Powerup and Quality of Life Update
Hello, Island Bender players! We're thrilled to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated Powerup and Quality of Life Update for our game on Steam. This update introduces exciting new powerups, enhances gameplay features, and implements various quality-of-life improvements based on your valuable feedback. Here's what you can expect: Updates New Powerups {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43311864/2188dbfb2a9303613b8835abdd3696c22d3e71be.png Black Hole: Harness the power of a cosmic anomaly as the Black Hole powerup! This incredible force will suck up matter and grow in size, gradually decreasing over time. White Hole: The White Hole powerup complements the Black Hole by pushing matter away. If a Black Hole and White Hole exist simultaneously, the White Hole can also act as a teleporter. Poison: Watch out for the toxic Poison powerup! It spawns a dangerous cloud of gas that not only takes away your powerups but also renders rocks and fragments poisonous. Accelerate: Unleash the Accelerate powerup to gradually increase the speed of your thrown rocks over time. Powerup Spawner: Destroying rocks will now have a chance to spawn a powerup, adding an exciting element of unpredictability to the gameplay. Zero Gravity: Experience a whole new level of freedom with the Zero Gravity powerup, which removes the effects of gravity from your thrown rocks. Quality of Life Improvements {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43311864/2085889556137f073e25c7a56daae12b3d95d9a7.png We've made significant gameplay improvements to streamline your experience from your feedback. The following changes have been implemented: Button Remapping: Enjoy greater flexibility by accessing the new button remapping menu, allowing you to customize controls for all players. Simplified Rock Creation and Throwing: Now, you can create and throw rocks using just a single button. If no rocks are nearby, the player will automatically create one, or else it will grab the nearest rock. Change color: Personalize your player by changing its color...Read full article on Community Announcements (Solocov)Patch NotesOfficial
Update Notes for April 4
Dear Island Benders, We're excited to announce that we've implemented some of the feedback we received since the game's release. Firstly, we've reduced the time required to hold action buttons, making the UI interactions smoother and faster. Additionally, we've added a scene selection window, allowing you to easily jump to your favorite game levels without hoping to get a chance to play on your favorite level randomly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43311864/a893ed3f49186331cc5220528c67f923e697b8e5.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43311864/e87016e1c10e00f5c7b1a2651b41314b8c0789ff.jpg We're grateful for your continued support and hope these updates enhance your experience with Island Bender. As always, please don't hesitate to share any further feedback you may have on the Bugs&Issues or Requests forum.

Patch Notes for April 3
- Hand level, sliding to death - With many players you share the spawn point with another player - The tutorial window is always displayed after a restart - "Skip Round" does not always work. - Aiming with the mouse is not possibleRead full article on Community Announcements (Solocov)Patch NotesOfficial
Hotfix: Fixed back button in controls menu.
Probably sometimes happens that if you go in, a round in the menu no longer comes out. It probably happens when you go to the controls in the menu in a match. Then you can't get out of the menu again.Read full article on Community Announcements (Solocov)
