addedLeaderboards We now have Steam Leaderboards fully integrated so you can battle it out globally. What more can I say...it's always sweet to see your name pop up in the #1 spot at the end of a course :) New game mode By popular request we have added a new "freestyle" mode.

Setups We noticed a big difference in skill levels during testing. Some people were immediately paddling like pros but others needed a bit more time. So we settled on 3 setups for the differing skill levels. A lot of work has gone into balancing the fun vs skill factor in these. This screenshot gives you a general idea of how the setups work:
