Crouch Mechanic

We had obstacles in the game that required players to crouch to pass under them, which was done by pressing a button. This mechanic reduced the fun of the game and did not look visually appealing. We have added a new feature using VR mechanics. Now, you can bend down and pass under obstacles yourself. Just duck under it.

Hand Positions

The positions of the controllers did not match the in-game hand positions. We adjusted the hand positions, and they now have a more comfortable and realistic feeling.

Haptic Feedback

We have added the Haptic Feedback feature to the controllers in order to enhance the feeling of using the pickaxes in the game. We hope you will enjoy it.

Steam VR Support

You can now play our game through Steam VR.

UI and Pointer

Some UI's wasn't clickable cause of pointer and UI position issues. We have stabilized the pointer location in the game and made UI elements more clickable by positioning them correctly.

Ingame Lights

The lighting in some levels was insufficient, causing players to have trouble seeing their way forward. We apologize for this issue. We have adjusted the in-game lighting and the illuminated miner's helmet worn by the character to make the environment more visible.

How to Play

We realized that the in-game "How to Play" instructions were not clear enough. We have updated them to include two guides that we hope will be more helpful.

Sound Effects

We have added a few new sound effects to the game that will enhance its realism. They are not many, but they are noticeable.

Thank you for downloading our latest update! Have fun playing and stay tuned for more.

Best regards, +Umbrella Team
