Play House Flipping

November 2026

v1.0.26

Turn your phone any time

  • Turning your phone while a house is in the air no longer leaves it landing on a floor you can't see: the ground under it catches up at the next landing.
  • If your phone's graphics reset, the glow, shading and painted pictures come back instead of going blank.
v1.0.25

Cleaner edges

  • The building site's backdrop now reaches the right edge on phones, with no strip of plain sky at the side.
  • Cleaner edges on the tire swing, the debris and the coaster car: no pink tint, no thin white rims, no crack in the tire.
v1.0.24

Every sound is new

  • The snap, when a piece locks into place, has a new recording: a soft, dry wooden snap. Every sound in the game is now a new recording.
  • Prefer the original sounds? Settings, then Sounds, then Classic.
v1.0.23

Music on the title screen

  • The music now starts on the title screen, a little quieter, and comes up to full when a run starts.
  • The perfect landing, the shed and the unlock have new, softer sounds. Only the snap keeps its original sound.
  • Prefer the original sounds? Settings, then Sounds, then Classic.
v1.0.22

New sounds and music

  • 16 of the game's 20 sounds are newly recorded, and a looping music bed plays through the match.
  • Prefer the original sounds? The gear button at the top left opens Settings; its Sounds row switches between New and Classic.
  • The perfect landing, snap, shed and unlock keep their original sounds for now.
v1.0.21

Pause stops everything

  • While the game is paused, the PLAY button stops pulsing too, so nothing on screen moves.
v1.0.20

Spins finish

  • The pan now waits for a spinning clay house to stop turning before it settles it, so fast flips finish.
v1.0.19

Starts every time

  • The game now always starts and pauses properly, even on a phone or browser that blocks one of its drawing steps.
v1.0.18

A clay car on the coaster

  • At the Fun Fair, a little clay car now rides the roller coaster, tilting with the track over each hill.
v1.0.17

Clay sparkles and crumbs

  • A PERFECT catch now bursts into little clay stars, and landings kick up soft clay puffs.
  • Hard landings knock little clay blocks off the Family Home, Country Manor and Mansion, and a house that falls apart drops clay chunks.
  • Harbor at night: the light beam now shines from the lantern.
  • Cracks and chips on a worn house look pressed into the clay.
  • Fixed: on the title screen the demo house no longer flies through the house picker.
v1.0.16

Tidier menus on phones

  • The game-over screen fits small phones held upright, even with a new best, an unlock and Second Wind all showing.
  • On sideways phones the house picker is taller, so each house is easy to see.
  • The house picker appears once you unlock a second house.
  • Fixed: "You flipped 1 houses" now says "1 house".
v1.0.15

Clay physics for everyone

  • Houses now move like soft clay by default: a hard landing leaves a small dent that stays, and the house is drawn at 12 poses a second, like stop-motion.
  • Full-strength clay, with a heavier thud, stays in the game as a test option.
  • Fixed: the pale strip under the Building Site on tall phones held upright is gone; the wooden base now reaches the ground.

October 2026

v1.0.14

Opens cleanly every time

  • Fixed: the game now finishes loading in the right order, so it opens cleanly every time, even when it starts in the background.
v1.0.13

Painted rooftop runs to the bottom edge on tall phones

  • On a tall phone the painted rooftop backdrop now runs to the bottom of the screen, so the pale strip under it is gone.
  • The harbor, fair and site backgrounds are back to their 1.0.11 look.
v1.0.12

Sideways game over fits every phone; no pale strip under the painted backdrops

  • On a sideways phone the game-over screen now sits in two columns, so TRY AGAIN and DAILY stay on screen even with a new best, an unlock and Second Wind showing together.
  • The painted backgrounds on a sideways phone run to the bottom edge with no pale strip.
v1.0.11

Sideways phones get the painted backgrounds; Halloween decor on the lawn

  • On a sideways phone, the harbor, fair, site and rooftop backgrounds are now hand-painted in the clay look too, day and night.
  • The Halloween jack-o'-lantern and gravestone now sit on the lawn (they floated beside it before).
  • Add ?art=code to the web address to see the old look.
v1.0.10

Holiday decorations and debris in the clay look

  • The holiday decorations are now hand-painted in the clay look too: the Christmas tree, star topper and presents, the Valentine's heart balloons and mini hearts, and the July 4th flag and mortar.
  • Flying debris has a painted tile piece as well.
  • The Thanksgiving hay bale and pumpkins now sit on the lawn (they floated beside it before).
  • Add ?art=code to the web address to see the old look.
v1.0.9

More clay paintings: fair, harbor, rooftop, holidays

  • The fair's Ferris wheel and gondolas, the harbor's swell and wave mark, the rooftop pigeons and the Thanksgiving turkey, hay bale and pumpkin are now hand-painted in the clay look.
  • Flying debris has painted shard and splinter pieces, and the autumn shrub has its painted version.
  • Fixed thin seam lines at the screen edges of the harbor and fair backdrops.
  • Add ?art=code to the web address to see the old look.
v1.0.8

Clay look on hills, fence and ghost

  • The hills behind the lawn, the fair's fence and the Halloween ghost are now hand-painted in the clay look too.
  • Add ?art=code to the web address to see the old look.
v1.0.7

Clay look for everyone

  • The hand-painted clay toy look is now how the game looks for everyone: houses, lawns, trees, sky and scenery.
  • The fireworks crate and the FOR SALE sign are gone from the lawn.
  • More pieces are still being painted (the fair's Ferris wheel, harbor waves, pigeons and holiday decorations), and sideways phones keep drawn backdrops for now. Add ?art=code to the web address to see the old look.
v1.0.6

Every piece painted (preview)

  • The hand-painted toy style behind ?art=toy is now complete: the last pieces are in, including a new Lighthouse whose shape now follows its painting, the sun, the balloon, the winter lawn and daytime harbor, fair, building site and rooftop backdrops.
  • Painted backdrops darken properly at night, and on sideways phones the game keeps its drawn backdrops for now.
  • Without ?art=toy the game plays exactly as before. Claymation physics is still there to try with ?clay=1 or ?clay=2.
v1.0.5

Painted scenery and clay physics (previews)

  • Add ?art=toy to the game's web address to see the hand-painted toy style on almost everything: houses, lawns, trees, garden decorations, clouds, birds, props and the stage platforms. A few backdrops are still being painted.
  • New preview: claymation physics. Add ?clay=1 (gentle) or ?clay=2 (full) and houses squash, keep their dents like clay and move in a stop-motion style.
  • Without these, the game plays exactly as before. One small fix for everyone: the hot-air balloon in the sky is now a full balloon.
v1.0.4

A first look at painted houses

  • An early look at the new hand-painted toy style: add ?art=toy to the game's web address to see 18 painted houses and two painted lawns.
  • Without it, the game looks and plays exactly as before. More painted scenery is on the way.
v1.0.3

Steadier and clearer

  • Fixed a slowdown that built up every time the game was paused, for example by an ad or by switching apps, which could make long sessions stutter or close.
  • If something goes wrong mid-run, the game keeps going and shows your score instead of freezing.
  • The first-time tips fit on every phone, and in landscape they no longer cover the house.
  • FLIP! and the score no longer print on top of each other, and the house picker shows each house once with bigger stars.
  • Houses you just unlocked are marked NEW! on the picker.
v1.0.2

Phone fixes

  • The ? button and the wheel sit inside the screen edge, so nothing is cut off on a phone.
  • In portrait, the title sits clear of the ? button.
  • The info close button is bigger and easy to tap.
  • The info panel fits on short landscape screens.
  • The landscape game over screen starts at the top, with the reels side by side.
v1.0.1

Small fixes

  • House names on the picker are easier to read, even against a bright sky.
  • On small phones the demo house on the title screen no longer flies behind the title.
  • The fireworks crate is bigger and always stays in view, even when a house lands next to it.
  • New players' Daily house now picks an easier place instead of jumping to the hardest one.
v1.0.0

The big upgrade

  • Six new houses: Red Barn, Igloo, Houseboat, Treehouse, Lighthouse and Castle Tower.
  • Four new places to flip: Harbor, Fun Fair, Building Site and Rooftop, each with its own feel.
  • Every place has something going on, like a big swell, a gusty wind or a speeding conveyor, with a warning just before it hits.
  • Things to bounce off and set off: balloons, a bumper, a swinging sign, a water tower and fireworks crates.
  • Earn up to 3 stars on each house. Stars unlock new houses and places.
  • A new Daily house every day, with a streak to keep going.
  • Catches hit harder: a short freeze, a bigger shake, combo pops and creaks as the house strains.
  • New sounds and music, and a bluer sky.
  • A quick 3-step guide for first-time players, which you can skip.
  • Fixed the web version playing no sound.
  • Fixed rare runs that never ended when the house got stuck.

September 2026

v0.9.0

Smoother on big screens

  • Full screen on a 4K display no longer strains the game.

August 2026

Jelly houses, real destruction

  • Houses are soft and wobbly instead of stiff and blocky, with new lighting.
  • Wooden frames snap and break apart piece by piece.
  • You can see inside the houses through their windows as they tumble.
  • Fixed a few houses that were nearly impossible to flip.
  • Fixed a reward message that appeared without giving you anything.

July 2026

Wear fix

  • Fixed wear-and-tear patterns on houses that looked broken or repeated.

House Flipping arrives

  • Flip a house across the yard with one button, or smash it for points.
  • A spin wheel picks your house, with 12 houses to unlock.
  • Houses wear and crack the longer your run goes.
  • A day-night cycle with lit windows after dark, and decorations around the holidays.
