This brings in some major changes to make the game more interesting by improving the UI. The old versions will not work anymore (and you will have to start from stage 0). Sorry about that, but in the new version, you can progress through the stages much-much faster. So it won't really matter unless you were on stage 100.
We have also added Apple and Google login options.
