## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.2 — 2026-10-22

- Ads are now fairer: if an ad fails on our side and you couldn't finish it, you still get the reward.
- The ad consent screen for players in the EU/UK now appears correctly on iPhone. You can change your choice later under "Ad consent" in Settings.
- The "Emperor of the Deep" badge now covers all five underground realms (in the main game, clear the R35 underground). Badges you already earned are kept.
- Fixed some descriptions and English text.

### 1.9.1 — 2026-10-03

- The ad before a retry now comes with a bonus: watch it to the end and start your next run with 2,000 yen in funds. You can also skip it.
- Our studio is now "Veriquest Works". The startup logo, in-app credits and links have been updated.
- Shared results now link to the new game page.

### 1.9 — 2026-08-26

New

- "Keen Eye", a new high-end item. Use it and the world slows to a quarter speed for three seconds - save it for a tricky jump, or for when enemies close in. Each level adds one more use per run.
- A new Combo category in the ranking.
- You can now register a name. Once registered, your score is saved without typing it in each time. Registering is entirely optional.
- The controller guide is now its own illustrated page (Settings > Controller).

Changes

- In boss fights the camera no longer rises so far that the boss's feet leave the screen.
- Reordering items with a controller could show the same message twice.

### 1.8.1 — 2026-08-25

Fixes

- With a controller connected, the login bonus shown right after launch could not be claimed, and input reached the screen behind the dialog.
- Dropping through a platform and then bouncing off an enemy could leave you unable to land on any platform.
- "Watch ad" could leave you waiting with no response. It now falls back immediately and shows a loading indicator.
- The shop list skipped "Egg Exchange" and jumped straight to "Back".

Changes

- Tuned late-game gap widths and enemy counts for top players.
- The camera now follows you upward on the surface too, so it is easier to see above high platforms.
- Reorder your items with a controller (hold X to grab, then L/R to swap).

### 1.8 — 2026-08-22

* Play with a controller
A connected gamepad now takes you all the way through. Move and jump, use an item (Square), unleash the special move "Piyo Flash" (Triangle), switch items (L1 / R1), and navigate menus and shops - all from the pad. The full layout is in Settings > Controller.

* A fifth underground stage: "The Blazing Stairway"
A new depth that splits into three routes. Take the beams above, cross the sea of lava on moving platforms in the middle, or fight through the crowded kiln floor below. The route you pick changes the challenge.

* Underground Mode now has 5 stages
The new stage joins the time-trial Underground Mode as well.

Plus small refinements, including sound effects for cursor movement.
