This update fixes the feedback button on the end of game screen so it now connects properly to Helpshift.

Spirit Island has a new and improved help & feedback system, powered by Helpshift. Use the Help & Feedback button from the in-game or main menu to access FAQs and report problems to us directly in-game.
