SwipeTrack 2.0: a whole new look, City Stadium & daily streaks

2.0 is the biggest update yet. Every screen has been redesigned, there's a new stadium to reach, and racing every day now pays off with bigger XP and new gear.

A new look everywhere

  • A darker, cleaner design with big numbers, stadium photos, and a color for every distance
  • Four tabs at the bottom: Run, Progress, Rankings, and Runner
  • Race cards show the stadium, your race level, your PB, the XP for a win, and your next goal
  • New icons throughout

City Stadium

  • A brand-new five-lane stadium in the middle of the city, for levels 10–19
  • Reaching a new stadium now gets its own moment, with the option to race there straight away

Daily streak

  • Finish one race a day to build a streak. Your bonus XP grows with it, from +10% on day 1 to +50% from day 6 on
  • Unlock the Flame shirt on day 3 and Gold shoes on day 7
  • An evening reminder lets you know when your streak is about to end

Racing

  • A new warm-up before each race shows which side to swipe next
  • A new race HUD: your place, time, distance to go, speed, stamina, and a dot for every rival
  • In races of 800m and longer, every 400m tells you how far ahead of or behind your PB pace you are
  • The race screens also work with your iPhone turned sideways

Results and level-ups

  • One new results screen with your place, time, world rank, and the XP you earned for each attribute
  • A PB now gets confetti
  • Attribute level-ups get their own full-screen moment that explains what improved
  • “Run again” shows the time you need to move up the world rankings

Progress, Rankings & Runner

  • Progress: your runner level, total races, distance and top speed, your four attributes, and a record for every distance with its world rank
  • Rankings: a podium for each distance and the runners just above and below you
  • Runner: pick your name, color your runner with a live preview, and link Sign in with Apple
  • Tapping a rank alert now opens that distance so you can race straight back

New players and reliability

  • New players start with a short welcome and go straight into their first 100m, then pick a name
  • If your connection drops at the finish, your race is saved and sent again, and your XP and rank fill in when it gets through
v1.3.2

A new race menu, a live runner preview & fresh outfit colors

v1.3.2 makes it easier to pick your next race and to make your runner your own. Every distance now shows what you can win, and the Customize tab shows your runner in 3D as you change it.

A new race menu

  • Swipe left and right through the distances, from 100m to 10000m. The game remembers the last one you picked.
  • Each race card shows the stadium, your race level, your PB, and the XP for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
  • A goal for every race: unlock the next stadium, reach a new attribute level, or the time you need to move up the world rankings
  • A new bottom navigation bar with icons

See your runner before you save

  • The Customize tab now has a live 3D preview of your runner
  • Drag the preview to turn your runner around
  • Colors update right away, and nothing changes until you tap Save

New outfit colors

  • New bright clothing colors: yellow, hi-vis green, red, and blue
  • New everyday colors: beige, olive, and khaki
  • Shoes now keep their own color and no longer pick up the tint of your shirt or shorts
  • Updated skin tones and a more natural red hair color

Smoother racing

  • Motion blur now builds up more gradually with speed
  • The track and your rivals blur at speed, while your own runner stays sharp
  • A retuned daytime sky with softer, more natural light

Friendlier first races

  • After your first race, a short tip points you to where you can customize your runner
  • We now ask you to pick a display name only when you reach the global Top 10, so your name shows up where it counts
v1.3.1

Into the forest: a new stadium and sharper racing

Stadium progression takes its next step in v1.3.1. Reach level 5 and leave the Meadow for a purpose-built four-lane venue surrounded by grandstands, trees, and deep forest green.

The Forest Stadium

  • A completely new four-lane stadium for levels 5–9
  • Track markings and staggered starts aligned for every race distance, from 100m to 10000m
  • New forest scenery, trackside structures, seating, and materials give the venue its own atmosphere

A sharper race feel

  • Quicker, more natural acceleration for you and your rivals
  • Rebalanced speed, stamina, fatigue, rival pacing, and progression
  • Smoother camera response and refined start and running animation blends

A better first run

  • A hands-on swipe check before the countdown lets you practise both directions before the race begins
  • The 100m is now gently highlighted for brand-new runners
  • Leaderboard entries now show the relevant race or attribute level

Reliability fixes

  • Improved race-result recovery when a completed race needs to refresh its saved state
  • Fixed an iOS issue that could prevent Sign in with Apple from returning to the game
  • Clearer account error messages and more consistent XP rewards between the game and server
v1.3.0

Female runner, a brand-new animation system & the pain of the final lap

This is the biggest visual update since launch. Your runner no longer just moves down the track — they set up on the line, launch out of the start, change form as the race grinds them down, and react when they cross the finish.

Choose your runner

  • New female runner model — pick MALE or FEMALE in Personalization
  • All existing shirt, pants, shoes, skin, and hair colors work on both runners
  • Your choice is saved to your account and syncs across devices

A completely rebuilt animation system

  • Dedicated on-your-marks stances and start launches — sprint starts are explosive, distance starts are controlled
  • Separate sprint and distance running styles that blend automatically based on your event and current speed
  • Fatigue now shows in the form: as stamina drains, posture breaks down and the stride gets heavy
  • Stride cadence is matched to real velocity, so there's no more foot sliding at any pace
  • New finish reactions — a victory run and celebration for a win, exhaustion or recovery for everyone else
  • AI rivals use the exact same animation system, including their own finish reactions and placings

Feel the exhaustion

  • Vision darkens and tunnel-visions in as your stamina empties — hang on to the line
  • The screen blurs as accumulated fatigue peaks late in long races
  • Subtle brightness lift at top speed to sell the pace

Leaderboards & progression

  • New "Around You" leaderboard view — if you're outside the top 5, you now see the runners directly above and below you instead of an unreachable top 10
  • Your global rank now shows as position out of total runners
  • Rebalanced XP rewards, especially for 3000m, 5000m, and 10000m

Fixes & polish

  • Corrected lane line alignment on the Meadow stadium track
  • Runners now sit properly on the track surface instead of floating
  • Expired sessions refresh automatically instead of failing a sync
  • The sync retry button now works when the connection failed during startup
  • Refreshed navigation icons, leaderboard dropdown, and Personalization layout
v1.2.0

Cloud saves, runner profiles & smarter leaderboards

  • New SwipeTrack guest accounts keep progression synchronized with our game service — no Apple login required
  • Optional Sign in with Apple linking for reinstall and cross-device account recovery
  • Custom public display names and runner colors for shirt, pants, shoes, skin, and hair
  • Authoritative race results and progression with safer recovery from interrupted submissions
  • Unified global leaderboards preserving existing rankings during our PlayFab-to-Supabase transition
  • Optional push notifications when another runner knocks you down the leaderboard
  • Permanent in-app account deletion and refreshed Profile, header, and bottom navigation
