SKYBOUND ON IPAD The game fills the iPad's screen in any orientation, with more of the sky, the tower and the swinging block in view. It plays in a Stage Manager or Split View window too, and follows the window as it changes size. FOLDING PHONES Folded, it's the phone game. Opened flat, it plays like the iPad. MUSIC The music no longer goes quiet on phones that report other audio playing when nothing is, and it comes back on its own after a call, Siri or an alarm. ALSO - The crane's rope runs off the top of the screen; the pivot is no longer in view.

SCORING, MADE CLEAR Every landing pays what it pays. Land a PERFECT and the combo starts; keep landing to keep it going, and another PERFECT refills the meter. When the meter runs out, the combo pays a bonus in points and new residents, and the bigger the combo the much bigger the bonus. Miss or topple and it's lost. GOLD RUSH Build your combo to 5 and the next 5 blocks are gold, triple points each. Land the fifth PERFECT and the rush keeps going. Gold blocks now appear only in a Gold Rush, so gold means something. PERFECT LANDINGS ADD UP Over a climb, every 7 PERFECTs earn a super block (gold, if a rush is on), every 11 the tower straightens itself, every 13 an extra life. HOW SCORING WORKS The help page is a deck of cards now: a picture of the thing on screen, a title, a line or two. No reading required. ALSO - Your lives show as hearts under the score: two to start, and the last one beats. - A lost combo flashes the bar red so you see it go. - Awnings sit flush with the window frame; the bottom tap zone is smaller, so low taps drop the block. - A block landing anywhere on a super block's wide ledge is graded by how far it is from center, like every other landing. - Zen's game over puts Try Again right under the title.

BALLOONS Bonus balloons drift between your tower and the block. Pop one with a falling block for 50 to 500 points, or catch the rare one carrying an extra life. Wind hurries them along, meteors pop them, and the black hole swallows them whole. SHARPSHOOTER Pop a balloon and land that same block PERFECT, and the balloon pays out twice. A new Game Center achievement marks your first one. GOLD RUSH Land a gold block PERFECT with your streak at five or more and the next five blocks are gold, each paying triple. Land the fifth PERFECT and the rush keeps going until a landing that isn't. A miss only ends the rush; no floors lost. POPULATION Every block you land houses residents, more for a better landing. A small figure under the score counts who's home, the game-over screen counts who's still home at the end, and everyone who ever lived in a finished tower joins your city's population on a road sign on the lawn. ZEN A second way to play, chosen under Tap to Start: the climb on its own, with no points, streaks, callouts or power-ups; just the music, the weather and the thud of each landing. Three hearts; a miss topples nothing, a heart goes with it, and the last heart beats. FACADES Your landings show on the building: awnings and a balcony for a PERFECT floor, a single awning or flower box for a GOOD one, a balcony at every window with lights strung across for a super block. Rain beads on the glass; snow frosts the panes and caps the awnings with icicles. MORNING A sunrise for the daytime world, with a dawn sky that cools to blue as you climb. Pick Morning, Noon or Neon Night under Settings > Theme. ALSO - Your lives show as hearts under the score: two to start, one more per extra life, one fewer per topple. - Every message has its own place on screen, and nothing overlaps anything. - Settings is a hub of tiles with a big Resume button. - Neon Night hums with power: surges down the tower, up the rope and along the skyline. - Your city has room for twenty towers, hand-drawn bluebirds visit the rope, a V of geese crosses above the snow, and icicles grow under the snow on a hanging block. - Every ten floors the building hangs a banner with the floor count on it. - Straighten Up works on its own every ten PERFECTs; the button is gone. - Swiping home no longer drops the block on its way out. - Many small fixes.
