Thank you for an awesome launch week. Some new issues were brought to our attention and was sorted with a few hotfixes.
Currently we are hard at work bringing you the final Ice Mountain, as well as optimizing both performance and online play.
We've also went ahead and unlocked all levels for world 3. Even though most of them are still very much work in progress, they should still prove to be a fun challenge while we continue to polish and tweak them.
