What changed in each version, newest first.

Version 1.0.9

2026-10-31

Princess Sakura joins as your guide on the journey. She speaks up in the opening story, on the realm map and before and after battles, and teaches one shogi rule before each of Battles 1–10 (turn her off in Settings → Princess Sakura's words).
The bottom bar is now easier to read at large text sizes and easier to use with a keyboard.

2026-10-23

Fixed the wording for a single day (1 day) in English, French, German and Spanish.

2026-10-16

Tsume shogi now opens from the bar at the bottom of the home screen (Record moved to the menu).
The home screen now fits on one screen.
Input boxes in Settings have clearer borders.

2026-10-15

New Realm Map: see every region of the journey in one picture, and tap a region to pick its battles.
The bar at the bottom now starts with Journey, which opens the map.
After you finish a lap of the journey, you can also play the regions you cleared in earlier laps.

2026-09-24

New Tsume mode: 70 mate-in-1 and mate-in-3 puzzles, in chapters of 10.
Now available on iPad.
The game screen is clearer: the opponent's face appears once and pieces fill their squares.
The endgame and tense moments now have their own music.
An empty leaderboard now shows what it takes to be listed.
Fixed the app sometimes losing its server connection when reopened after a while.
Avatar and piece-set names now match what you see; the unused "Piece style" setting is gone.

2026-09-22

Fixed a bug where clearing a battle did not move you on, so the same opponent kept appearing.
The animated avatars are now people of the grand court instead of shogi pieces (this reaches you even if you already bought them).
