    At least they fixed the sound.


    sound of what?


    There was a bug from the Game of Games The Sequel event with the sfx and music on certain devices in which when scrolling around on the game or if you tapping something then the sfx and music would cut out. There was another bug which caused the game to freeze if you try to take a screenshot or a notification appears. Both of these seemed to have been fixed with this update.

    On yours maybe. Mine's as noisy as it ever was.

    On a different note, remember when the list of changes was a LOT longer than three items? Depressing...
  • Certainly feels like the item limit won't increase anymore. Large events and no increase equals a lot of redesigning, so that's something to do at least..
  • What triggers the event? I've searched the app store for an update, and have launched the app multiple times. No luck.
