Scritchy Scratchy mobile update 1.1.74
Published August 30, 2026 · Updated September 23, 2026
The July mobile update is a focused input and haptics fix. It does not add the announced challenge content and should not be treated as a new PC gameplay patch.
September follow-up: Android crash fix
There is a newer Android stability update. At our September 23 check, the English Google Play listing displays September 9, 2026. The release notes we checked describe a fix for crashes when the game loses and regains focus. If the game crashes after switching to another app and returning, install the latest available Google Play update and try again.
The notes explicitly report no gameplay changes. This fix is separate from the July stylus and vibration update covered below. Patch 1.2's Challenge Update was announced for Steam on September 28; that Steam post does not establish simultaneous availability on every platform. The App Store still lists version 1.1.74 dated July 24; the Android notes do not establish a new version number. See the September update entry and Patch 1.2 guide for the platform distinction.
Mobile version and release dates
The App Store lists Scritchy Scratchy version 1.1.74 on July 24, 2026. Our July Android update record captured a July 22 date on Google Play with the same two release-note items. Google Play now displays the later September stability fix described above.
Store rollout dates can vary by platform and region, so check the version shown on the device rather than assuming the update has installed automatically.
Stylus and Apple Pencil scratching fix
The release notes say stylus scratching now works properly. On iPad, that applies directly to Apple Pencil input; the Google Play wording covers supported Android stylus input.
If scratching still feels inaccurate, confirm version 1.1.74 or later, fully close and reopen the app after updating, and compare finger input with stylus input before reporting the problem. Include the device model and input method in a support report.
Haptic vibration after leaving the app
The second fix prevents vibration feedback from stopping after the app loses focus. This is a feedback-state repair, not a change to ticket odds, payouts, Prestige, or achievements.
If haptics remain missing, check the in-game vibration setting and the device-level vibration or haptics setting. A system setting can still suppress feedback even when the game-side bug is fixed.
What version 1.1.74 does not change
The mobile notes do not announce Challenges, new rewards, a new ending, or changes to the Steam achievement list. Patch 1.2 is a separate update, and Steam now lists 38 achievements; verify current content in the build you play.
They also do not establish a new Windows or macOS build. For PC changes, follow the official Steam announcements; for Patch 1.2 details and platform limits, use the September challenge update guide.
