Current version
Version 1.0.0, released 5 August 2026. The first public release of Kinetic Lotus: the full campaign, the daily puzzle, endless mode and offline play. Full release notes.
The iPhone and iPad version is live. It needs iOS 15.0 or later, weighs about 87 MB, and also runs on Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro. It is the same game as the Android build — the full campaign, the daily puzzle, endless mode and complete offline play, free with no in-app purchases.
The campaign grows in chapters rather than continuously, because every board is hand-tuned so that exactly one opening tap reaches the top star target. New chapters ship as free updates — there is nothing to buy in Kinetic Lotus and there never will be. Each release is written up in full on the update history page.
Every day there is one new board, identical for every player, generated from the date on your own device rather than downloaded. That means the daily works in airplane mode like the rest of the game, and two players comparing scores are comparing exactly the same pond.
