Last Login's runner now moves like he has weight — he leans into every lane change and settles back out of it — and a new Feel & Controls screen lets you tune how the controls respond.
- Changing lanes is no longer an instant slide sideways. The runner accelerates across, banks into the turn, and rocks back onto the lane, with his hips, arms and cloak trailing behind him. He is exactly as quick to clear an obstacle as before — nothing got harder.
- The gamepad stick reads properly now. A thumb pushed diagonally used to change lane AND slide from one push, and a stick resting near the threshold could fire lane changes you never asked for. Both are gone.
- Hold a direction and you keep stepping outward to the edge lane, on a controller, the keyboard or a phone.
- Jumps, slides, dashes and stumbles all have real weight: he stretches off the ground, compresses on landing, tucks at the top of a jump, reaches for the floor on the way down, and staggers when something clips him.
- A new Feel & Controls screen in Options — also on the pause menu, so you can compare two settings without restarting — lets you set lane movement, lane speed, body sway, camera follow, stick deadzone, hold-to-steer, input forgiveness and screen shake. Everything is saved.
- Small forgiveness added by default: a jump pressed just before you land still happens, a jump pressed just after the ground runs out still saves you, and a second lane press queues instead of skipping a lane.

The wave of debris that was only ever visible on the title screen now chases you through the run, and it brought two layers of wreckage with it.
- Fixed the wave effect vanishing the moment you started playing — it was being culled off screen despite being right behind you.
- The wave is two layers now: hundreds of sparks that heat and swell as it closes on you, and tumbling shards of torn geometry.
- Feedback throughout — the screen shakes and rolls under impact, relics burst when collected with an expanding ghost, you kick dust on landing, dashing draws a cone and cloaking leaves afterimages.
- How close the wave actually is now drives the picture: the wave's own surface distorts, the colour drains away, scanlines thicken and the edges of the screen go red.
- Relics, vents, gold caps and the buckle glow, hidden together with their emitters as the world decays.
- Fixed collected relics and fallen planks coming back as grey ghosts.
- Obstacle colours, the chunk lifecycle and the run's random seed stream are untouched, so seeds still play the same.

Last Login is now playable on a phone — screen-half steering, thumb buttons for jump, slide and dash, and a menu that fits a handset.
- Play on a phone: hold it sideways and tap the left or right half of the screen to change lane.
- Jump, slide and dash now have their own thumb buttons in the corner, plus a pause button.
- On-screen control hints switch automatically between keyboard, gamepad and touch.
- The menus, best-run and results screens were rebuilt to fit a phone screen — nothing is cut off any more.

Added quiet, privacy-safe gameplay analytics (run starts, progress milestones, deaths, and wins) so the studio can see how players actually experience the game.
- The studio can now see how far runs actually get — which zones players reach, whether the shutdown wave or a fall ends the run, and how many make it to the end.

Daily challenge mode, shareable world seeds and zone-specific hazards give the last three minutes of EVERWARD a reason to be relived — and bridges got their fair difficulty back.
- New DAILY LOGIN mode: everyone who logs in today runs the same dying world, with its own daily best score
- Every run now has a world seed shown on the results screen — share it and a friend can race the exact same world
- Each zone fights back its own way now: boulders roll down your lane in Sunmeadow, runaway market carts sweep the streets of Lastport, and flame vents erupt on a rhythm in the Crownring
- Hazards knock you into a stumble rather than killing you outright, so surprises cost speed, not the run
- Your Best Run screen now remembers your last eight logins, with a star on the runs where you saw the end
- Bridges are back to their intended difficulty: the fix that removed impossible bridges had quietly made them easier — missing-plank bridges are as common as they were meant to be, and impossible ones stay gone

Fixed a physics bug where getting hit mid-jump could steal a landing you'd already earned, and made mid-air sliding safe.
- A stumble that hits you while you're mid-jump no longer yanks your speed down instantly and drops you into a gap you'd already cleared — the penalty still applies, but only once you're back on the ground.
- Sliding in mid-air used to plunge you straight down with no warning, sometimes killing you instantly over a gap. Slide now only works on the ground, where it's always worked.
- Getting hit while running on solid ground still slows you down exactly the same as before — nothing changed there.

Fixed a keyboard bug where Escape opened the pause menu but couldn't close it, plus a missing site icon.
- Pressing Escape now closes the pause menu again, not just opens it — keyboard players can toggle pause on and off with one key, matching how the gamepad already worked.
- Removed a harmless but noisy missing-icon error by giving the game a proper browser-tab icon.
- No changes to gameplay, visuals, or controls otherwise — this was purely a bug fix.

The world now changes with the sky — zone geometry no longer lags the zone change, and bridges are always crossable.
- Entering a new zone finally looks right: the ground, buildings and trees change at the exact moment the sky, the light and the NOW ENTERING banner do. You used to run across Sunmeadow grass and pines under Lastport dusk sky for a good fifteen seconds.
- The zone boundary is now a real place in the world you cross, rather than a moment on the clock, so the seam reads as a border instead of a glitch.
- Collapsing bridges always have at least one crossable lane. A small share of bridges used to spawn with no planks at all in any lane — a sixteen-metre hole that no jump could clear and no lane change could avoid. Those runs were lost through no fault of yours.
- Dying or winning right on a zone boundary no longer freezes the sky halfway through its colour change during the cinematic.

A full art pass — EVERWARD is hand-painted now, you are a real character, and the cape has stopped flapping across your chest. Plus a big frame-rate win and an intro-skip fix.
- Every surface in EVERWARD is now hand-painted: meadow grass and rutted dirt roads, Lastport cobbles, timber-framed houses and terracotta roofs, the Crownring runic marble and flagstone — and a painted sky over each zone that shifts as the world dies.
- The deletion wave now has something worth taking. Watching a rich, textured world drain to flat grey, then wireframe, then nothing, hits far harder than it did.
- Your character is a real person now: a face, hair, a laced tunic and bracers, boots, a proper bent-knee run cycle, and a shadow on the ground beneath you.
- Fixed the cape. It was hanging in front of the chest and wobbling; it now sits on your back and streams out behind you when you run and dash.
- The wall of deletion reads as a curtain of glitching light instead of a flat white sheet.
- Skipping the opening cinematic with Escape now drops you straight into a running game, instead of landing you in the pause menu with the run already frozen.
- Big performance win: the game was drawing a full-screen sky layer every single frame that is only needed for the few seconds when a zone changes. Culling it cuts roughly a quarter off the time each frame takes to draw, so the run is noticeably smoother on modest machines.
- Controller play re-verified end to end: holding a button on the menu no longer risks skipping the intro, Start skips a cinematic, Start pauses, B backs out.

Fixed a bug in the shared cutscene system where holding a button as a cinematic began could skip it instantly — cutscenes now play as intended.
- Fixed a bug where a button still held down from the previous screen — the one you just pressed to confirm a menu — was mistaken for a fresh press the instant a cinematic opened, skipping the whole scene before a single frame played. Intros and endings now start properly.
- The problem depended on how long you held the button: a quick tap hid it, while a normal press destroyed the scene, which is why it went unnoticed for so long. Controller players were affected most.
- Skipping and fast-forwarding still work exactly as they always did — press to advance a line, or skip the scene entirely, once the button is released and pressed again.
- Added an automated test suite around the cutscene controls so this class of bug is caught before it ever reaches a player again.
- Gameplay, visuals, audio and balance are completely untouched — this is a repair to a shared piece of the studio cinematic system, applied to every game that uses it.
