Rebuilt UI
— Main Menu, Lobby, in-game HUD and Settings moved to the new design; tablets now get their own layout.
Draggable windows
— move the paint editor, chat and standings panel wherever you like.
Esc now opens Settings
, freeing the cursor moved to Ctrl. Settings gained "Back to Main Menu" and "Quit Game".
Key caps
— Ready, whistle, cursor lock and Settings now show your own key bindings.
One aim mode
— camera-centred aiming is now standard on every platform.
Smoother painting
— the colour you pick with the eyedropper survives the switch back to the brush, and UI clicks no longer reach the scene.
Pose selection fixed on desktop
— pick poses with the mouse and rotate them with the arrow keys.
Reworked spectating
— see the live standings when caught and watch any player by clicking their row.
Run animations
now show correctly for other players.
Mobile improvements
— soft keyboard, touch button response and button labels fixed; translations updated in 12 languages.
