Gameplay

added1. Time TrialsWe’ve had many requests for a time trial feature to be added, so here it is! The time trial feature will unlock after you've successfully completed all 15 levels of the Early Access edition. Your score is the total amount of time spent playing through all 15 levels (including any deaths or restarts), and your ranking will be displayed on the Global Leaderboard .

changed2. Better climbing controlsWe’ve adjusted the climbing physics and animation to give you more control at the top of the climb (rather than getting automatically pushed forward). Transitioning from climbing to moving is now much more fluid. (The change in player control has caused small animation problems for the Echo climbing - but they are next on the list.)

addedAlso in this update:A smexy new menu! (see below)
