Development notes

Every paw print forward.

Real progress from the iOS and Android builds, translated from the workbench into release notes you can actually read.

Android

More dependable device testing

A new emulator test harness makes it easier to catch Android regressions before a build reaches players.

  • Added repeatable instrumentation coverage for real app flows.
  • Improved the foundation for testing more Android screen sizes and system versions.
iOS

The cat room found its personality

The home, shop, customization, settings, leaderboard, and game-over surfaces now share a warmer, handmade visual system.

  • Refreshed the cat room and creator shop around a paper-and-ink style.
  • Polished gameplay, pause, registration, and leaderboard presentation.
  • Advanced the internal iOS build to 13.
Android

Leaderboards behave better offline

Score and rival requests now fail gracefully when the network disappears mid-climb.

  • Added explicit network access support.
  • Covered offline leaderboard behavior with a regression test.
Android

A smoother path onto the live leaderboard

Registration and score submission now stay in sync when a new Android player joins from the end of a run.

  • Fixed the live leaderboard registration handoff.
  • Added focused coverage for player identity and game-session behavior.
Android

The big iOS-to-Android feel pass

Dozens of small visual, motion, control, and performance details were aligned so the climb feels at home on either platform.

  • Matched tilt direction, arrow controls, haptics, reduced motion, and pause behavior.
  • Aligned the cat room, shop, customization, leaderboard, and game-over presentation.
  • Reduced avoidable gameplay drawing work for steadier rendering.
iOS

Rigby's hats fit the moment

Frog, strawberry, and sun accessories were rebuilt and checked across customization, the cat room, and gameplay.

  • Corrected accessory sizing and placement in previews.
  • Refreshed the visual proof for Cool Rigby's looks.
  • Advanced the internal iOS build to 12.
