New reminders tell you when your lives are full, when your streak is running or when a new Daily Challenge arrives: at your usual playing hour, at most once a day, never at night. Fairer lives: your first move in a level now uses its life, and winning brings it back, so looking at a level and leaving costs nothing. Your first win on level 1 plays a short scene: the chain you built opens the road to level 2. A rainbow ring now marks the wildcard a long chain leaves behind. Challenge friends in Endless and Time Attack (iOS 26): every run counts, not only your record. The leaderboard has its own trophy on the main menu. Windows now use the game's colours, and the double-reward offer fits in a single window. The board is square on every screen, with its cells centred. Goal descriptions also show the mode and the number to reach, and level 64's first star can now be earned. The Dawn world gets its map scene, and we fixed boss targets no chain could hit, small-screen layouts, a board that could stay stuck and moving up to 7x7 boards. Boss targets are no longer built from hidden cells.

Game Center is here: 24 achievements and three leaderboards (Stars, Endless, Time Attack), and you can challenge friends in Endless and Time Attack. Leaving a level in the first world no longer costs a life, level 1 guides you more clearly, and your first win gets a short celebration. Levels 4 and 5 are gentler: fewer chains, more moves. Your progress is now backed up to the cloud for every player. Two achievement descriptions now state their real targets, and Russian goal texts use the right word form for each number.

The Daily Challenge is now free and sits on the home screen: everyone solves the same board each day, with your streak right beside it. You can now share your result in Endless and Time Attack. A chain of four tiles leaves a Rainbow tile behind. Dragging along the edge of a tile now extends your chain, and the guiding hand, magnifier and effects line up exactly with the tiles.

The game no longer stops after your first chain. A four step tour used to cover the board right after that first success; it is gone. Play continues uninterrupted.

Reminder notifications now actually arrive: on some phones they never showed up at all. And the notification permission is asked after you win your first level, once you know what the game is. Plus bug fixes.

Settings now has a row to our other games.

A faster start: the game now opens straight onto the board, with no screen in between. The first levels explain the rule themselves: two numbers you join no longer go to waste, the tiles you can continue to light up. Four of the first five levels have been rebuilt, and the Blind Tile explains itself the first time you meet it. Plus bug fixes.

The first levels are no longer the same level. The last tile of a long chain turns into a rainbow and stands in for the number you are missing. Golden tiles, stone and a board that drains moved into the early levels. Each level now asks for something different, not always "reach this score". Stars are earned by playing, not by leftover moves. Levels that shared a board have been rebuilt.

Lives now start at level 20, so the first 19 cost you none. Refilling lives is paid in coins, and you can turn gems into coins. New power-ups are announced when they unlock. Seven of the tightest levels get one more move, and some levels now ask for longer chains. Hold the app icon to continue where you left off or open the daily gift.

Fixed the bug where a sound effect permanently muted the music. Account deletion is now a clearly labelled row in the profile, under Account. Chains no longer break when you drag quickly, and stars are easier to earn in the first world.
