New phone? Deleted the app to free up space? If you're signed in, the BULA RUSH stars you earned come back the next time you open the game. And two new runners joined the Krawl this week: JRock, with a squirrel on her shoulder, and Kristia.
Why we built it
Here's what used to happen: reinstall the app, even signed in, and your BULA RUSH progress was gone. The game only kept your crawl on the phone, so deleting the app took it with it. That's a rotten way to lose a three-star run you worked for.
What comes back
The good news is that every run you finish while signed in was already being checked and saved on our side. So now, when you open BULA RUSH, the game quietly compares that record with what's on your phone and fills in anything missing: your stars, your best scores, the bars you've cleared and your crowns. Runners you earned with those stars come back too. There's nothing to tap. If your phone already has more than we do, nothing is taken away.
Your Shells, streak and settings still live on the phone for now.
Meet JRock
JRock comes from Mad Hatters Kava Bar in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the squirrel comes with her. She has a fauxhawk, tattoos, a black tank and blue cargos, and a full set of moves: running, sliding, jumping and pouring. To earn her, open BULA RUSH while you're checked in at Mad Hatters. A couple of days after she arrived we redrew her in the same cartoon style as the rest of the crew, so she looks right next to them.
Meet Kristia
Kristia is a regular at Tulum Botanical in Austin, and you'll see her hanging out there when you play that level. She's also a runner you can earn, and she asks a little more of you: clear Tulum Botanical with all three stars in one run, playing as Ronnie.
Where to find it
Sign in, then open Play and tap BULA RUSH. Your progress fills in by itself. New runners show up in the runner picker once you've earned them. Not seeing any of this? Close the app and open it again so it can update.
Also improved
- JRock was redrawn so she matches the rest of the cast.
- Ronnie is still earned the same way, with a check-in at Tulum Botanical.
- Kristia comes with her own moves for the street, the deck and inside Tulum Botanical.
