Storms are now enabled by default in Classic matches during Halloween. Outside the event, weather remains off by default. You can turn off Halloween mode in Settings. The same rule applies to local matches, online matches and rematches.

Start playing straight from your first launch. Rematch is easier to find, and the AI accepts rematches. Other opponent starts a new search, with a newly named AI if needed. Fixed game invitations between friends.

Pikon now makes the most of big screens! On iPad and on an opened iPhone Duo, turn your device sideways: the board takes the full height on the left, with the players, the clock and the powers on the right. With a keyboard, aim with the arrow keys and play with Enter, Space or the column’s number. Online, a storm only breaks out if both players have storms enabled. Fixes and improvements.

Playing with friends just got easier! A friend is in a match? Invite them to play you as soon as it ends. Friend requests now show up everywhere, even mid-match, and Pikon helps you turn on notifications so you never miss an invitation. On Home, a countdown announces the Halloween event, and tips help you discover new avatars and the Pikon Route. Your friends list now shows whether each friend is playing Classic or Territory, and how long their match has left. Every invitation names the game on offer, even in notifications. Friends’ online status and invitations are more reliable, even when the connection drops. Fixes and improvements.

Halloween is coming to Pikon! From October 31 to November 8, complete a match to unlock Nova’s vampire and Mori’s wizard costumes, yours to keep. Classic storms can now strike in both local and online matches, with a new warning above the scores. Outside Halloween, enable storms in Settings; online, both players must allow them. Matchmaking fixes and improvements.

Pikon no longer asks for tracking permission: on iPhone and iPad, ads are always limited and non-personalized. New in Classic: storms whose lightning burns tokens, in local and AI matches. Lessons are now offered after your matches instead of before them. More intense animations and cascades, fixes and improvements.

Friend requests no longer go unnoticed: a badge on Friends, an alert when someone sends you one while Pikon is open, and a reminder if one has been waiting for more than a day. Tapping the notification opens your requests directly. Reminders only show if you have allowed them. Fixes and improvements.

Your total XP now shows everywhere: it counts up at the end of a match and appears in your statistics, on your friends' profiles and in your journey. In the leaderboard, your place stays pinned at the bottom of the screen, even outside the top 10. Fixes and improvements.

Pikon World is here: a 3D archipelago where your faction conquers territories with the Influence you earn in every online match. Each territory shows its price on the map, with what you are missing or what you will have left. Pikon now also speaks Portuguese, German and Italian. Game invitations ring and show as a banner, even on a locked phone, and gentle reminders help you keep your streak. Fairer matches and assorted fixes.

Pikon World now adapts to your device: on older iPhones and iPads, the world draws a lighter scene to stay smooth and avoid unexpected closing. We also added crash diagnostics so we can fix any problem you run into faster.

Explore Pikon World: join a faction, conquer territories and use Influence earned in online matches. Review your games with the new match analysis and replay features. The Pikon World cosmetic shop is coming soon.
