## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.42 — 2026-10-05

• A lighter, airier board: every cell is its own glass tile with a little space around it.
• Crystals in the queue are the size they are on the board, so they keep their size as you drag them down.
• Smaller, calmer turn buttons beside the queue.
• A new look for the mystery crystal.
• Fix: long level names pushed the moves counter off screen.

### 1.0.41 — 2026-10-05

• New square boards in every world – the board keeps its size when you turn it.
• Every level rebuilt and retuned, with fairer move counts.
• Crystals fall smoothly with gravity, when you drop them and when the board turns.
• A new frosted-glass look for panels and buttons.
• Settings: turn off anonymous play statistics, and one link to all our games.
• Fix: the menu no longer pushes the star bar down.

### 1.0.40 — 2026-09-28

• One-tap power-ups: the explanation shows only the first time, and Line picks row or column right in the bar at the top.
• A level now ends by itself when only the score is left - the moves you have left become points.
• Obstacle goals now mean clearing every obstacle, with fairer move counts.
• The music keeps playing when a power-up card opens.
• The board no longer runs under the buttons on phones with a navigation bar.

### 1.0.39 — 2026-09-26

• Power-ups now charge from the points you score in each level - help is earned in the level you are playing.
• Power-ups sit under the board with bigger, named buttons; the first tap explains each one.
• New "All alike": tap it, then a crystal - every crystal like it disappears.
• Bigger text and a board that fills the screen, also when it turns.
• Fix: starting a level no longer places a crystal by accident.

### 1.0.37 — 2026-09-25

• Five new first levels, one idea each - your very first move makes a crystal chain.
• Bigger board and a clearer top bar: moves, goals and stars at a glance.
• Timers only on Rush levels (every 5th from level 25), and the clock stops while crystals merge.
• Starred crystals clear their row when merged again.
• Power-ups cost coins, not score, are kept between levels and can be bought from the board.
• Difficulty retuned in every world.
