August 17, 2026
NEW WAYS TO PLAY • Daily Cullzle — one shared challenge board every day at culls.com/daily. Same setup for everyone, no sign-in needed. Track your streak and share your result. • Four bots to choose from — Chip, Cedar, Slate, and Crimson, from friendly beginner to a bot that genuinely thinks ahead. Pick your challenge when you start a bot game. • Instant Replay — rewatch any finished game move by move, with a scrubber and autoplay. Share a finished game with anyone; they don't need an account to watch. FAIRER, SMOOTHER MATCHES • Quick Match is a real queue now: two players searching get paired instantly. If nobody shows within a minute you get a shareable open game instead. • Unjoined quick-match games expire after 48 hours, and you can cancel any waiting game yourself. • Fixed: winning while trapping your opponent no longer forces you to finish a cull first — a winning move wins, immediately. • Fixed: leaving a pass-and-play game mid-match no longer loses it. It saves automatically and offers Resume Pass & Play. YOUR NAME, YOUR STATS • Choose your display name in Settings — no more being "player_4zr2…" to your opponent. Your name shows on game seats, brackets, and notifications. • Rankings are live — a new Rankings screen on iOS, plus the leaderboard on the site. The culls board counts PvP culls only, so there's no farming the bot. • Stats: wins/losses, win rate, streaks, your record vs humans and vs the bot, and your tournament history. LOOK & FEEL • The board got bigger — every space is about 11% larger on the same screen, and the CULLS letters on the board are red now. • Winning feels like winning: a full-screen banner, a bigger confetti blast, a victory fanfare, and stronger haptics. There's a Sound toggle in Settings, and the fanfare respects your silent switch. • A refreshed home screen with a bigger CULLS mark, a proper My Games button, and touches of red.
