Hi coffee friends! We’ve just released a small but helpful update to improve the new Weekly Challenges and fix some pesky bugs.

What’s new in 1.4.0.2:

• Challenge timer now pauses when you pause the game

• You can now restart the challenge directly from the Pause Menu

• Various bug fixes and small improvements

Both challenge improvements were suggested by Morthy—thank you so much for the great ideas!

This update should make your challenge runs a bit smoother—especially if your cat decides to step on your keyboard mid-run 😄

Thanks again for all the support, and feedback. See you on the leaderboard!
