Our fans and testers need to play the latest content in order to provide feedback as we progress with the development. Right now our focus is to put the finishing touches on the Tunnel Boat.

Why is the tutorial greyed out in the menu? We are reworking the tutorial levels to include the latest changes to the game.

Why doesn't the boat fully flip over? We are working on the random flightiness of the boat when it reaches that threshold of instability, as well as the consequence (damage) for rolling or flipping.

Quick events seem broken.. I can't possibly win? We are still refining the speed and acceleration of the player and AI.

What do I do in the showroom and garage? Nothing but admire the view for just a little while longer. :) We are integrating the Steam API to be used in the Showroom and working on the Garage customization UI. Soon enough these areas will have working utility.

Where can I submit feedback? On the Steam discussion boards or on our website here: FEEDBACK

The game will be updated frequently as we make additional changes. Thank you to all of our testers for playing and submitting feedback.
