  What's new in the version 2.13

  Updated on Sep 11, 2026

  Bug Fixed: after updating to v2.12, the menu could offer to resume a game you had never played — and tapping it just started a new one.
  
  Your real saved games are unaffected. A game you actually played still resumes exactly as before.
