changedToday's update features a very noteworthy change in the handling of the car. With changes to airborne movement, water movement as well as general vehicle handing, you'll (hopefully!) find the car more rewarding to handle around sharp corners and long turns alike.

changedBelow is a more detailed list of what exactly has changed in this update (not just the handling changed with today's update)

changedHandlingAdjusted hovercar handling to be far more forgiving when airborne You will lose much less speed when airborne and not in contact with any surface

changedHandlingAdjusted hovercar handling to have less friction when sliding sideways This is to encourage more "drifty" turning around corners

fixedPhysicsFixed an uncommon/rare case where it was possible for the hovercar to pass through the terrain of tracks at a high velocity or at certain angles This was most common on ramps, and has been fixed with more checks done with the physics. Note: This may have the side effect of lowering performance.

addedTracksAdded more visual detail to both Island Hopping and Forest Run

Hovercar

Handling

Adjusted hovercar handling to be far more forgiving when airborne
- You will lose much less speed when airborne and not in contact with any surface
Adjusted hovercar handling to have less friction when sliding sideways
- This is to encourage more "drifty" turning around corners
Adjustments made to on-water handling characteristics of the hovercar
- It is now less punishing if you go on the water now (slightly faster plus a small window of keeping original top speed)

Physics

Fixed an uncommon/rare case where it was possible for the hovercar to pass through the terrain of tracks at a high velocity or at certain angles
- This was most common on ramps, and has been fixed with more checks done with the physics. Note: This may have the side effect of lowering performance.

Tracks

Added more visual detail to both Island Hopping and Forest Run

Replays

Added new UI element that allows for changing the speed of the replay camera

More work is being done on the game. All the feedback helps greatly with the development of the game, so keep it coming!
