WHAT'S NEW
Changelog
v0.6.0June 28, 2026
The Adventure Loop
- Lodge-first briefings: each level starts blank — find the Ranger's Lodge and open the map on the wall to receive that day's targets
- Hidden Tracker Map pickup: a rolled parchment map spawns somewhere on the level after your briefing; collect it to light up remaining targets as red paw prints
- Tracker paws now respect time of day — nocturnal species don't appear on the minimap during full daylight, and vice versa, with dawn & dusk overlapping
- Lodges are guaranteed reachable: a road is now carved to every Lodge if the worldgen doesn't already pass one
- The Lodge briefing card is now a full-size overlay instead of being crammed into the Lodge interior
v0.5.0June 21, 2026
Workshops & the road to 50
- 10 new bonus levels (41–50) — themed runs for big cats, raptors, dogs, small nocturnal animals, and an everything-included finale
- Workshops added on levels 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 — walk up to the parked vehicle to unlock it permanently in the Garage
- New vehicles: Game Viewer Defender (open-top, tall) and the Willy's Jeep (fastest across every terrain)
- Vehicles are no longer unlocked with stars — every special ride lives behind a Workshop instead
- Garage hides vehicles you haven't found yet so each workshop is a surprise
- Landscape mobile layout: a Game Boy-style joystick / buttons split when you turn your phone sideways
- Target list is now collapsible to free up viewport on busy levels
v0.4.0June 18, 2026
Big Wing & Small Mammals

- Finale celebration screen after Level 50
