    It's indeed a bit silly that you must log in to play, so we added Guest mode, so you can play without a social media account

- Error 500 and other server errors fixed
    We got some new beefy servers, the annoying server related error alerts are fixed and now everything should be butter smooth

- Fixed "No connection" error message on Cellular
    It was a rookie mistake when you were on cellular, a "No connection" alert appeared. Of course, its now fixed and removed

- Fixed other potential crashes
- Improved performance
