Thank you for your continued feedback and support! We've been working hard to address your suggestions and improve the gameplay experience.

Main Updates

  1. Main Screen Speed: Slowed down the main screen transitions for a smoother user experience.
  2. Death Screen Timer: Increased the death screen duration from 3 seconds to 5 seconds to give players more time.

Level-Specific Changes

Umm Alsibyan

  1. Camera Bug: Fixed a bug where the camera would clip into houses.
  2. Sign Arrows: Added arrows pointing to the first sign and the first checkpoint for improved navigation.
  3. Voice Volume: Increased Umm Alsibyan’s voice to make it more audible.
  4. Sign Placement: Adjusted the locations of signs to reduce spam interactions when placing objects.

Bu Duryah

  1. Dashing After Water: Removed the ability to dash after jumping out of water. This change enhances the challenge and balance of the level by removing the previous single "bugged dash."
  2. Shark Health: Sharks now have 1 health point, making them easier to defeat.
  3. Water Voice: Lowered the volume of water sounds and limited the number of objects that trigger the sound.
  4. Barrel Physics: Fixed the weird falling behavior of barrels.

Napping Donkey

  1. First Puzzle: Added a message to make the first puzzle easier to solve.
  2. Climbing Challenge: Improved the climbing mechanics for a smoother experience.

Umm Alduwais

  1. Bird Size: Increased the size of birds to make landing on them easier.
  2. Kill Zone Bug: Resolved an issue where players would lose multiple lives in kill zones by adding insta-kill zones for clarity and consistency.

General Improvements

  1. Interaction Buttons: Changed the "Chat & Pickup" button to `E` for easier reach.
  2. Respawn Boxes: Ensured dropped boxes respawn in water levels.
  3. Main Menu Mini-Game: Optimized the mini-game in the main menu and made it optional.
  4. Sound Controls: Added a new option for players to adjust sound levels and control audio settings.
