What’s new
Version 0.1.8 · Updated September 30, 2026
**Gradient tile colors** Tile colors are no longer limited to a single flat shade. New colors can blend smoothly across the tile face, and the swatch in the Styles tab shows the same gradient you'll see on the board, so what you pick is what you get. Every color you already own looks exactly the same as before. **Sneak peeks for holiday styles** New holiday tile styles can now show up in the Styles tab ahead of time, locked, with the date they open ("Unlocks Oct 17"). No more guessing what's coming or missing a drop. When the day arrives, watch videos to unlock them while the holiday is here, or pick them up with Tails afterward. **Second chances for past holidays** Missed a holiday style the first time around? After its debut year, a style can come back with both unlock options offered at once — watch a few videos or spend Tails, whichever you prefer, any time of year. Older holiday styles can eventually become free for everyone. **Clearer holiday sections** Each holiday section on the Styles tab now tells you what's happening right now: how many videos unlock a style during the holiday, when upcoming styles open, what past years' styles cost, or the Tails price outside the holiday.
