v1.3.1 — Final Ninja Hunt overhaul • Final stage (LV 111) reborn • Shadow Clone Master status hints now in your language. • Level start "LV XXX — FIND THE NINJAS — GO!" overlay sized for every language; weapons unlock the instant the subtitle finishes.

v1.3.0: Shadow Combat Overhaul • All five masters re-enter and exit with their own bespoke arena cutscenes — from Kage'ei's ink-clone reveal to Zetsugen's brush-stroke X slash. • New paper-door mechanic: ninjas hiding behind doors quietly lift them, and you can see their feet peek out. Difficulty curve still respected. • New defeat dialogue: each master gives tier-aware "go practice and come back" guidance instead of a cold fail screen. • Streamlined loss flow: the extra CONTINUE intermission is gone. Loss feedback now flows straight into the master's parting words. • Castle Keep wears a gold CLEAR plate after the final boss, and the main menu has new Advanced Challenge / DLC placeholders (content in development). • Numerous visual + stability fixes, with smoother castle navigation and achievement tracking.

What's new in 1.1.0 • Shadow Castle Map: a brand-new level-select screen. Four floors stack from First to Tenshukaku, with each block unlocking after you defeat its boss. Tap a cleared boss for a re-challenge, jump to Premium practice mode, or train a jutsu at its unlock node. • Full 111-stage story. Five master bosses now speak before and after every fight. Weapon unlocks come with a single line of lore. A multi-scene endgame plays after the Stage 111 gauntlet. • Codex. Read up on Kage-ichi, the five Blood-Pact masters, and the Shadow Scroll Guardian. Boss entries unlock tier by tier as you take them down. • New opening cutscene leads with the story of the Castle and the Pact before the night of the breach. • Faster, sharper feel. Smoother difficulty curve for late-game stages, instant-response weapon bar on iOS, and a Total Play Time stat in your records. • Quality of life. PLAY AGAIN now returns you to the exact level you lost (boss or normal). One-tap CONTINUE on the main menu opens the Castle Map. • Update reminder. We'll nudge you when a new version ships in the App Store. Localised: English, 繁中, 日本語, 한국어, ภาษาไทย, हिन्दी.
