QUALITY OF LIFE: • Wild encounter spawn rate slowed from 4-6 min to 6-10 min. Free-tier recovery slots were filling in 11 minutes — now more spread out. • Bond candy step tracker no longer nags with "next in ### steps" after you've claimed the day's candy — shows "Claimed today " instead. • Login screen polished: GYMBIOTE title centered + real loading spinner on the Sign In button. • Trainer XP toast at end of workout no longer shows raw floating-point numbers (was showing "+208.53801199999995 XP") — clean integer now. ### 1.03 — 2026-07-16 New Features Saved Team Comps — three named team loadouts on the Team tab for one-tap swaps. Tap to load, long-press to manage. Includes live preview with Type badges, inline rename, Load & Edit, Overwrite, Clear Slot, and graceful handling of traded/released members. Unlocks with a Dr Chen story beat at your 3rd gym badge. Wild bond down-scales to trainer level — Bonded wilds now join your team at your trainer level (recomputed stats + moves), no matter how strong they were in the wild. Dr Chen callout on first bond explains the lore. Universal battle intro tear — Every battle now opens with the frequency-tear intro, tinted by battle type (species-rarity for wilds, gym color for gym battles, red for Tether, green for trainer battles). Battle music picker (public) — Consolidated to a single In-App / External choice under Settings. In-App plays bundled tracks and pauses your Spotify/Podcast; External keeps your audio running with SFX only. Improvements UI Sounds + Battle SFX slider split — Independent volume for menu chimes vs battle move sounds. Battle animation pass — Fixes for ~110 move VFX across every element: sprite direction on enemy-cast attacks, sheet rotations that were misaligned, impacts landing below target center, and buff/debuff auras being blocked by sprite layering. Includes Phantom Shroud re-anchor onto the target, Fae Enchant/Hopeful Spirit rendering above the target sprite, and correct behavior for Monsoon, Sleep Wave, Fae Drain, and all-out multi-hit moves. Android polish — Extra tab-bar padding, brighter default borders, darker charcoal card backgrounds tuned for AMOLED. Watcher label chip now fits inside its bubble. Elemental type glows — Per-type saturated glow colors behind gymbiote sprites; every element reads distinctly on cards. Fixes Scanner radar beep no longer bleeds into other screens when leaving the scanner dashboard. External music (Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts) now reliably resumes after a battle ends. Watcher agent chip label overflow on Android. ### 1.02 — 2026-07-14 The biggest audio-visual pass yet. Every gymbiote move has new VFX. Battle music arrives (9 tracks) with modes so your Spotify still plays if you want. HP bar audio stretches to match every drop. 400+ move SFX locked in. Save 3 named team lineups for one-tap swaps. Stabilization Hub ad-loading is faster. Fixed a rare Android crash when granting notifications. App got 75 MB smaller. ### 1.01 — 2026-07-06 Build 17 — SFX + VFX overhaul • Every Void-element move now has its own unique VFX (previously 4 moves shared 1 sprite sheet) • Damage impact SFX rebuilt with fire-tinged tones per effectiveness tier • Move animation timing fixed: impact SFX no longer fires while the VFX sprite is still animating • New Anim SFX audition panel in the DevHub for the internal design team • Melody-recorder tool for humming reference melodies into future SFX iterations • Learn-move UI now shows the new move above your current moves for easy comparison • Various stability improvements ### 1.0 — 2026-06-18 No release notes. ## More apps by The Gymbiote Company Inc. - [Space Sprinter: Endless Runner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/space-sprinter-endless-runner/id1568883045) All apps by The Gymbiote Company Inc.: https://appshunter.io/developer/1568883047 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
