Early Access v9 - Challenge your friends!


It’s update time again! We’re really getting close to the finish line, meaning that this will be the final update before we go for the full-blown release. It’s been a great run, and we’d really like to thank all of you for being a part of the process so far.

This last Early Access update is not a small one! We revamped a big part of the interface, and you can now challenge your friends after you’ve beaten them on the leaderboards. If you’re looking for a new kind of single-player challenge, be sure to check out the new bonus levels!

We don’t have a final release date planned yet, but we’re aiming to go gold in about a month or two. If you want be kept up to date, our Facebook and Twitter will have more info as we get closer to launch!

Enjoy!

Features:

• Challenge your friends! Whenever you beat one of your friends’ highscores, you have the option to challenge them to take on your times. You will see who challenged you when you open the game, but you also have the option to receive the messages directly in Steam!
• Interface Overhaul (work-in-progress). As we’re gearing up towards launch, we’re in the middle of a big overhaul for the interface. Most of it is fully functional, but you might run into some parts that are still under construction, they will be fixed soon! ;)
• Bonus levels. After getting gold on all the levels in a batch, you’ll unlock the bonus level. These levels are about collecting all the coins as fast as possible, and if your time is fast enough you’ll unlock a new skin!

New Levels:

• Bonus1-5. These levels are pretty hard!

Characters/Skins:

• Bonus 1: Swan Henk. (most of you have this skin unlocked already, but this is the new way of unlocking it)
• Bonus 2: Corporate Betsy.
• Bonus 3: Gabber Betsy. (same story here, again, this is the new way of unlocking her)
• Bonus 4: IT Neil.
• Bonus 5: Zombie Neil.

Misc:

• We fixed a whoooole bunch of small things, but whenever your run into something that’s broken be sure to let us know in the Bugs & Feedback thread on the forums! As we’re getting ready for the full release we really want to squash all of the remaining bugs!

Community highlights:
A few weeks ago we held a big Christmas marathon event and we’d like to thank all of you for running with us! The distance walked by all players during the marathon was added up and in the end we walked ~575 kilometers! Pretty amazing when you realize that Henk’s height is about 5 centimeters. Every set amount of kilometers a reward was unlocked, you can still check them all out here.
