Release overview

1.0.1 fixes what the owner found in the first full 1.0 playtest and adds two new things: an intro card for every mini-boss and Feed Files, a book of every enemy you have met. Reply Guy also has a new face. It is a development build on our test devices (an Android tablet, a Galaxy S25 and an iPhone); it is not in app stores.

What changed

Mini-boss intro cards: when you enter the arena of Autoplay, Reply Guy, Copycat or Night Owl, a card names the boss as the master of its level, the one holding the Locked Thread shut. It is only a picture; the fight is unchanged.
Feed Files: a book of the enemies you have met and the mini-bosses you have beaten, opened from the title screen or the Pause menu. Enemies you have not met yet show as silhouettes.
Reply Guy has a redesigned face, in the level and on his card.
W2-2 has an early enemy, and W5-1 is longer (six screens) with enemies throughout and the right World 5 music.
Recommender drones commit to the chase once they spot you and drift gently when idle. The W5-3 Influencer escalates with every hit: hops, more followers and shorter windows.
Old Accounts were given a “…” bubble, a hint line and a “Note saved” toast. In 1.0.1 these did not show on devices; 1.0.2 fixes that.
Title screen: DEV PREVIEWS at the bottom, Settings at the top right.

Fixes

Hooks are visible again in W2-3 and W5-3; they were hidden behind the background.
Night Owl no longer shows double eyes, and Nova’s reflection now appears in the W3-1 and W3-2 mirrors.
Airplane Mode: enemies freeze but still hurt on contact, and the card no longer breaks the W5-3 fight.
Enemies no longer get stuck after you die and restart (W5-3).
W6-1: the rescue works anywhere on Pim’s shelf, skipping one of FYP’s offers no longer locks you in, the level’s walls are sealed, and a safety net puts you back if you ever leave a level.

Known issues

Not released to app stores; a development build on our test devices only.
Old Accounts said nothing on devices (fixed in 1.0.2).
A boss intro card could be dismissed by accident while playing (fixed in 1.0.2).
After the W6-1 rescue, the picture of the hands meeting could hang off the shelf (fix in testing for 1.0.3).
Human playtest sign-off and performance on a mid-range reference phone are still open.
