Fixed "Watch ad" buttons showing "no ad available" if tapped right after opening the app — they now show "Loading ad..." for a moment instead of failing. Fixed the Lifetime Gold leaderboard showing many top players tied at the same score — it now ranks dedicated players correctly instead of everyone capping out at the same number. Fixed the gold-per-second display showing a much bigger number than what you were actually earning once your gold started slowing down — it now shows your real rate. A proper anvil sound — actual hammer-on-metal, not a placeholder beep. Small stability improvements.

Fixed an issue where an upgrade bought right after Reforging could appear to do nothing — it was actually working, just multiplying a producer you didn't own yet. The Upgrades screen now tells you when that's the case. Small stability improvements.

Brand-new players now get a short welcome tour explaining how to tap, hire producers, and Reforge — skippable any time. Small stability and monetization improvements behind the scenes to help keep EmberForge growing.

Every anvil skin now comes alive. Classic gets a polished-steel shine, Molten Core has glowing lava cracks and rising embers, and Verdigris drifts with glowing spores. The premium skins go all out: Obsidian crackles with lightning and orbiting lights, Gilded showers coins and sparkles under a golden sunburst, and Dragonfire is ringed with real flame. Every skin also reacts differently when you tap. Rebalanced the economy so progress is paced properly — your gold now slows down once you're well past your next Reforge, so Reforging stays the smart move instead of just tapping your way to astronomical numbers. You'll see a hint on the main screen when that happens. Reworked the daily reward: it now pays out based on how your forge is doing right now, it's always credited in full, and it no longer pops up twice. It also shows up for brand-new players. Fixed Ascension so it works properly for late-game players: no more free Ember Shards after Ascending, and later Ascensions are now actually reachable. "Share Progress" now links to EmberForge on the App Store. Small stability and polish improvements.

Fixed a crash that could happen for established players with very high lifetime gold, triggered by submitting a Game Center leaderboard score. If the game was crashing for you after signing into Game Center, this fixes it. Small stability improvements to the app's review-request prompt.

What's New in 1.7 10 new gold upgrades — including dedicated upgrades for the Trade Guild, Royal Armory, Dwarven Mine, and Dragon Forge, which never had one before. There's now a lot more to spend gold on deep into the late game. New "Share Progress" button on the Reforge screen — show off your gold, Reforges, and Ascensions. Small stability and polish improvements.

What's New in 1.6 Fixed a crash on launch that could happen for players who hadn't yet signed into Game Center — the sign-in prompt could collide with the welcome-back screen and force-close the app before you could do anything. Fixed a potential crash related to sound effects loading — audio setup no longer runs on the main thread, so it can't stall or interrupt gameplay. Fixed the banner ad occasionally failing to display properly. Under-the-hood stability improvements.

What's New in 1.5 Fixed a crash on launch that could happen for players with very large gold and Ember Shard totals if the game was crashing for you before, this fixes it. Reforging isn't the end anymore introducing Ascension, a second prestige layer. Once you've maxed out Reforging, Ascend for Ember Cores, a rare permanent currency with its own upgrade shop, for a new goal to grind toward. Rebalanced how Ember Shards boost your production so growth stays meaningful without snowballing out of control late-game. Two new achievements for reaching Ascension.

Your progress now syncs with iCloud — switch phones or reinstall without losing anything. Game Center leaderboards — see how your lifetime gold and reforge count stack up. Fixed an issue where "watch ad" could occasionally fail to load.

Reforging now has a Level bar, so you can see exactly how close you are to your next reforge. New daily reward pop in, collect your gold, and get a bonus that grows the longer your streak runs. Two brutal new achievements for the truly dedicated. More varied sound effects across buying, reforging, and rewards. Fixed a bug where "Watch ad to double gold" could fail to play the ad.

Ember Shards now have a real purpose spend them in the new permanent Shard Shop for upgrades that survive every future Reforge, and keep earning more from every Reforge after this one. Sound effects for tapping, buying, and reforging. New achievements 12 to unlock, each with a gold reward. A gentle reminder notification if you've been away and gold is piling up. Refreshed look for the Producers, Upgrades, and Settings screens. Various bug fixes and polish.

- Fixed a bug where gold production could show as 0/sec even though your workers were producing - Added haptic feedback for taps, purchases, and prestige - Fixed rewarded ads occasionally failing to load - Remove Ads now also removes the banner ad - Small bug fixes and polish
