v0.16 changes how your journey starts: pick your character once, then explore every adventure from your own camp on the beach. 🏕️

What's New

The Beach Hub

  • 🏕️ Start at your beach camp - every adventure (Polar journey, Escape Room, Idiom Caves, Excuses) opens through its own portal.
  • 📜 The main menu is clean and classic again - pick your hero and go.

Home button & continue where you left off

  • 🏠 Tap the Home icon in your bag to teleport back to camp from anywhere.
  • ▶️ Enter an adventure again and you continue from the exact spot you left.
  • 🏦 A bank chest in your tent stores your treasures.

Hannah, Master of Excuses

  • 🙈 50 real-life excuses for why your English is bad - "I only know computer languages!"
  • 🎤 Say each excuse out loud for XP; finish all 50 for a big gold bonus.

Polish

  • 🎲 Teachers now shuffle their cards - a different order on every visit.
  • 🔊 Only the sentence you must say is voiced now - cleaner listening.
  • 🛠️ Tutorial refresh and inventory fixes.

Your English journey has a home now. See you at the camp! 🏕️
