For existing players: Once the game has updated, as long as you have completed Level 1 (June 8th), but have not yet completed Level 6 (June 20th), you'll find a new option (in red text) on the calandar (on June 21st), offering the choice to skip ahead. Selecting it will start a special Skip Ahead Level. Upon completion, you'll be able to continue the story at Level 7 (June 23rd). From that point on, the game steadily gets faster and more challenging with stronger tools, new vehicles, and more powerul ninja.
The skip ahead level contains all story scenes, new mechanics, and achivements from Levels 2 - 6, so there's no need to worry about missing out on anything. Plus, completing the Skip Ahead Level unlocks Levels 2 - 6 for replay, so you can always go back to them if you'd like.
If you'd rather play the early tutorial levels at the original slow pace, you're free to ignore the Skip Ahead level and advance throgh the story normally.
We hope you enjoy this new feature!
Fasting Pacing Option in Development
In response to players who find the first few levels to be too slow, we're working on an new feature that will allow skilled players to skip past the early tutorial stages and get right into the action. More casual players will still be able to experience the game at a slower and simpler pace if desired.
We have to have the patch done soon. Keep an eye out for further announcements.
