11 updates
OnByte is improving the reliability behind how learning progress is recorded — preparing smarter personalization without changing how games feel yet.
Weekly leagues now show promotion results and clearer progress through tiers. Parent-managed children can join privacy-safe Global Leaderboards when parents allow it. Game sessions feel smoother when lives run out or you need to send feedback.
SpellSprint and SpellFill now better match each learner's current level, pick up unfinished sessions reliably, and handle moments when spelling practice isn't available yet.
Fixed an issue where typing in an in-game feedback form could trigger gameplay keyboard shortcuts or affect the answer field.
Games run more smoothly on Safari, SpellFill picks up where you left off, answers submit more reliably, and Pattern Discovery feels fairer round to round.
Sign-in is more reliable on Safari, and parents move smoothly to onboarding after verifying their email — no more blank page in between.
A fix for a rare stall when the final answer of a workout was submitted — SpellSprint, SpellFill, and Pattern Discovery now show a clear finishing state, recover gracefully if completion is slow, and avoid duplicate rewards if you tap again.
SpellSprint, SpellFill, and Pattern Discovery now share a smoother play experience — first-time How to Play guides, quicker correct-answer moments, helpful review when you miss one, and a session recap you can open right from Game Complete.
OnByte now routes each game session using your Challenge Level and learning profile — so Easy, Just Right, and Challenge Me stay meaningful. Pattern Discovery picks puzzles from your level instead of always starting at the easiest pattern.
OnByte's homepage, About, and Vision pages now tell a consistent mental-fitness story — built for kids, adults, and older adults at their own pace. Privacy Policy, Terms, and Children's Privacy are linked from the site footer.
Polish from recent playtests — clearer in-game controls, a cleaner streak celebration on Game Complete, and a faster path when naming your family.
v0.9.x
5 updates
Pattern Discovery joins SpellSprint on the Games Hub — a new visual reasoning game with pattern puzzles, countdown rounds, and session summaries built on the same gameplay frame families already love.
OnByte's public experience now leads with coaching-first discovery — a clearer story on the homepage and a redesigned Games Hub that helps families find the right game fast.
Collaboration arrives — a motivation-focused Family dashboard, weekly league tiers, and learning groups so households and friends can play together without mixing admin tools into the fun.
Motivation becomes visible — XP and coins now come with celebrations, achievement and badge galleries, ByteBuddy encouragement, and a richer session-complete screen.
SpellSprint sessions feel more educational and supportive — expandable word insights, contextual progress messages, streak goals, and a global help system across the dashboard and games.
v0.8.x
2 updates
Every legitimate workout now feeds the same XP, streak, household, and leaderboard story — no separate practice bucket on your dashboard.
Progression gets depth — level thresholds, richer XP breakdowns after workouts, and daily streaks that follow your local calendar when you finish a session.

Families grow more flexibly — invite adults by email or code, track household seats, and see members organized by role on the Family page.

v0.3.x

OnByte's first game ships and quickly grows into a full experience — adaptive spelling workouts, Classic and Fill-In modes, personal dashboard, family league, and a polished game loop with speech, animations, and session summaries.
v0.2.x
