Waves now scale properly on iPad and on Mac, so the sea looks the same wherever you play.

A new app icon: a pale stone caught mid-skip over a dark sea, under an open sky. Light, dark, and tinted home screens each get their own version of the scene.

The sea has a voice, and the night sky has a moon. • Ambient sea — you can now hear the water: a soft bed of lapping that thickens into wind-blown chop as the waves build, and quiets after dark. Like every sound in Skiplash it's generated in the app rather than recorded, so calm water and a storm genuinely sound different, not just louder. It steps aside if you're already listening to music. • A moon — the night sky is no longer only stars. It shows tonight's real phase, waxing and waning through the month exactly as the real one does. • A sky that can keep your hours — a new setting anchors the day-night cycle to your device's clock, so open Skiplash at dusk and the sea is at dusk. Off by default, so the sky still journeys as you score unless you choose otherwise. • Settings — a gear on the menu for sound effects, the ambient sea, haptics, and the real-time sky. Every choice is remembered. • Small things: a quiet word of guidance on a first-ever run, and a friends leaderboard that explains itself when nobody you know plays yet.
