Update 1.3.0 - A New Badge, Puzzles, and Smoother Chaos

[p]We’ve been listening closely to your feedback, and this update focuses on making Azooma Escape feel smoother, fairer, and even more rewarding to explore. From brand-new puzzles and improved tutorials to cleaner boss fights and a shiny new progress tracker (with brag-worthy badges), this patch polishes the chaos while adding fresh ways to test your skills. Whether you’re sneaking, sprinting, or surviving without a single death, there’s now more reason than ever to jump back in.[/p][p][/p]
