Release overview

1.0.5 brings the purchase: World 1 is free, and one Full Game purchase unlocks Worlds 2 to 6 and the ending for good. It is the first signed store build with the purchase in it. The Android build went to Google Play internal testing; it is not in app stores. There are no new screenshots for this version, so the offer screen is not pictured here.

What changed

World 1 is free: all four levels of Shorts Valley, the Autoplay mini-boss included, to play and replay as often as you like.
Full Game: one permanent purchase unlocks Worlds 2 to 6 and the ending. No ads, no subscriptions and no in-game currency.
After you finish World 1, a calm offer appears at the start of World 2. It shows the store’s local price, what is included, Restore purchases and the privacy and terms links. It never appears after a failed attempt.
Settings on the title screen has a new Restore purchases row, to get a purchase back with the same store account.
Start over keeps the purchase.
Purchases go through the App Store and Google Play. The store build number is 1000500 on both stores.

Gameplay screenshots

Concept lineup on magenta: a squat green Troll lobbing angry comment bubbles from a mossy ledge, a feed-card centipede Doomscroller clinging under a platform, a Clickbait coin beside its sprung bear-trap form, an eyeball Recommender drone in a thumbnail frame, and a padlocked, chained comment-thread barrier guarded by two moderator robots. — Concept artThe 1.0 roster — concept art, not in-game sprites. Troll, Doomscroller, Clickbait, Recommender and the Locked Thread gate; the game has its own pixel sprites.

Known issues

Not in app stores; a store build in testing.
After you choose Not now on the offer, the only way back to it is to finish World 1 again (fixed in 1.0.6).
In Low Battery the W6-2 escape still shows no battery readout (open).
On small desktop or browser windows under 384 px of game height, Settings is hidden on the title screen (not on phones or tablets).
Human playtest sign-off and performance on a mid-range reference phone are still open.
