Reverted 1.01 - Bug fixes still gone through
We have reverted the map changes / player balance that went through before, we have also done a soft wipe on the leaderboard. We made the map too easy. We attempted to rebalance the map and also tuned the player mantle detection making it far too easy to complete the game. We have soft wiped the leaderboard of some of the quick scores from today, we wont do this again. Sorry for the inconvenience. But after much feedback and internal testing we've pulled back many of the changes. Bug fixes -Fixed an issue that caused space transition to break -Fixed an sound issue in space that caused breathing sound to duplicate -Reverted map changes from earlier today -Kept jump pad on city building to smooth out gameplay if you fell onto a roof Sorry again, we will focus on big features now like deeper customization and we are experimenting with a player map creator but dont have further news to share yet.Read full article on Community Announcements (Mightyy)AnnouncementsOfficial
