The arena fights smarter, not louder. ARENA REBALANCE Snakes fire far fewer projectiles — but they strafe faster and switch direction constantly. The fight is about landing your shots now, not outlasting a wall of them. FEWER INTERRUPTIONS Arenas trigger less often, and spread further apart the longer you run. The run is the main event again. LONG RUNS STAY FRESH Deep runs no longer cycle the same handful of layouts — far more variety the further you get. CLEANER HUD Your target score flashes once at the start, then clears out of the way. FIXES • Leaderboard ranks and scores no longer clipped • Consistent fonts across Challenges and Settings

• Fixed arena snakes doing no damage at all — their shots went right through you, so arenas had no risk to them. They bite again. • Fixed the leaderboard listing everyone as "Player", your own name included. Real Game Center names now show up.

NEW • Global leaderboard — see exactly where you rank in the world. Finish a run and the game tells you your new position and who you just overtook. • Character abilities — every character now has its own passive, and the more expensive ones are genuinely stronger. Ranger keeps you protected after an arena, Rogue dodges faster, Mage slows the snakes, Druid turns every arena into a payday. The ability shows on screen the moment it does something. • A month of daily rewards — the streak runs a full 30 days, with free upgrades on days 7 and 21, revive tokens on 14 and 28, and a big gem payout for going the distance. The menu now shows what tomorrow brings. • Chase your best — your personal best is saved and shown in the run itself, and the game counts down the metres as you close in on it. • Weekly challenges — a new set every week, paying far more than the dailies. Plus dozens of new permanent goals and a daily set that properly rotates. • The game now teaches itself — the first time you meet a bow, an arena, a shield or an eagle, it tells you what to do. Once, then never again. BALANCE • Far fewer ads. None at all when you first open the app, a real gap between them, and never two in a row. • The run is fair again at high speed. As you accelerate, obstacles space out to match — the reaction time you get late in a run has more than doubled. • Arena difficulty now has a ceiling. Snakes stop growing, and deep rounds are an endurance test rather than something no reflexes could survive. • Snakes hold fire for a moment when an arena opens, then attack in staggered waves instead of all at once. • Arena health carries between rounds, so a deep run is a real gauntlet. • Arenas run on a 60 second clock with a visible countdown. FIXES • Snake shots no longer hit you from a gap away — the hitbox now matches the projectile you can actually see. • Obstacle hitboxes tightened. No more dying to a tree you never touched. • Music no longer stops partway through a run. • Fixed the game over screen appearing while the run carried on behind it. • Fixed snakes following you out of the arena after a revive. • Fixed losing your shield after some arenas and dying the instant you landed. • Fixed your best score reading one metre short of the run you just finished. • Fixed coin and gem totals not refreshing on the menu after a purchase. • Fixed the world running out on very long runs. • Added a Rate button, a privacy policy link, and a confirmation before the back button closes the game.

NEW • Character abilities — every character now has its own passive. Ranger keeps you protected longer after an arena, Rogue dodges faster, Mage slows the snakes down, Druid turns every arena into a payday. The more you pay, the stronger the ability. It appears on screen the moment it kicks in, and you can compare them all in the shop. • 30 days of daily rewards — the streak now runs a full month, with free upgrades on days 7 and 21, revive tokens on 14 and 28, and a big gem payout for going the distance. • Personal best — your furthest run is saved and shown on the main menu and the game over screen. Beat it and the game will tell you. • Shields actually protect you — picking one up grants 5 seconds of invulnerability with a countdown in the corner, on top of the bonus arena heart. • More to chase — dozens of new challenges, plus a daily set that genuinely rotates instead of handing you the same three every day. • A new loading screen tip every run, drawn from a much bigger pool. BALANCE • Far fewer ads. None at all when you first open the app, a proper gap between them, and never two in a row. • A much fairer opening. Obstacles start sparse and build up gradually instead of throwing a wall at you in the first ten seconds. • Arena snakes hold fire for a moment when the fight starts, then attack in staggered waves instead of all at once. The same pressure, but you can read it and move through it. • Snakes dodge more unpredictably the deeper you go. • Arena health now carries between rounds, so a deep run is a real gauntlet rather than a series of fresh starts. • Arenas now run on a 60 second clock with a visible countdown. Let it run out and the snakes win. • Coin and gem rewards rebalanced across arenas and challenges. FIXES • Obstacle hitboxes tightened — no more dying to a tree you never touched. • Music no longer stops partway through a run. • Fixed the game over screen appearing while the run carried on behind it. • Fixed losing your shield after some arenas and dying the instant you landed. • Fixed snakes following you out of the arena after a revive. • Fixed your best score reading one metre short of the run you just finished. • Fixed coin and gem totals not refreshing on the menu after a purchase. • Fixed the world running out on very long runs. • Calmer, steadier camera during arena fights.
