One less tap to keep playing. Choosing "Watch Ad to Continue" used to open a second screen asking you to confirm the same thing. It now starts the video straight away, so getting your extra moves or extra time is a single tap.

Fixes a serious bug with the "watch a video" offer. After watching the video for +5 moves, the game could stop responding: the popup would not close and there was no way back into the level. It happened when the ad reported closing before it reported the reward, which is common on some devices. The reward now lands whichever order those arrive in, and the popup can always be closed - so nothing an ad does can end your session.

You can see the gem you are dragging. It used to be drawn exactly under your fingertip, so the piece you were aiming with was the one piece you could not see - fine with a mouse, not fine with a thumb. It now floats just above your finger while you drag. Where the gem lands has not changed at all. On levels where the exact spot you release decides the cell, it still sits right under your finger.

Fixes a duplicate victory popup. If you tapped Next quickly after winning, a safety check could misread the win as never having registered and celebrate it a second time - on top of the level you had just moved to. Tapping through that second popup skipped a level you had not played yet. The check now records the win the moment it lands, so moving on quickly is just moving on quickly.

Sound and music fix. Every level transition was quietly stacking another copy of the game's audio handlers. By level 26 a single level start could fire two dozen overlapping music restarts, and a win could fire the victory sound many times at once - enough to stall the game on a board you had already cleared. The sound system now releases its old listeners before registering new ones, so the count stays flat no matter how many levels you play in a row.

Fixes a level that could get stuck. - On some Oceanic Depths levels the board could freeze once you had already met every objective, showing the win totals but never finishing the level. That is fixed. - Levels now double-check their own win condition, so a completed board always ends properly. Thanks for playing Crystal Chain.

Two fixes from player reports. - The opening story sequence now plays at the right pace instead of lingering on an empty sky. - Fixed a freeze where dragging another crystal at the moment you completed a level could lock the board and stop the win screen from appearing. - Extra safety around level completion and ads, so a stuck animation can never leave the board unresponsive. Thanks for playing Crystal Chain.

This update is all about stability and polish. - Fixed a crash that could end a Flow Mode run on your very first merge. - Endless runs now finish properly and record your score and stars instead of ending silently. - Combo timing and scoring behave as intended again, so long chains reward you the way they should. - Sound effects and haptic feedback now fire reliably on every merge. - Tidied up how levels start and stop, so the game stays smooth over longer play sessions. Thanks for playing Crystal Chain.
