Puzzle Rushers, rejoice! For today we added two new modes! You can think of them as time controls for Rush!

Puzzle Modes

3 min

Don't have time for a 5-minute Rush? No problem! Now you can start working on your high score in the new 3-minute format! Otherwise, it's the same as the "classic" 5-minute Rush. You can just fit in a few more games during your coffee break!

Survival

Well, if 3-min means MORE "rush," this format goes in the other direction: Take all the time you want! The Survival game is all about accuracy and endurance. How many puzzles can you solve before you make that (fatal) third error??

Training Modes

Rated Training and Learning Mode are unchanged, but are now both available from the "Training" sub-menu, as shown above!

That's it for today - but we have more new-feature coolness on the way for Puzzle Rush very soon. Stay tuned! In the meantime, please do let us know what you think. Thank you!
