Original release notes

Welcome to the Hotel Rubber Ducks! We hope you'll enjoy your stay. :)

Changes:

POINTS
• Every duck is worth 10x more, and chaining merges in one turn pays a combo on top. Leaderboards are on the new scale, and your best came with you.

NEW MODES
• Five-Minute Sprint — best score before the clock runs out.
• Clean Hands — no power-ups, no continues, no combos or streaks.

MULTIPLAYER
• Duel a friend live for five minutes. Add friends by code, see who's online, and peek at their tub mid-match.
