What's New in CRITICSCALE
1.4.0
September 11, 2026
HOTWAX — a new daily game. A 31-hex board of genres, countries, eras and awards. Name one artist and claim every hex they fit. Chains score more than singles, so the right name can light up half the board. Archives for HOTWAX and FLIPTRACK. Every daily game now has an archive — browse past days on a calendar and replay any of them. BEATBLITZ got much bigger. The prompt pool grew from 108 to 907, with over 30,000 accepted answers pulled from real artist catalogues. VINYLCRACK counts properly now. The letters counter was stuck on the same number all game; it counts down as you reveal the name and shows your lives beside it. FAKEVINYL is actually solvable. Some rounds showed a fake identical to the real cover. Every cover is now checked to make sure the difference is visible before it can appear. Vinny has more to say. He no longer repeats himself in the same run, shows up on time in BANDGRID, and stays out of the way of the keyboard.
