We are still working on 3 remaining levels - namely Street, Alley and District - and will release patches for them in a future update.
We've done our best to squash any bugs we could find but if you do come across any, please let us know by sending us an email at [email protected]
In addition to the above, we are planning to expand the Sairento experience by releasing a new level at the end of September and another one at the end of October!
