addedOverhauled the Main Menu with a focus on the Community:There's a dedicated 'Updates' box, with important information * Added a 'featured content' box, where we highlight cool stuff, like youtube videos * Added a dedicated box to the King of Speed tournament * Animated the background a bit * Level Select: the workshop list will show the level your opponent voted on, making it easier for you to vote on the same map, even if you are not subscribed to it
addedNew Music!Added 2 new music tracks, played randomly * They're 'work in progress', and will get a quality-upgrade later
changedAdded a Practice Menu:Has an option to quickly set up match against bots * Or, allows you to run any map all by yourself
fixedGameplay:Tweaked the camera movement, focusing more on the player in the lead * New artwork for the Shockwave, also changed the functionality a bit * The Shockwave should work a lot better and more consistent now * Doing quick turns with the grappling hook is a bit more forgiving with regards to which buttons you press * The golden hook-grab should feel a tiny bit more elastic now * Added a little swing ceiling in Prototype2 * Improved some graphical feedback on gameplay events, like when you hook misses or is blocked * If you shoot a golden hook into a box, the box will be destroyed * Fixed a minor checkpoint issue in Casino * Made lethal spikes/lasers look different from non-lethal ones * Fireballs explode when they hit eachother * Reduced Handicapped-frozen time from 1.5 to 1.0 seconds * Superboost now also works when Frozen * You can now only trigger Triggers (with a bomb or fireball) that have Switches connected to them * Made Sherlock Bones and Doctor Smart fit the collision shape better.
addedImproved feedback in the XP System:The post-game screen is a lot quicker now, * and better communicates how many points you scored and for what * Added some in-game popups that tell you when you did a cool thing, like a Triple Freeze
