[Fixed] • Fixed challenge attempts not being consumed when you force-quit the app after a failed run instead of tapping OK. Attempts are now counted the moment a run starts, not when it ends — the same applies if you quit mid-game. • Attempts left are now shown as "4 left" instead of "(2/5)". The old label ran one ahead while a run was in progress, and the list and the result popup could disagree. • Fixed a used-up challenge ticket still appearing after you reconnect. The buy button now shows immediately instead of after one more tap. • Leaving before you press Start no longer uses an attempt — attempts are spent only when a run actually begins. • Quitting mid-run used to say "three strikes ended this attempt". It now correctly says the challenge was stopped. [Other] • Fixed button labels that could spill outside their button, and staked points running into the record holder's nickname.

[Balance] • Each player will be limited to one territory per minigame. During the August season, one player claimed most of the map with a single game they excel at, leaving newcomers no records they could realistically beat. With 13 minigames, that means up to 13 territories per person. • If you already hold a territory with a game, that game appears dimmed and cannot be selected on other territories. Taking over an ally's record in the same game is limited too — but re-beating your own record is always allowed. • Challenging other countries' records stays completely unlimited. To claim land you just neutralized, though, you'll need a game you haven't used yet. If one of your records is neutralized, that game frees up again. • We'll announce the exact start time and how existing records are cleaned up in-app and by push notification. [Improved] • The map's top-right buttons were redrawn to a single rule, so their weight and size match and the shapes stay legible over the bright map. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[New] • Added Grid view, on by default. Tap the grid button at the top right of the map and merged mega-territories split back along their original cell borders, drawn as dotted lines. Each cell shows the record set on it, and you can tap a cell to challenge just that record — no more scrolling a list of 90+ games. • Added My Challenges (crossed-swords button). Every challenge you have running, grouped by whose record it is. Tickets expire, and until now finding where you'd staked them meant combing the map. • Added Defense (shield button). Your records under attack right now, then everything you lost in the last 24 hours — who took it and when — with a shortcut straight to that patch of land. [Improved] • Fixed the map stuttering while panning or zooming. The cause was the whole map being redrawn on a timer even when nothing in the world had changed. • Fixed challenger names overlapping the remaining time when the app language is English. Names stay on one line and are truncated with an ellipsis if too long. • Reopening a territory's record list returns you to where you were scrolled. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[Fixed] • Fixed staked points showing as 0P for every player on past-season leaderboards. Nothing was lost — the value simply wasn't saved when the season was archived, and July's records have all been restored to their real values. • Fixed country rankings placing the share and cell count on the same line as short country names but on the line below for longer ones, making every row look different. Rows are now laid out identically regardless of name length. [Improved] • The leaderboard now refreshes while it's open. Switching tabs or months pulls the latest records from the server, so you never need to restart the app to see current standings — and your scroll position is kept. • When a season rolls over, the server verifies the previous season's archive is complete and rebuilds it automatically if anything is missing. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[Fixed] • Fixed the world map showing mini-game record units in Korean even when the app language was set to English. The map now updates the moment you change languages. • Fixed the Timing game's needle stuttering periodically when you started a claim right after breaking someone's territory. The cause was the hidden map's lock markers being redrawn on a timer. [Improved] • The map is no longer redrawn while it's hidden behind a mini-game, keeping timing-based games more consistently accurate. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[Improved] • Fixed the root cause of the periodic stutter during mini-games. The Timing game's needle now spins at a perfectly steady rate in every situation. • Removed the heavy stutter that appeared when you started a claim right after breaking someone's territory. Your previous result syncing to the server no longer interferes with the next round. • Background updates — rankings, profiles, balance — now pause while a round is running, protecting accuracy in timing-based games. • Less background traffic during play, so lower battery and data use. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[Fixed] • Fixed the previous season's map and records still showing when a new season began while the app was open. The new world map now appears correctly the moment the season rolls over. • Fixed the two seasons mixing together — map and rankings alike — after viewing a past season's map from the leaderboard and returning to the current one. • Fixed returning players being asked to choose their country again at the start of a new season. Your country from the previous season now carries over. • Fixed the season-ending notification sending outdated standings labelled as the "final standings". It now carries the current top 3 nations at the time it is sent, and the top player is announced only once the season has ended. • Fixed season start and end alerts arriving late or not at all. They now come through on time even when your device is asleep. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[New] • Zoom out far enough to see the whole world map, with a desk-and-lamp backdrop behind it. Your first launch opens fully zoomed out. • Territory lists now show who set each record, with their avatar and name. • Started as a guest? You can now link your Game Center account from Settings — your territories, records and points all carry over. • The map remembers where you were. Reopen the app or exit a mini-game and you're right back at the same view. [Fixed] • Fixed records not being saved when the server connection was still being established. The game now waits for the connection (and keeps retrying automatically) before you start. • Fixed the bottom banner appearing for ad-free users on launch or resume, where it could also cover buttons. • Fixed the Timing game's result being measured up to one frame late. It's now based on the exact moment you tap. [Improved] • Fixed the root cause of the periodic needle stutter in the Timing game — it now spins at a perfectly steady rate on any device or refresh rate. • Flags and records are larger at full zoom-in, and the top and bottom map edges are softer. • Territories are easier to tap on every screen size; a near miss now selects the closest territory. • Removed frame hitches during mini-games. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[Improved] • Flags and their patterns are now clearly visible even on dark country colors. • Fixed periodic needle stutter in the Timing (stop-the-needle) game, especially during busy seasons. [Fixed] • Fixed challenge records being intermittently voided as a "network error" due to a clock-sync issue. Records now register reliably on a normal connection. [Other] • Stability improvements.

[Fixed] • Exact-tie challenges no longer break the defending record — ties now favor the defender. • Fixed cases where a beaten record wasn't applied and the win was lost. We now check the server connection and state before a challenge starts, and refresh the connection when you switch accounts. • Fixed overlapping text on the Rhythm result screen. [Changed] • Closing (×) during a challenge now uses up that challenge attempt, with a confirmation prompt first. [Other] • Minor display and stability improvements.

[Improved] • Much stronger auto-clicker detection in Tap Sprint. Machine-perfect intervals or humanly impossible speeds are voided — even when the tool is switched on and off mid-run, that segment is detected. • Tap Sprint now counts single-finger input only (multi-touch limited) for fair record competition. • In Rhythm, the target BPM is now revealed only in the results, after all taps. You must memorize the demonstrated beat. • Closed an exploit in timed games where leaving the app let you preview the question. Time now keeps running while the app is in the background. • Light Memory now gives haptic feedback for each color while the sequence is shown. • Fixed frequent stutter during mini-games, especially on 120Hz high-refresh devices — timing games run much more smoothly now. [Changed] • Failing out (three strikes) during a challenge now uses one challenge attempt. [Fixed] • Fixed challenges not starting in merged territories even when you had a valid ticket. • Switching to a different Game Center account on the same device no longer carries over the previous account's territories, records, or points. Each account now has completely separate progress. • Fixed an error when challenging a territory you had captured before changing your country. • Fixed forfeited claims leaving the land looking captured. • Fixed challenger names briefly showing as an unreadable ID. [Other] • Improved update prompts and general stability.

[Improved] • Updated our privacy and ad-consent flow — a consent screen for users in the EEA/UK and an App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt on iOS. • Territory info now shows who's challenging each minigame — avatar, country, name, remaining tries and time left. Tap for details. • Challenge tickets now expire: you get a reminder before expiry, and unused tries are lost. If it expires mid-game, that run won't count. • Challenges no longer disappear when territories merge. • Fixed the challenger banner overlapping minigame text, and challenger names showing as "?". • Added a unit (levels) to Light Memory records. [Other] • General stability improvements.

[Improved] • Player details are now accurate — even inside merged territories, you see only that player's own records, and the real number of territories they hold (merged vs. solo). • Territory history revamped — who claimed, neutralized or merged each land, and with which minigame, all in chronological order. Records stay correct even when territories merge or split. • Notifications that arrive while the app is open now appear right in-game as a toast. • Point and challenge-ticket balances now update in real time in the shop and on the ticket purchase screen. • Polished overlapping titles/labels in the leaderboard and player info popups. • Fixed a neutralization being logged twice in a territory's history. [Other] • General stability improvements.

• Fixed bottom-banner alignment on iPad. • Fixed some popup buttons and titles overflowing their area.

[Improvements] • Removed the redundant "Cancel" button from post-purchase confirmation popups. • Fixed the push toggle showing "on" even without notification permission. It now reflects the real state and guides you to Settings when permission is off. • Improved the music player: history shuffle, a fixed "previous" button, and no more stopping at the end of a track. • Fixed a phantom "last season result" popup on first launch. • Fixed background music overlapping with ad sound while an ad is playing. • Improved store items (point packs, season pass) sometimes taking a while to appear. [Other] • Updated the in-app purchasing system to the latest version for stability.
