Welcome to Kim's second post-launch update! We've made lots of small improvements and optimisations and fixed some minor bugs. The centrepiece is the new end game replay, which let's you relive your epic journey around India and perhaps start to plan a better route for your next run! We wanted to make the end of a game feel climactic and do a better job of summarising your playthrough. When Kim turns 18, the screen fades, a choice quotation is read, which transitions into 'The End' and a replay of Kim's travels around the map of India by train, horse and foot.
We've also made some balance changes. You will now encounter more characters, who will offer opportunities to improve Kim's skills or set him objectives, which grant a variety of rewards. This provides more choices about how to spend your time while travelling and helps you discover all the different quests more easily. It should make it slightly easier to get a high score as well!
We hope you enjoy this new and improved version of Kim. We've got lots more updates planned for the rest of the year so please do let us know how you find this one and want you'd like to see in the future in the forums or on social media:
