Your career level and lifetime XP are unchanged. • The whole app feels more alive: every button and key now gently presses in, springs back, and clicks, so nothing feels flat or silent. • Fixed an important crash: an issue that could close the app during the level-up celebration is resolved. • Snappier, more immediate controls: presses register the instant your finger lands. • Cleaner top bar and world map: rounder shapes, crisper edges, centered headers, and smoother map polish. • A refined app-opening sound, a cleaner quests screen for new players, and several smaller fixes.
