For this update we focused on requests we found on the community forums. We've added cloud syncing for medals, more detailed quality settings and a nice 25% increase in performance! To top it off there are 3 new levels, including some crazy stuff with the jump pad blocks. Enjoy!
Features:
- Medals cloud syncing. Your medals now carry over if you play on a different computer with your Steam account!
- Anti Aliasing, VSync,Texture Quality and Anisotropic Filtering settings added to the graphical options menu.
New Levels:
- Multipath (Easy)
- Boing! (Easy/Medium)
- Pinball (Hard)
Interface:
- The level select now shows you which of the levels are new.
- Graphical options menu received a small rework.
- The pre game interface now tells you when it’s busy downloading a replay file.
Misc:
- Characters now rotate in character select. Look at Henk's glorious behind!
- Graphical performance improved by roughly 25%, noticeable in particular on lower end machines.
- We’re experimenting with unique particles per skin. Different trails have been added to each skin, there’s more to come!
Fixes:
- Personal best replays are no longer cleared when an update happens!
- Personal best replays are no longer local but are now fetched from the Steam leaderboards. You can now be sure that the personal best replay matches your best time on the leaderboards.
- The camera doesn't freeze up anymore when you go through character select too fast.
- The unlock criteria in the skin selection screen now match the actual unlock criteria.
- The animations will now reset properly when hitting the reset button.
Community highlights
We’re still watching all of the Let’s Play videos we come across and are loving every one of them. We’d specifically like to mention this one by Kakujo where he talks us through the previous update. It’s awesome to see all the videos pop up, keep ‘em coming! :D
Next Update
The next two weeks most of us will be in Cologne, Germany. We’re going to visit a series of events: Evoke, GDC Europe and Gamescom. This means that next update will probably be a bit smaller. In case you happen to be at Gamescom, make sure to drop by our stand at the Holland Pavilion in Hall 4.2. Also, if you’re in a competitive mood you can join the Action Henk tournament we’re hosting at the Unity booth on Wednesday!
That’s it for now, we’ll be on the forums and we’ll bring you the next update in two weeks!
