Original release notes

Flag! 3.0 is our biggest update yet — rounds you can learn, blizzards to brave, and a rebuilt lake that's faster, smoother and fits every screen.

NEW WAYS TO PLAY
• Every round has its own layout and rhythm: the flags sit in the same spots and rise in the same order each time you play it, so you can learn it and plan ahead
• Tap ahead: line up to three flags while Max is running — numbered so you know his route, but their timers keep ticking
• Triple flags in the late rounds
• Snowstorms now hide the flags and grow into real blizzards in the late rounds — hot chocolate lets you see through them
• Wind gusts and sunny spells tell you when they slow Max down

FASTER, SMOOTHER MAX
• Max reacts the instant you touch a flag — no more waiting for your finger to lift
• No more standing around: you watch Max reset the flag, and he heads straight for your next one
• Smoother running on every device, including 120Hz ProMotion screens

MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN
• Fits every iPhone, from the smallest to the Pro Max — no more cut-off buttons
• Buttons and scores stay clear of the notch, Dynamic Island and home bar
• A true full-size iPad layout with more sky and ice to enjoy
• The same challenge on every device — distances and speeds now match

PAUSE THAT REALLY PAUSES
• Pausing freezes everything exactly where it was — Max, flags and snowstorms all pick up where you left off
• Snowstorms can no longer be skipped by pausing

FIXES
• Time Extension now gives your next 5 flags +2 seconds (it previously had no effect)
• Remove Ads is remembered from the moment the game opens — no more ad or tracking prompts for supporters
• "Go Ad Free" now shows the price in your local currency
• Daily streaks count correctly when the game stays open overnight
• The streak screen shows the lives you'll actually start with
• High scores are saved even if you quit a run from the pause menu
• Lifetime stats no longer double-count after Try Again
• Plus many smaller fixes and polish

Thanks for playing — see you on the ice!
