What better way to kick off the year than with the first post Early Access launch update? Got tons of new improvements and fixes ready for you to check out!

• Unikorches ragdolls are back! They bounce and roll around after defeating them.
• Fixed an issue where the player could still select one of the options on the Level Select side menu after opening up the options menu.
• Updated controls for all menus so you can use ASWD like in other modern PC games while using keyboard + mouse for navigating as an option. Previously, it was the arrow keys, which didn’t match the game’s control scheme.
• Updated game artwork with the help of Dusky! She made the new character art of Brooke Atomica and the Enforcer. Check out her game Havoc Fox on Twitter @HavocFoxGame. She’s got more slick artwork on her personal account @HavocDusk.
• Buffed controller aim assist, making it easier to lock onto enemies. 
• Added tiny initial delay when firing and aiming with the right stick, giving you a moment to aim at enemies before firing. Using weapons like the Surfboard would miss almost every time on the initial shot.
• Improved various environment and object graphics across all levels, including the floating platforms in Enter the Dam, the treasure chests in Ancient Tree, and new background elements in Going Electric
• (Finally!) improved the walljump while using a controller so if you jump over a ledge to land onto the ground, Brooke doesn’t keep her directional lock like while she’s sliding down the wall, making it easier to shoot at enemies.
• Fixed an issue where the level finished screen would display a category (i.e. number of diamonds collected) as 100% if the count was barely under the requirement. It now correctly displays 99% to prevent any confusion.
• Fixed an issue where data servers set on fire still had their fire effect activated after it was destroyed. Also added in a snap system for data servers so now it’s easier to aim at them with a controller.
• Patched out the ability to dash straight off a ledge and then dash again while in the air. This exploit allowed for further outward reach than intended.
• Changed the vents in Hydro Rapids City so Brooke always lands on the ground instead of where the vent lands. It looked a bit strange when she would land before the vent top came down.
• Rearranged the start of the first open vertical climb section in Going Electric so that you no longer can get stuck in the bottom-right area after activating the platform switcher.
• Adjusted the cell phone pause menu so you can no longer glitch it when exiting the confirm menu and reselecting an app as quickly as possible.
• Adjusted generators in Going Electric so their idle speed is a bit faster, this should help reduce wait time to begin attacking them while transformed on the electrical lines.
• Added visual effects to communicate better that friendly cannons in Winter Assault are only usable once.
• Fixed an issue where the follow camera was too stiff in the playable build versions compared to the version I was working on in-engine.
• Reworked the jumping bamboo obstacles in Ancient Tree so they’re (hopefully) less glitchy.
• Found and solved an issue where a Snowman was being activated by an Electric Blitz nearby on accident in Winter Assault.
• Tracked down and solved the issue where rolling snowballs always skip forward suddenly before rolling smoothly down the hill.

I hope this new update makes your 2022 just a bit better! More updates will be coming up whenever they’re ready, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @SlyBalto for updates on fixes and visual improvements. I got something pretty crazy in the works and you don't wanna miss it!
