Release overview

0.9.0 is the integration build on the way to 1.0, bringing every designed world, enemy, item and setting into one source for the first time. All 18 levels, the bosses and the ending are built in the current development source; the latest device build (0.9.0-int3) plays Shorts Valley plus the first levels of Worlds 2–5 as previews. Version 1.0 — the full connected campaign with enemies throughout — is in progress.

What changed

Development source: all 18 levels across six worlds, with FYP Core ending in the rescue of Pim and the horizontal escape to real grass, followed by credits and the all-photos epilogue (built and bot-completed in the editor; not yet on a device). On the 0.9.0-int3 device build, Shorts Valley W1-1 to W1-4 is the campaign and W2-1, W2-2, W3-1, W3-2, W4-1 and W5-1 are development previews.
New enemies: Hook, Rage-bait in three tiers, Slop, Notification variants and two Influencer bosses with followers.
New items and helpers: Charger, Airplane Mode, Mute and Block; optional Old Accounts encounters with notes in Pause.
New traversal: sinking replies, mirrors and glitch pads, alongside wall slide/jump, Sponsored pads and the Dark Mode phone glow.
Production terrain and parallax art for Worlds 2–5 replaces the flat preview walls (in progress across all levels).
English and Svenska, remappable controls for keys, gamepad and touch (buttons or stick), screen shake and reduced flash, and assists for infinite battery and slower scrolling (100/75/50 %).
Music for every world.

Fixes

Pause menu overlap, menu label centring and the Controls screen opening on the touch tab, found in the first integration test on the tablet.

Known issues

This is an integration build, not 1.0: the campaign is not yet connected end to end (W1-4 still returns to Title), enemies are still being added to Worlds 2–5, and world art, power-up placement and difficulty tuning are still being finished. The int3 APK predates the latest test fixes (see Validation).
The screenshots here cover the title and Comment Swamp only. Device captures of the later worlds, enemies, menus and the ending will be added.
The title capture is from the first integration build and still shows the Language button placement and Å glyph that were fixed later.
Full performance measurements and human playtest acceptance on phone and tablet remain open. PC and WebGL builds are not part of this release.
