• Supporters: the Supporter Pack now also includes the Glimmer note sound and the Pearl ball, and a small Supporter seal shows on your Profile and on the results you share. If you already own the pack, both arrive on their own. • The Shop puts the melody from your part of the world first on its Sounds shelf. • With VoiceOver, the ball now makes a soft tick when it hits a wall. • A short vibration pattern ends every run: rising for a victory, falling for a defeat. • Bosses announce themselves with a short sound when they appear and when they change phase. • The pegs of the Cream theme are darker, so they are easier to see.

• Badges: your achievements are now badges on the Profile, with eight new ones for the Weekly Race, the Daily Challenge and Endless. • Three balls that are not for sale (Racer, Summit and Abyssal) unlock only by playing. • Weekly Race Season 1 runs 19 October – 1 November. Reach floor 10 in one race for the Season 1 badge. • VoiceOver reads the Workshop and the Shop clearly: every Workshop item is now one sentence with its price and state. • Buying something in the Workshop or the Shop now plays a sound, and VoiceOver speaks what you bought. • With VoiceOver, an ad now comes only after a button you press. You hear a warning first and "Ad closed" after it, and nothing starts behind the ad. • The chapter-clear screen no longer says you died. • Pinball sound theme, at a player's suggestion: chime bells that climb with each chain, popping bumpers and a knocker. Buy it with essence in the Workshop, and listen first. • Regular enemies now make their own short sound when they go down. • The Shop asks for prices again if they did not load the first time.

• New ball hats in the Workshop: Builder, Wizard, Steampunk and Royal — they stay on the ball in flight. • Skip now gives +3 max HP (capped) instead of nothing. • Simpler map: Descend Deeper on every floor; when Elite Fight shows up, it is an optional button above it. • See where a run would rank before you join the leaderboard. • Workshop confirms big essence purchases; names no longer break mid-word.

• Online leaderboard (optional): join with a nickname after a Daily, Weekly or Endless run and see your rank. No sign-up. • The Cream look now covers the menus too. • New in the Shop: the Iznik, Bosphorus and Sakura themes (try each first), the Music Box sound theme and eight melody packs your pegs play — Rondo alla Turca, Ode to Joy, The Entertainer, Arirang, Sakura Sakura, Kâtibim, Clair de lune and Odeon (listen first). Two new essence chests. • VoiceOver and TalkBack: aim sounds with a practice tutorial, and a board scan with the Magic Tap. • Music that changes in danger and in boss fights. • Leaderboard, sound and stability fixes.

VoiceOver Playable Board • Aim by named directions, fire with a double tap or Magic Tap, hear each volley, and inspect the board whenever you need to. • Clearer accessible peg shapes, combat feedback, and motion-aware presentation. • More reliable rewarded-ad outcomes. Special thanks to accessibility tester Matheus Rheine for helping shape this update.

Fixed: the aim line and the launcher are visible again while you aim.

Fixed an issue where the “watch an ad to continue” offer could appear before an ad was ready. Weekly Race and Deepest Dive leaderboards are now live in Game Center. Stability improvements.

Ten chapters now, not five — and the board fights back. CHAPTERS 6-10 · 100 NEW FLOORS • Silencing the Core opens the titan, and the titan turns out to be the lock on a vault: The Wiring, The Ossuary, The Hoard, The Congregation, The Weighing. • Five new bosses close them. Every region has its own ground, palette and decor. • Enemy health climbs to 4.7x across the new bands. Enemy damage stops at chapter 5's level on purpose: your build is stripped bare at every boundary, so the back half is priced against what you actually have. • Workshop tier 2 doubles the ceiling on Vitality, Power and Guard — +40 health, +3.5 orb damage, +12 turn-start block at full investment. THE BOARD ANSWERS BACK • Erosion — one or two pegs you hit go dark each turn, for the rest of the fight, and the ball passes through them. Story: chapter 1 on, with each chapter's first five floors left plain. Endless: floor 12. Under 30% live pegs the field refills, once a floor. • Circuits — two pegs wired together. Hit both ends in one turn and the wire discharges for 2% of the enemy's max health, through armour. The charge holds between balls: a three-ball turn is a three-move plan. Story: chapter 3. Endless: floor 30. THE WEEKLY RACE • One board a week, the same for everyone, one attempt — and the menu now shows how long is left. • Finishing pays essence on the floor you reached, up to 500, on top of what the run earned. Paid the moment the run ends, offline included. • Your result and past weeks' sit in Profile, with your world rank and a Game Center panel for friends, all-time and weekly. FOUR MORE VOICES FOR THE CHAIN • The pentatonic bounce now comes in five banks: Classic plus Wood, Chip, Bell and Mellow, bought with essence in the Workshop and previewed with a tap. • Same pitches, same length, same loudness in every bank — a pack changes the voice, not how a chain reads or how loud the game is. READING THE BOARD • Fourteen enemies, nine silhouette families instead of five spins of the same star. Bosses carry an outline, and a portrait goes ashen as its health drops. • Orbs split into nine silhouette families, each flying at its own size and trail. • Peg types carry a shape as well as a colour, and blocked damage reads as blocked. BALANCE CHANGES THAT AFFECT RUNS IN PROGRESS • Endless no longer re-applies the early-floor health boost at every 20-floor boundary: floor 21 had twice floor 32's enemy health. Descending made enemies weaker. It does not any more. • The Endless boss rotation goes from three to ten — Gut Coil and the Heart were unreachable at any depth. A run past floor 20 wakes to a different boss at floors 20 and 40. • Endless rankings move to a new season table; one all-time list would mix the old and new balance permanently. DESIGN AND ACCESSIBILITY PASS • A lethal attack is called out before it lands, and Brace shows the block it grants. • Reduce Motion is honoured at the source. Every button is a real 44pt target. • Your first-ever run starts on the board: one tap, no intro card. Starting a new run no longer wipes a saved one without asking. • The run summary shows the relics you carried. You can share a win, not only a defeat. FIXED • The Workshop was promising double what it grants — Vitality, Power and Guard now state their real per-level values. • Numbers landing together step apart instead of printing on top of each other. • Area blasts drew one spark instead of twelve, behind the board instead of over it. Red and bomb pegs now burst where they go off, and a peg going dark says so. • In Endless, drafting Whirlpool or Red Pegs did nothing, and Deep Descent silently reset its bonus every 20 floors. • Brittle Ball and Quicksilver changed the aim line but not the ball. • The aim line now spends the damping the ball spends — long shots no longer draw an optimistic path. • Long sessions no longer collect an audio stutter: every peg hit was leaking a sound player, and the leak was costing frames as well as sound.

Closing the app no longer ends your run — pick it back up from the floor you were on. • Continue an unfinished run: it reopens at the start of the floor you left, with your health, relics and orbs intact • Every shot lands harder — weightier impacts, honest damage numbers, and a real trail behind the ball • Share your result as a card built for it: your floor, your character, your biggest hit • Your career totals live in the Workshop: enemies felled, balls fired, biggest hit, longest chain • Three skins are now earned by playing instead of bought • Endless scores go to Game Center from this version on • The Daily Challenge is one board and one attempt — no more replaying it until the seed cooperates • Two continues per run: the first brings you back at full health, the second at half • Fixed: on the Cream theme the ball was almost invisible against the background • Edge is unlocked from the start — two of the three characters are now free • The HUD shows the relics you're carrying, and the whole panel reads in one glance • Pause names every relic you hold — nowhere else in the game did • Workshop: the entire skin card is tappable, not just the price • Your next goal is one you can actually reach, instead of "finish the game" • Fewer back-to-back ads when a run ends • Optional reminders for your Daily Challenge and streak (Settings → Reminders) • Layout, stability and performance fixes

• Fixed: essence earned during a chapter could be lost when you left from the checkpoint screen • Early floors put up a real fight now — enemies live long enough to take a turn • Crystal Bloom floors have their own look, no longer mistaken for Gold Rush • A first run's opening floors stay free of full-screen ads • New: an optional ad at each chapter checkpoint pays bonus essence

New: a guided first run that teaches the core loop as you play. • Chapter transitions: intro cards and a clearer victory moment • Separate volume settings for music and sound effects • Shop: remove ads + the Aurora look • Draft: earn one extra reroll by watching an ad • Small fixes and polish

Small improvements: Turkish now listed as a supported language, a one-time rating invite at your first big win, and polish.
