20 October 2026 — safer co-op

Editorial desk · 2026-10-21 · data d2dfaee739

Historical patch dated 20 October 2026, source checked 21 October 2026. Build identifier d2dfaee739, timestamp 2026-10-20T21:42:46.036Z; source commit 3c9641c9e782cf74afbde490f39cd60adf59e32b. The build identifier is not a Git SHA. These are the author's reported changes, not independently tested fixes or a promise of the latest release.

The 20 October entry reports protections against impossible experience values freezing a co-op host and oversized effects freezing guests. Those are particular corrected cases, not a guarantee against all tampering, outages or freezes. This page summarizes the dated changelog rather than claiming a personal test.

Move and co-op corrections

• The author reports corrected forward shots and a working +1 projectile upgrade for ten evolved moves: Acid Spray, Electro Ball, Seed Bomb, Signal Beam, Power Gem, Mist Ball, Energy Ball, Ice Shard, Shadow Sneak and Draining Kiss.
• Guest-cast Ominous Wind, Sand Tomb and Whirlpool regain their enemy-pulling effects. Guest Hex receives its extra damage against burned, poisoned or slowed enemies.
• If fast input closes level-up cards before a choice is made, the cards reopen to resolve the room's wait for that player.
• Changing partners opens the selected partner's upgrade screen rather than the one viewed previously.

Controls, rankings and friends

• Mobile loses the Manual aim setting; attacks use automatic targeting. Manual aim arrived on 18 October, but this later change removes its touchscreen option.
• Per-Pokémon leaderboards require a run lasting at least five minutes. Other leaderboards retain their two-minute threshold.
• Friends no longer display online status. Invitations can be sent to any friend and expire after three minutes if unused; opening Friends shows new friend requests.

Cloud saving replaces the earlier timer

The entry replaces the automatic ten-minute cloud-save rule recorded on 18 October: cloud uploads now occur when Save is pressed and before a game update. It separately says progress is stored immediately in the current browser. Local storage is not a cloud backup. Press Save before switching devices or clearing browser data; the changelog is not proof that any particular upload succeeded.
