Release overview

1.0.0 is the complete TOUCH GRASS: 18 reworked levels in six worlds, enemies in every level, the new roster with Locked Thread gates, four mini-bosses, two Influencer encounters, all items, Swedish and English, and the full ending. It is a development build on the owner’s test devices; it is not released to app stores.

What changed

Every level reworked so none can be climbed straight up, with enemies in every level and a difficulty that rises through each world.
The stricter wall jump: one wall jump per time in the air; a wall jump into a dash, including a dash upward, is allowed.
New enemies: Troll, Doomscroller, Clickbait and the Recommender drone, plus Locked Thread gates that open when you defeat their moderators.
Four mini-bosses behind Locked Threads, each with an arena where the scroll holds: Autoplay (W1-4), Reply Guy (W2-3), Copycat (W4-3) and Night Owl (W5-2).
Mute (W4-2) and Block (W4-3) are usable; Airplane Mode, Chargers and Old Accounts in the World 2 to 5 finales.
Compact Mute and Block buttons on phones, stacked beside jump.
A Settings entry on the title screen; the game starts in the phone’s language (Swedish, otherwise English).
The full campaign through the rescue, the escape outside, credits and the photo epilogue, with the W6-2 escape able to continue in portrait.

Fixes

Since 0.9.5: the missing Swedish end card, the results card, the title language button (replaced by Settings), Block now fails safe instead of holding the player, and the W3-3 Influencer uses its final art.
