Drop Chains & Hockey Netcode

1.4.9
24 July 2026
16 changes in this update

Added

2 changes
  • Drop Chain milestones: consecutive pit drops now build a readable streak and grant controlled +3%, +7% and +12% cash bonuses at 8, 15 and 25 drops. The existing Combo upgrade still multiplies the pit reward.

  • Added a numeric Mini Games notification badge when a new mode becomes available.

Improved

7 changes
  • VIP progression now continues to VIP 100 with new high-tier titles and stronger farm, pit and golden-ball benefits after VIP 60.

  • Ball Value, Bounce, Combo and Offline upgrades now gain clearer milestone boosts at upgrade levels 100 and 150.

  • Neon Bubbles is available from the start, runs alongside the main idle game, restarts cleanly after a loss when reopened, and keeps RESET/CLOSE behind other menus and the leaderboard.

  • Neon Bubbles aiming, colors, spacing and audio were polished; the guide line now matches the selected bubble and main-ring ball sounds are muted while the mini-game is open.

  • Daily spawn/drop mission targets were increased for longer sessions.

  • Fever timer synchronization now handles lobby joins and host changes more reliably without repeatedly resetting.

  • Mini-games remain available during Fever, while Chaos Boards and Rain Catch no longer lock other players just because someone else is running a personal event.

Fixed

7 changes
  • Reworked Neon Hockey around host-authoritative simulation, sequenced player input and synchronized snapshots for smoother remote play and more reliable paddle/puck collisions.

  • Fixed the Neon Hockey ACCEPT handshake so the selected opponent can join the match; cancel/leave now closes both sides and safely returns reserved stakes.

  • Fixed VIP level-up cards showing stale VIP levels instead of the player's current VIP level and title.

  • Fixed the VIP daily 10-minute Auto Ticket so it starts immediately or extends the active ticket.

  • Fixed the READY EVENTS button overlapping and stealing clicks in compact/windowed layouts.

  • Fixed Neon Bubbles retaining a finished board after closing and reopening.

  • Normalized the new Drop Chain, Mini Games notification and Neon Bubbles save fields so existing saves remain compatible.
