Patch Notes — v0.2.0 Major Update

This is the biggest update since launch. A lot has changed under the hood and on the surface, here's what's new.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused audio to play quieter than intended on certain devices

• Fixed lighting issues across the map

• Fixed a bug that prevented the balloon from casting shadows when interacting with certain light sources

• Fixed a bug that caused the game to launch in the wrong language

• Fixed a bug that caused certain characters to not render in some languages

• Fixed various other localization issues

• Fixed particle effects not displaying correctly

• Fixed a bug that caused players to spawn facing the wrong direction at checkpoints

• Fixed a bug that caused certain platforms to not sync correctly on the server, resulting in different players seeing them in different positions

• Fixed a bug that caused some players to not see the elevator in the construction zone

• Fixed various minor bugs

Improvements

• Increased overall audio volume

• Improved peer-to-peer online system

• Improved balloon rotation — turns are now more consistent and controlled

• Improved wall run

• Improved camera system

• Increased camera auto-align delay from 0.5s to 0.95s

• Camera auto-align can now be disabled from settings

• Improved controller support

• Improved shader compilation

• Rendering optimizations — expect more consistent visual quality and better performance overall

• Improved physics system

• Various level design improvements across the map

• Difficulty rebalancing

• Increased bomb size and count in the bomb sequence

• Overhauled camera shake — transitions are now smoother and consecutive disruptive shakes have been removed

New Features

• Added two distinct physics modes:

  • Standard — The original physics. The balloon carries full weight and momentum, so steady progress comes down to timing and tight coordination between players.

  • Easy — Casual physics. Movement is more responsive and forgiving with direct control, so the balloon is easier to handle while teamwork still moves you forward.

Known Issues (we're actively working on these)

• Under very specific conditions, there is a rare chance the camera becomes unresponsive. We are still investigating this.
