What’s new

• Your ghost now stands on every leaderboard — hat, halo and colours — instead of a profile photo.
• Countdown shows you the shortest path, and lets you replay the exact same grid to beat it.
• Shared solve cards carry more of you: your aura, your scene, your mastery rank, and a star for a new best.
• Exploring a dead end in a maze no longer costs your Perfect, hints now translate, and first-run screens feel warmer.
