A calm start, your name and fairer gifts

Ahoy, pirates!

Here are three changes based on what you've told us. Let's go!

A calmer start

Many of you told us that too many enemies showed up at once at the start of a run, without even time to look around. We heard you.

• The first seconds are calmer: far fewer enemies appear at the start than before.
• The pressure builds little by little: more and more arrive until they reach the usual pace at minute 2.
• About half as many enemies appear in the first minute, so you'll have time to grab your first upgrades.

From minute 2 on, everything works as usual: the swarms, the bosses, rage mode and each stage's difficulty.

Change your captain name

Not happy with the name you picked? You can now change it from Settings → Account by tapping Change.

• Your name is unique: nobody else can have it, whatever the capitals.
• You can change it once every 7 days, so choose wisely.
• Your new name shows up right away in the rankings and on your friends' lists.

Fairer gifts

So nobody takes advantage by making new accounts, you can only send gifts once your account is 7 days old.

• You can receive and collect them from day one.
• In the Friends section you'll see a countdown showing how long is left until you can send gifts.

See you on the high seas! If you have more ideas, send them from Suggestions or drop by our Discord.
