📢 Developer Statement
We know you’re used to faster update cycles from us – this update took 2 full months to develop.
The reason is simple: we didn’t just work on this patch. At the same time, we’ve been building the next major update, which is already close to release.
Right now, you have access to the Campaign and the Endless Mode. But soon, we’ll be introducing a third game mode.
This mode required us to reprogram nearly the entire core of the game, as it was never originally planned and turned out to be a huge technical challenge.
We appreciate your patience and hope you’re as excited as we are for what’s coming next. ❤️
