New control scheme!

Accelerate input is now handled automatically. By default, controller now uses Triggers for steering and beat tapping, which should be more intuitive to new players. Air control is separated from steering inputs. On controller this is Left Stick, on keyboard WASD.

This is a big change and I'd love to hear opinions in the discussion pages or on Discord.

Other:

  • Tutorial tooltips updated to match new control scheme.

  • Improved leaderboard reporting and display.

  • Added Diamond medals.

  • Added news ticker in the main menu (which you may be reading now).

Hotfixes:

  • Fixed bug in checkpoint time difference calculator.

  • Fixed a bug in steam leaderboard reporting at the end of the run.

  • Fixed minor respawn exploit that allowed a small time gain.
