Zip difficulties and a juicier trail
At a glance
- New:
Zip difficulties: Easy (5×5), Medium (6×6), Hard (7×7) and Expert (8×8) practice puzzles, with fewer numbers the harder you go.
- Improved:
Zip feel: A color-shifting trail, a glowing path head, numbers that pop when you reach them, a progress bar and a wave of light when you solve it.
- Fixed:
No more page jump: Finishing a puzzle in Zip, Patches, Tango or Queens no longer scrolls the page to the bottom.
New features
Zip difficulties
Pick Easy, Medium, Hard or Expert above the board in Practice. Bigger boards start with fewer numbers, so you'll lean on walls and logic more. Each difficulty keeps its own best score and leaderboard; Medium keeps your existing records. The Daily puzzle is unchanged.
Improvements
A more satisfying Zip
The trail now shifts from orange to pink as it grows, cells fill with its color, and the end of your path pulses. Reaching a number pops it with a rising chime, a bar below the board fills as you cover cells, and solving sends a wave of light along your path. Animations follow your motion setting. New puzzles also generate faster.
Fixes
Page jumping after a game
Finishing a Zip, Patches, Tango or Queens puzzle used to jump the page down to the result. The page now stays put. The same fix applies to pause and upgrade screens in Gem Chase and Space Blaster.
