Online play, the leaderboard and your profile were rebuilt, and a lot of small things that quietly got in the way are gone. NEW - Support inside the app — write to us straight from your profile, no mail app needed. Build number, device and player ID are attached automatically. - Tap any player on the leaderboard to open their card: rank, ELO, league, record and their last games — watch any of them as a replay. - Password recovery opens from the email link straight back into the game. - A one-time hint points you to the ranks screen, so you can see what the next league takes. ONLINE - Ranked search no longer picks up friendly rooms — a ranked match always counts. - Leaving a 4-player room frees your seat instead of holding it. - An open room now waits on the search screen, like every other match. - A third rematch in a row is unranked. - After you resign, the rematch offer no longer appears. - Rating points count up in front of you on the result screen. - 4-player clocks are 1+1, the same as everywhere else in the game. PLAY - Fixed: walls could not be placed in daily puzzles. Puzzles work again — and there are more of them. - The bot checks every move for legality and can no longer play an impossible one. - Tap your own pawn to put a wall back on the panel; undo now sits next to the hint. LOOK AND FEEL - The blue left over from an early build is gone — every screen is in the Wallz palette. - Profile: your place in the top is calculated and shown, recent matches sit in their own block, and big numbers are grouped so 43 360 reads as a number. - Every mode tile has its own icon. - The room list lost a column it did not need and got the right button. - 178 missing lines translated — all languages complete. FIXES - Daily reminders were not reaching players who play often. - Several ways an online match could hang forever. - The match screen lays out by screen height — nothing crowds into the top third on tall devices. - Red always moves second. ### New version 4 — 2026-09-08 The computer finally plays for real: the engine now searches several moves ahead instead of grabbing the nearest sane move. Still fair for beginners, finally interesting for everyone else. Walls - A second way to place a wall: tap the wall, then tap the spot on the board. Dragging works exactly as before. - Dragging is no longer stolen by the page scroll — the wall lands where you lead it. - The wall in your hand is now visible, with a cancel button next to it. - Changed your mind? Tap your own pawn to drop the wall and just move instead. Online - Presence check: if your opponent walks away, the match ends instead of hanging until the clock runs out. - 4-player mode: 30 seconds per turn — nobody stalls the game. - Your rating change now happens in front of you: the number counts up from your old Elo to the new one. Small things that got in the way - The leaderboard no longer breaks on refresh. - The Rate app button is fixed and opens the review form. - A daily reminder to come back to your game. Thanks for the reports — most of this list came from them. ### New version 3 — 2026-09-02 SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE Wallz now runs in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish and Russian, and picks your device language automatically. Prefer another one? Tap the globe in the top bar. DAILY CHALLENGE Three fresh puzzles every day, the same ones for every player, with a new set at 10:00 CET. Find the strongest move — some positions punish the obvious one. A LEADERBOARD WORTH CLIMBING The top 100 now has its own tab, with a podium for the top three and your own position pinned at the bottom: your rank, your percentile, your win streak and how far your rating moved since you last looked. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - Joining an open game from the menu drops you straight onto the board - Choosing red against the computer now really gives it the first move - Replays of resumed online matches play through to the end - Ranked play is tied to your account, so your rating follows you to a new device - The whole interface is set in the game's own typefaces Thanks for playing. Found something broken, or ### New version 2 — 2026-08-27 CROSS-PLATFORM DUELS iOS and Android players now share one arena. Every quick match, every open room and every rated game draws on the full Wallz player base — so an opponent turns up faster, whatever the hour. ONE LADDER FOR EVERYONE Ratings and the global top 100 are now shared across platforms. Your Elo is measured against the whole community, and the players you beat see the same number you do. A SHARPER LOOK Wallz now ships with its own typefaces — Space Grotesk, Inter and Rajdhani — so every screen reads the way it was drawn. Player colors and wall skins are now identical on both platforms, including the ones your opponent brings to the board. Thanks for playing. Spotted something off, or want a mode we haven't built yet?
