Game Update: STARWHAL Beta 4 is up!

It's uuup! Go go go! Here's the recap of all the totally sweet game things you can get once you connect your 56k modem to download the update! New stuff!

• New world: The chilly distant system called "Forsaken"!

• 3 new arenas: The High Ground (featured at The Next Level PAX East tournament), The Clash, and Moebius

• New visual effects across the board

• New arena visual detail - crystals in Asteroid X and moss in Neo Flopicron

• UI updates, including a move of in-game score to bottom of screen (configurable in the options menu)

Balance/Fixes

• Zones - bubbles act more like liquid now with a bit of resistance as you swim through them

• Heart Throb - the heart throb now gradually slows down and becomes easier to catch the longer they have the heart

• Arenas have been moved around a bit into different worlds

• General bug fixes including fixed scoring for Team mode and Zones and optimized game and level loading

• New controllers supported where possible based on the surveys sent back

ALSO! New costumes

• Ice Cream matching set

• Spartan helmet

• T-rex hat

• New battle companions! Paddington the Cat and Carl the Warrior Snail! (and a donut)
