🏙️ Every board is now a real 3D town: a plaza with a fountain, hedges, lanterns, a road ring with cars, and landmarks that rise out of a construction site while you watch.
🃏 Card packs open full screen. Flip every card one by one, and new ones get a big NEW stamp.
🎯 Card Match rescues got real flipping cards, sport colours, sparkles and a flips bar so you always know how many tries are left.
🛸 Alien Strikes play full screen, with the mothership hitting your rival's actual town.
💥 Fights hit harder: a combo meter with bonus coins at 10, 25, 50 and 100, a boss entrance with sirens, slow-motion knockouts and real punch, bat and explosion sounds.
🔔 Out of dice? Tap "Ping me when my dice are full" and we'll let you know when your free rolls are back.
⚡ Smoother everywhere: scene changes no longer freeze, building happens one landmark at a time, and auto-roll waits while you build.
🚀 New players roll the dice right away, and the Day 1 reward arrives after your fifth roll.
🏠 A cleaner home screen and menu, and coming back each day is one reward card instead of a pile of pop-ups.
Four secret pros
🔒 Four new pros are locked in alien pods: Benny "2x4" the cricketer, Camille "The Ribbon" the gymnast, Svetlana "The Blade" the fencer and Olivia "Big Wave" the surfer. Their powers stay top secret until you free them.
⚾ The slugger is now Vinny "Moonshot" Vega, the quarterback is Kwan "Air Raid" Brooks and the enforcer is Logan "The Zamboni" Kowalczyk.
🌋 The Lava Golem now glows like real magma and guards Wyoming and Hawaii, and every boss screen shows what kind of monster you're facing.
🌍 The World Boss clock only runs while you're fighting, never while you pick an upgrade.
🎬 In Story Mode, NEXT takes you through every mission before the next boss.

The grand finale
👑 The Hive King now waits in Washington, DC with a crown, a cape, a royal mothership and an enraged second phase.
