- Daily Run Leaderboard Hotfix 1.9.3 - 4 March 2024
The last update broke leaderboard creation for Daily Runs, which caused them to appear empty for everyone.

Your runs from the last few days should appear on the leaderboards as usual. If you don't see them immediately, just wait for a while, go back to the main menu and re-open the Daily Run section. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks a lot for the continued interest in Daily Runs everyone!
- Improved Liberation mode and final polish round incoming! - 28 February 2024
Hey everyone! We gathered the team one more time and fine-tuned all the minor aspects we were itching to make better. We also added one major feature for Liberation Mode.

Can you escape the new bird of prey that hunts Lilac? Stay alert: The hawk-eagle now appears during Liberation mode and can kill our gibbons!

We also added some new levels, where you can slide through more industrial areas in plantation and carefully traverse an intimidating burning landfill in town. So much polish to sweeten up this update: Shinier than ever Coolest addition: Humans…
