Deep Clean Update Now Live!
Hey everyone!
We bring you news from the back of the pantry; we've uncovered some new food-themed puzzles for you to feast upon. These three new Snack Pack levels come as part of the Deep Clean update which is now live! The update also adds three new puzzle types into the Daily Tidy mode, the fan-requested Archive mode as well as a number of improvements and bug fixes.
The Archive mode grants all players permanent access to previous limited-time seasonal puzzles, including the Good Tidying pack from December 2022 and the Something Eggstra pack from April 2023. All future seasonal puzzles will also be added into the Archive.
Finally, the Deep Clean update brushes away rogue clumps of coding cobwebs and design dust bunnies for an even smoother overall tidying experience. You will find the patch notes for this update hidden below.
