Online matches that ran out of time used to sit in your list for ever, counting down past zero with both stakes still held. They now finish on their own. - A turn that goes past its twenty-four hours is settled: whoever let the clock run out loses the match, and the coins they staked go to the player who was left waiting. - A match whose time has gone now says so, instead of reading "moments left" for days. - Nothing else changes: the same pens, the same desks, the same daily ink.

The solo ladder now runs on daily ink: three free matches against the computer each day, with a fresh well at midnight. - Want more today? Watch a short ad for one more match, as many times as you like, or spend coins on a refill of three. - A match you unlocked by watching an ad never shows another ad on your way out of it. - Nothing starts today: daily ink begins three days after you update, and the menu counts it down. New players get their first days unlimited too. - Practice, Vs a Friend, the Weekly Desk and Online are untouched. This carries 1.3.1 as well: a first-launch walkthrough, and two new rows in Options — Rate Pen Fight, and Send Feedback that reaches me rather than the store.

Online games now tell you what they are worth and how long you have. - Every open game on the online screen shows the coins riding on it and how much time your opponent has left to answer. No more guessing which one is about to run out. - Giving up now tells you plainly what it costs before you confirm it: your stake goes to your opponent. It works the same way when they give up on you. - Delete, Give up and Watch respond the moment you tap them, instead of looking stuck while the game talks to Game Center. - Fixed: a game whose opponent had walked away could sit on your list saying "your turn" and then refuse the turn. It now ends properly and pays out. - Fixed: the very first turn of an online game could be handed to the wrong player. - Fixed: the notification screen was cut in half on iPad.

A simpler shop, and coins that finally buy everything. - The shop had nine things in it and now has five. The Desk Pack, Pen Finish Pack, Full Pencil Case and Pocket of Coins are no longer sold. **If you bought any of them you keep everything they gave you** - nothing has been taken away, and Restore Purchases still returns it. - The seven desks and finishes those packs used to hold can now be bought with coins in the Locker, like everything else. Nothing is stuck behind a pack you can no longer buy. - Handful of Coins is now 1,800 coins instead of 500, which is enough for a finish outright. It is the best value on the shelf. - Every online game now costs 100 coins to enter instead of 25, from both players, and the winner still takes both stakes. New players still start with enough for their first game, exactly as before - what changes is that losing one now costs about three wins against the computer to replace, instead of one. It is meant to be worth something to win. - **Your coins now go on the game when you start it, not when it finishes.** They used to be counted only at the end, which meant you could start ten games at once on one game's worth of coins. Your balance will drop as soon as a game begins, and the online screen tells you how much you have riding on games still in play. Nothing is lost: a draw or a walk-out gives it straight back, and so does a challenge nobody ever answers. - Clearing the Weekly Desk pays the board's full prize as before. Playing it again afterwards, on the same week, now pays an ordinary win - the big multiplier is what the prize was for, and you have already won it. - An online game nobody has answered yet no longer reports itself as an error. - When you are short of coins, the game now takes you somewhere you can do something about it, instead of greying out the button. - The starter offer no longer turns up in your first minute, and tapping the dimmed background no longer uses up one of your three chances to see it.

Fixes for online play. - Online games can no longer get stuck. If a round ended on your opponent knocking their own pen off, the next round was theirs to open - but the turn had already been handed to you, so neither phone was allowed to move and the game quietly sat there until it timed out. Both sides now sort it out between them, and a game already stuck fixes itself the moment you open it. - "Give up" works. On a challenge nobody had answered it did nothing at all, and on a live game it went through but the row stayed exactly where it was, so there was no way to tell. Giving up now clears the game, tells you if something went wrong, and counts as the loss it is. - Scores in your games list are right. Every game was showing the score from one turn ago, and a match won or lost on the very last shot showed up as a draw. - A fairer first move. Online, whoever created the game always opened the first round. Who shoots first is now a coin toss both phones work out for themselves. - Your first online game is on us. New players start with enough coins for a match, so you can leave a challenge the moment you install. - Online is the first thing on the menu, on every device. It used to hide under Vs Computer until you had played three games, so two phones on the same version showed different home screens. - "Still sending your turn" no longer sticks. The app now knows the difference between a turn that is late and one that has already arrived. - The app offers to turn on turn alerts, instead of leaving you to find them in Options - which in a game where your opponent plays hours later is the whole point of the mode. - A challenge you have left but not yet played appears under "Your turn", and the app icon badge clears when you open the app. - Tapping anywhere on a game in the online list opens it. Options now shows a Support ID. If you ever report a problem, include it and we can see exactly what your game did. Pens also grip each other on impact instead of sliding cleanly past, so a glancing hit imparts the spin it looks like it should. The starter pen's card was overstating it - it now reads like the pen it is.

Play online. Leave a challenge and get on with your day. - Online matches, one turn at a time. Flick your pen, send the turn, put the phone away. Your opponent plays when they get to it, and you can be notified when it is your move - no lobby, no spinner, no waiting on anyone. - Take on a stranger, or send a friend a six-character code and play whoever you like. An open challenge puts 25 coins on the line and the winner takes them; a friend game costs nothing. - Game Center leaderboards: Player Level, Longest Weekly Streak and Biggest Wager Won. - New pens in the Locker, won with coins - as every pen in this game always has been. The Daily Desk is now the WEEKLY Desk. One fixed challenge a week instead of one a night, so an evening away no longer ends a run you had been building for a month. A daily streak you already had carries over as weeks. Still no ads, no account, no sign-up.

Knock a pen off the desk and it now actually leaves the desk. - Losing pens tip over the edge, fall away from the table and land out of frame, instead of stopping dead at the rim. The physics of the match itself is untouched - only what happens after a pen is already out. - Fixed: your daily wagers did not reset. If you spent all three and then stayed off the Daily Desk screen, "No wagers left today" could follow you for days. Every daily counter now rolls over properly, whether the app was closed overnight or left running. - Fixed: a wager you could not place said "need -1,997 more" instead of telling you that you were out of wagers for the day. - Fixed: opening a rival's card no longer leaves it half off the bottom of the screen - the list now scrolls it into view. Still no ads, no account, no sign-up.

New: a challenge every day, a rival worth beating, and something to spend your coins on. - Daily Desk: one fixed challenge every single day - polished desks, narrow desks, sudden death. Clear it to keep your streak alive. - Pick your fight: four rivals, each with a different approach, aim and follow-through. The screen now tells you exactly what a win pays, and you can put coins on the match if you fancy your chances. - Locker: spend what you win on pen finishes and desks to fight on. - Choose your pen: every pen shows what it is actually good at, measured off its own physics. Nothing in the case is simply better than everything else. - Vs a Friend: two players, one phone, with every pen unlocked for both - whatever level you are. - Smarter opponents that size a shot to the distance instead of swinging flat out, and play the same way on every device. - Pen physics rebuilt from the ground up, tighter aiming, and working sound and vibration toggles. Still no ads, no account, no sign-up. Class dismissed.
