Gameplay Changes:
Photoreward is timed better (now between black frames)

Pro hi-scores reward dingdongs so that new portfolio animation reward is easier to achieve
New minimodes (dark color) unlocked by Hi-scores.
Background characters now unlock by unlocking all dark minimodes mentioned above.
Star-achievements in menu. Each rewards a star in-game.
Stars now cover 3d style as well

Instead of only reaching 18 image every round changes into variation pics ~

Achievement are better timed so you notice everything end of the round.
Fast forward button to daily challenge
"Forever no limit" challenges have a cross to remove but you lose your wagered ball(s)
Wheel Reward now mutated to enable Dingdong with Dingdong ball instead of green ball
Secret Final Challenge unlocks also by unlocking 3 Minishops (not possible on first play). Therefore Final challenge unlocks by either A. Unlocking all icons or B. Unlocking 50 photos or C. Buying Fly Lab or D. Unlocking 3 Minishops.
Fast extra fly each game that fills either Style or Pose meter if you catch them (to greatly speed up progress)
