addedThe time of the year has come again! It is Christmas time. To celebrate this, there is the big Season 2019 update today. It contains new content, improvements and bug fixes. All changes are noted below. And to get in the right spirit, there is a trailer for the new season!
addedNew ContentStarter Mode In order to better get into the game, there is now a starter mode. In contrast to the classic mode, the checkpoints work differently and you have unlimited life. So if you're not so trained in the game, you'll lose less of your level progress if you make mistakes. Also the levels are a bit easier on starter mode. For some players the game was too frustrating. That shouldn't be a problem anymore! Steam Achievements There are Steam Achievements in the game now. So you can keep a good eye on your progress and compete with your friends. Some are really a challenge, so try it out ;) New ones will be added in the near future.
changedImprovementsLevel Enhancements & Visual Improvements Based on feedback all levels have been revised to improve the overall playing experience. In addition, the design of e.g. caves has been reworked to make them look better. There are also a few general visual improvements in the UI and a few other things, like better looking snow particles.
