The Director gets its punch back. Your replays now hit as hard as the moment you lived. Intercepts detonate — shockwave, shrapnel, and a white crack of impact. Core breaches split the atom and throw debris. Near-deaths bleed red at the edges the way they do when it's your thumb on the line. The camera takes the hit and shakes with it.

THE INTERCEPT, REBUILT Catch the AI's spark mid-race and it no longer just ticks +4000 — it detonates. Full slow-motion, screen-shaking cinematic. And the AI's entire run is erased: every sink it grounded, gone. It starts again from nothing while you bank the points. Fixed: your score now updates the instant you land the hit.

Haptics upgraded! A small change, but a big difference to how the game feels.

AI RACE, SHARPENED • Proximity call-outs are live in AI Race — every graze now tags itself: GRAZE, TIGHT, CLOSE, DANGER, NEAR DEATH, CORE BREACH. The grid finally tells you how close you came. • Cut the tempo dip on the +75 graze. No more flinch — full speed, all the way through.

THE CHARGE LADDER IS LIVE. Badges no longer measure how far you got. They measure how you got there. Bank your score on every grid you clear and climb the ladder — FLICKER to SINGULARITY — across one unbroken run, campaign or Arena. Play it safe and the ladder stops moving. There's a badge waiting at the very end for players who never once did. Also in this version: • Fixed a rare freeze after certain badge moments • Fixed the screen sliding on iOS when a finger drifts near the bottom edge • Smoothed out drawing — the long-press lens no longer taxes every stroke

PulseWire has a story now, hidden in plain sight. Clear a level, unlock a piece of it — why the spark deviates, what it's fleeing, who's watching back. Browse everything you've earned anytime from the new Story menu with a swipe-through card viewer. Stick around for the ending; it's not what you'd expect.
