Happy new year, memory masters! We’ve been listening to your feedback about Duo play, Game Center hiccups, and that pesky tab bar. Version 3.3 rolls out today with a handful of updates designed to keep you playing (and winning) with fewer bumps along the way.
Games Room: Always Open, Prime Time Every Hour
The Games Room is now live 24/7. Drop in whenever you like and you’ll see a new Prime Time countdown: the first ten minutes of every hour are the best moment to find an opponent. When the window opens, the sheet flips to “You’re in Prime Time!” with a reminder to leave matchmaking open so other players can jump in.
Duo Play Gets a Fresh Coat of Paint
- The Invite and Games Room buttons now stay the same size—even on smaller iPhones—so the layout looks polished everywhere.
- We reinstated the help text on an empty Duo leaderboard (“Play your first Duo game…”) so you know exactly what to do after dismissing the onboarding alert.
- In Progress, the multiplayer list is now labeled “Duo Plus,” and behind the scenes every leaderboard call uses the new duoPlusLeaderboard identifier. No more mismatches.
Game Center Sign-In Made Clearer
If you’ve ever watched a spinner run forever because the device wasn’t signed in, this one’s for you:
- The Welcome screen now presents two distinct buttons: “Sign in with Game Center” and “Open Game Center Settings.”
- We added explicit guidance for cases where the device isn’t logged into an Apple ID or Game Center is restricted by Screen Time.
- A 10-second watchdog jumps in with a “Try Again” or “Settings” prompt if Game Center doesn’t respond.
Solo Play: Tab Bar Glue
Closing or abandoning a Solo game now clears the grid and unhides the tab bar immediately. We’re firing a new SoloGameAbandoned notification so ContentView refreshes right away—no more tapping around in the dark.
Try It Out
Grab 3.3 from the App Store and jump into the next Prime Time session. If you’re exploring the Duo+ leaderboard for the first time, share how it feels in the comments—or tell us how your Solo Wicked strategies are evolving.
