The update is officially live! Thank you all so much for playing, and I appreciate your patience while the update was rolling out.

As promised, I have completely revamped Rush Mode. To bring back the adrenaline-pumping, high-pressure gameplay it was originally designed for, I've introduced a 10-second hard cap to the timer. The new Rush Mode is fast, intense, and will truly test your reflexes. I can't wait to see how you all tackle the brand-new leaderboard!

🏆 The Legacy Rush Showcase

Before we fully step into this new era, I want to take a moment to immortalize the legends of the Legacy Rush mode. You guys found the absolute limits of my early design and completely broke the timer—and I honestly love it.

As a tribute to your insane tapping skills, here is the final, frozen snapshot of the Legacy Rush Leaderboard:

A quick reminder on User Flairs:

• If you played the original mode, your score is permanently preserved in your flair next to the legacy ⚡ icon. Wear it as a badge of honor!
• As you play the new Rush Mode, your fresh scores will automatically update in your flair next to the new 🔥 icon.

Thank you all again for the amazing feedback that helped shape this update. The new Rush Leaderboard is a completely clean slate. Good luck, and happy tapping!

Hey everyone! First of all, a huge thank you to all the players who have been playing the game and sharing your thoughts. I’ve been reading all your comments, especially the recent discussions and suggestions about Rush Mode.

I hear you loud and clear. To ensure the game remains challenging and engaging, I am optimizing the gameplay for Rush Mode. I will be adding a hard cap to the timer in the next update. This optimization will keep the pressure high and make it the thrilling, fast-paced challenge it was originally meant to be. If you love that edge-of-your-seat feeling, you’re going to love this new gameplay!

Because the new mechanics will make scoring significantly harder, it wouldn't be fair to mix the old scores with the new ones. Here is my plan:

• Fresh Start: I will be launching a brand-new Rush Leaderboard for everyone to compete on evenly.
• Preserving the Legacy: The old Rush Mode leaderboard will be frozen and archived as "Legacy Rush". Before the update goes live, I will take a final snapshot of the top players and include it in the official [Update] post to immortalize your crazy high scores!
• Legacy Badges: Your Legacy Rush score will remain permanently in your user flair next to the ⚡ icon. Scores achieved in the new Rush Mode will be represented in your flair by a new 🔥 icon. Both the ⚡ and 🔥 icons will happily co-exist.

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING REGARDING ONGOING GAMES: ⚠️ Due to how Reddit Devvit works, deploying a game update will reset all local browser data. This means any active, unfinished matches will be lost. If you are currently in the middle of a game (especially a long Infinite Mode run), please make sure to finish the match so your score auto-submits before the update hits!

⏰ Update Schedule: The update will go live on Wednesday, May 13th at 9:00 AM UTC (That's 5:00 AM ET / 2:00 AM PT).

Thank you all again for your amazing feedback. I'll keep optimizing and updating, so stay tuned!

Hey everyone! 👋

A new update for Tap Me +1 is rolling out now, and I’m super excited to share what’s new. Huge thanks to everyone in the community for playing and sharing your thoughts—this update is heavily driven by your feedback!

Here is what I’ve added and improved in this version:

• ⚡ New Rush Mode: Added a fast-paced Rush mode with unlimited moves! You start with just 10 seconds on the clock, and each successful clear adds +1 second. It creates a quick, high-adrenaline way to play. Massive shoutout to u/No_Skill_4511 for the awesome suggestion!
• ♾️ Infinite Mode Tuning: I've optimized the spawn strategy for new blocks in Infinite mode. Games should now last longer, feel much more sustainable, and be more balanced overall. Thank you u/wanderingalice for the great feedback on this!
• 🛠️ Tap Reliability / Bug Fix: I tracked down and fixed a race condition that could cause glitches during rapid, repeated taps. Continuous play should feel much smoother and more responsive now. Good catch and thanks to u/SaintsTaints for reporting this issue!

Let me know what you think of the new Rush mode and the tweaks to Infinite. Your feedback keeps the game getting better!

Happy tapping! 👆
