The Rallying Ball 1.2.0


The biggest update so far – new places to explore, new challenges to master and times to beat.

New

  • Crystal Cave (mission 5) – a guarded gorge, a dark lava cave with crumbling and sliding slabs, sweeping arms and lava geysers. The ice crystal permanently empowers your shield.
  • Arena – sumo over a lava crater: five waves, enemies shove back, and the platform shrinks every wave. Your first clear makes the speed boost recharge twice as fast.
  • Lava Run – a time trial along the western edge through 13 stone gates, including a slab crossing over a lava bay.
  • Steam friends leaderboards for the Arena and Lava Run – see your friends' best times at the start, and your place among friends after every run.
  • Ruins – a crumbled watchtower, a stone circle, a gateway and a ruined tower with a viewpoint.
  • Enemies falling into lava now splash, sizzle and flash.

Improved

  • The game starts much faster (about 4 s instead of 20+ s) and uses about 1 GB less memory.
  • New loading screen with a progress bar.
  • Smoother ball and camera movement on 60/144 Hz screens.
  • New rock scenery and clouds; better performance in grassy areas.

Fixed

  • You could ride on thin air on top of the cave roof.
  • The mouse cursor no longer moves onto other monitors during play.
  • Ability bars no longer show over the Esc menu.

Thanks for playing – see you on the leaderboards!
