What's New in Dots&Sticks

1.1

October 1, 2026

1. Never wait for an opponent — Quick Match now pairs you with a friendly AI player if no one's around, so you can always jump into a game. 2. More reliable online play — fixed an issue where online rooms could get stuck or drop the connection; reconnects are now much smoother. 3. Cleaner Online Play screen — Create and Join are now separate tabs, so setting up a room or joining one is more straightforward. 4. Resume where you left off — leaving mid-game to the Home screen now lets you jump right back in (local, vs. AI, or online), or tap Leave Game to start fresh instead. 5. Bug fix — background music now properly pauses when you switch away from the app.
