OSSIFY 1.3: the board goes edge to edge

For a long time OSSIFY drew its board in a box with black around it. It worked. It never felt like stone.

1.3 puts the board on the whole screen. The slate runs to every edge of the phone and only the strip under the camera stays clear. It finally looks like you're looking down at a slab, not at a game inside a frame.

A few other things changed. Game Center works again. It had quietly stopped taking scores a few builds back, and now your best runs reach the leaderboard. The icon is new: nine stones and one of them still glowing, which is more or less the whole game. When your fortress seals, the ending sits in plain bands above and below the board so you can see what you built. The dust is finer. The pause screen says what it means.

If you haven't played yet, there's one rule. Your tail doesn't follow you. It turns to stone where you left it and the next run starts inside those walls. You grow and you shed. You catch the rhino and carve glass. Sooner or later the fortress closes around you. That isn't game over. That's the point.

It's free on the App Store with no ads and no accounts. Android is in closed testing now.

Your tail stays behind. Build well.
