MAIN CHANGES
This update replaces the “Ultimate Omelette” episode with the full “Revenge of the Yolk” episode in CIU, directly playable from your Profile screen. This is a temporary and experimental feature, so enjoy it while you can, and report bugs here.
Also, Christmas content has been added to mobile versions of the game. It will be automatically activated about 3 weeks before Christmas, or you can manually enable it now through Options → Seasonal Content.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Note that your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (put it in your forum profile where it says “name” so I can find it).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any mid-mission progress
- your language selection
- your seasonal content setting
