• Patch 1.0.2 — Progress restored, and an apology - 19 July 2026

  Hi everyone,First, I'm sorry that some of you lost progress or were sent back to Level 1.What 1.0.2 does:Your progress is restored automatically. When you launch the game, it recovers your save — and if more than one save exists, it keeps the one with the most progress. Nothing is ever deleted.A token of apology 🍎 — affected players receive a limited-edition Apple Hat, granted automatically the next time you load the game, alongside your restored progress. It won't appear in any shop.Thank you for your patience, and for sticking with the drift.— GOGOIO Games
