added⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻The Daily Challenge is a brand new mode with a simple concept: A new global challenge every day, with the aim to beat the target score. Alongside this, all modes now grant the brand new, in-game currency: Dots! Each round gives you a small amount of Dots, and while they can't be used for anything right now, we have plans for them in the future. We've also added Enhanced Rich Presence, which displays your current score and mode to all your friends. Existing modes (Easy and Hard) have now been merged into one Normal mode, with Easy, Normal and Hard difficulties.

addedAddedDots are a new in-game currency which is gained by completing levels. Each game played awards you with a small amount of Dots. Currently, Dots have no real usage, but we plan on making them more useful in later updates.
