Early Access v4 is live!

The past two weeks most of us were attending the Game Developers Conference and Gamescom in Cologne (Germany) to showcase the game to people from all over the world.
Nonetheless we still managed to get a couple of cool things in this update. We’ve got 64-bit Linux support, more skin-specific particles and a very, very long level.
We’re also happy to announce that next week we will be showcasing Action Henk at PAX Prime at the Indie MEGABOOTH! So if you’re around, make sure to drop by and chat with us!

New Platforms:

• Linux 64-bit support! Leaderboards and replays now work on Linux 64-bit.

New Levels:

• Marathon (Medium). This level is loooong!

Interface:

• People who have identical times now also have identical ranks.
• Level select list improved.

Misc:

• Most of the character skins have received death particles and/or sounds for when they fall in the lava. Most skins also have their particles updated to make them stand out from each other even more. Most notably: Swan Henk, Blue Blaze Henk and Boxing Betsy.
• We’ve had problems with the Steamworks plugin we use so we’ve replaced the whole thing altogether, this should reduce the number of random crashes some people had.
• When you get to the character select it starts at the most recently played character/skin combination.

Fixes:

• The anti-aliasing menu option now works correctly.
• The alternative Henk theme now plays correctly.

Community highlights
Community member Assault brought this video to our attention, it’s an amazing attempt at the world record on “The Drop”, he absolutely nails it! This morning we also laughed at Tengu Drop’s new video. He basically tries every hard level there is, and eventually gives up because they are way too hard for him :D

Next Update
We’ll be customizing the character skins more with unique sound effects and more unique particles per skin. We’re also working on something big but that’ll have to wait until next update ;)

That’s it again, as always we’ll be on the forums and the next update will be ready for you in two weeks, we can’t wait for that one!
