What is new in BlobIQ
Changes to the game and the site, and new features, newest first.

The TV stays on during a game, and you see the right answer after a miss
The TV screen in a browser now has a fallback to stay awake during a game, even when the TV browser does not support the screen wake lock. After a wrong answer the phone shows the points and the correct answer, including in the “How much do you bet” round.

Android app 0.2.2 in testing
You can send bug reports and ideas from the main menu now, even without a room. The phone no longer goes dark in the lobby, and you can switch off the anonymous usage statistics in the menu.
The app is still in internal testing on Google Play.

Play on your phone or on your TV
The site now has two buttons: “Play on your phone” (solo against bots or remotely with friends) and “I have a TV” (the screen with a QR code). You don't need a TV to start playing.

Final: the first to reach the finish wins
If several players reach the finish on the same question, the one with the faster correct answer wins. The results screen shows who was first to the finish and how fast.

Android app 0.2.1 in testing
From the menu you can join another room or leave a room, and the app opens play.blobiq.com links. Bug reports now work in the app too.

Play without a TV: solo against bots or remotely with friends
On your phone you can now play solo against bots (easy, medium or hard) or open a room for friends who join from their own phones. The studio with the host appears between the questions, and the question and answers are always on your phone.
If you open play.blobiq.com on a phone you now land straight in the player view. The TV screen still works on televisions and computers.
-
A new question screen on the phone
Long questions and answers now fit on the phone screen without being cut off. The screen is cleaner: the menu sits behind a three-dot button and the reactions are under a single button.
In the menu you can choose the answer layout (a list or 2x2 tiles) and whether the question is shown on the phone.

The BlobIQ site is now in Polish and English
The BlobIQ site can be read in two languages: Polish and English. The language switch is in the header.
This is where we will note changes to the game and new features.
