Hi! We hope you've been enjoying the new tournament boards and format. :) Here's what we've got for you this week:

- A wide variety of bugfixes, minor polish and dictionary improvements.

Happy new year, everyone! We hope you enjoy the first update of 2019:
- Free daily gift! We've added a free item to the store, which changes each day.
- More legendary bears! We now give you legendary bear tokens when you rediscover rare bears in the Golden Time Warp, to make such rediscoveries feel a bit less meh.
- Become a VIP! Subscribe monthly to receive free coins and coffees each week at a steep discount to what they would typically cost, plus get a permanent discount on the cost of tournament replays, to boot! Find it in the store.
- You can now skip cutscenes and narrative moments in the game by tapping anywhere twice during the scene.
- We've further adjusted tournaments to increase the variety of gameplay experiences between each tier of a tourney, and to add more unique maps and/or conditions to tourneys in general.
- LOTS of bugfixes and quality of life improvements

(v1.4.4 has fixes, including an issue where some players were incorrectly asked to update their game)
v1.4 is a major update, featuring all new TOURNAMENTS! (Note: you need to unlock the "Special Event" node to be able to access them.) So what does all this entail?
- The first phase of every tournament starts each Monday at 12:01am EST and runs for 24 hours.
- To qualify for the next phase of the tournament, your score must be high enough to put you in the top 50% of all players. (This percentage will be even smaller in the next phase!)
- If you can manage to reach the fourth and final phase of the tournament, which takes place on Thursday, you'll get major bragging rights as well as a big prize! (In general, each phase of the tournament gives much bigger rewards than the phase that came before it.)
And speaking of rewards, this update includes five new bears - three epic and two legendary - that can ONLY be won by playing in the tournament! The way this works: with each tournament phase that you complete, you'll earn tokens for the five new bears. It takes 100 tokens to unlock the epic bears and 200 tokens to unlock the legendary bears. Play well for several weeks and you'll eventually unlock them all!
The first time you play the tournament, you'll be able to pick a unique username that shows up on a leaderboard. Hopefully you'll be seeing yourself near the top of that leaderboard soon. ;)
We hope you enjoy this major new feature! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at

Minor bugfixes and improvements
01.03.00
2018-10-15
This update includes a bunch of quality-of-life improvements based on your feedback!
- If you lose an event, you'll now get a consolation prize of honey and/or berries!
- The "no ads" (renamed "ultimate") bundle now includes an increase in your maximum honey amount from 100 to 150, and speeds up honey regeneration time by +10%, in addition to its other benefits! If you've already purchased the bundle, you get this retroactively.
- Depressed letter tiles are now darker and deeper to make them easier to distinguish from unchosen letter tiles.
- More reliable warnings when you're not prepared for an event and need to level up your bears more.
- Coins have been changed to a silver color, to reduce the likelihood that people confuse them with honey.
- The requirements for all tiers of a special event are now displayed, even when the tiers are locked, so you can see everything you'll need to finish the event.
- Tea Bear is now correctly tagged as a "drink" type of bear
- Fixed some balance issues that were causing daily events to have unreasonably high score targets for a small number of players
- The final level requirements for epic special events have been slightly reduced
- When checking the "bear requirements" for a special event, bears of yours that already meet the level requirement are marked with a green checkmark
- Other bugfixes
Thank you as always for your helpful feedback and kind words. We are so grateful! :-)

-Special events have arrived! Every Thursday and Friday we'll have special events that you can play to eventually earn unique epic and legendary bears. These events have multiple tiers of difficulty, each with their own requirements. Level up your bears to complete them all!
- This Tuesday, we'll also kick off the new "Honey Pot" special event, which awards coins, cloth and a whole bunch of honey. It'll be back in the future, too. :-)
- We've redesigned the in-game store to make all purchase options easier to find
- Loads more bugfixes, as usual
1.1.0
2018-09-20
- We've added three clocks to Daily Events. Two of the clocks will help you level up a variety of themed bears in your collection, which miiiiight be useful when we unveil Special Events in the near future. ;-)
- The third clock is a funny thing that's stuck in a time loop, and can be repaired an infinite number of times per day! (Those of you who manage to play every daily and school event and STILL have honey left over - this is for you.)
- We fixed a bunch of bugs
- We prepared under-the-covers for the upcoming release of Special Events
Thank you everyone for your kindness and support in these first couple of weeks after worldwide launch! We love you.
- The Spry Fox crew
1.0.1

0.5.3
2018-08-23
* Alphabear 2's UI and narrative has been localized into French, Spanish, German and Russian! (Note that the core game is still about spelling English words and learning English vocabulary.)
* You can now see the score target in most campaign maps
* Many players have complained about the end game sequence feeling too long and/or not liking how it speeds up when you tap anywhere on the screen. So what we've done is remove the speed-up, and instead, enabled you to tap a button to just skip parts of the end game sequence entirely. Mash that button if you want to fly through it quickly.
* TV Time now also awards 5 coins instantly the first time each day that you use it. If you've purchased no-ads, you'll get this bonus automatically each day that you play the game. :-)
* Lots of bugfixes and polish in general.
Thank you everyone for your feedback thus far on this beta version of the game! It has been helpful and appreciated.

- LOTS of bugfixes and polish
