Long Haul changelog

14 October 2026: launch

• Long Haul is open to everyone at arcade.dyne.ai, free to play.
• All four chapters: Ceres Yards, The Drift, Lantern Gate and The Edge (60 jumps).
• Power-ups: line and column purges, blast charge, rivet, overload, meltdown and supernova.
• Boosters (Spanner, Coolant flush, Pre-heat) after jump 4, with more in the Hangar for credits.
• Ports, cargo trading and the Lanes Ledger; Hangar upgrades and paying down the debt.
• A victory run when you win a jump with moves left.
• Help (?) replays every power-up and reactor hazard.
• Fuel refills on its own: 1 every 10 minutes. No store and no ads.

Before launch: two playtests

• Chapters 1 to 4 re-tuned after playtest 2; clearer explanations the first time each new thing appears.
• Readable colours and shapes on every reactor part; calmer motion when your device asks for reduced motion.
