All New Huge Update!

Special Note: This is our last week in early access! The game is 50% off this week and looking to get back lots of feedback before launch. Get it while its cheep ;)

We have spent the last month redesigning aspects of the game to make it more fun, challenging and polished. Below are a list of the changes. This is quite a dramatic update so feedback is greatly appreciated!

All new redesigned gameplay: You now have to collect all hoops within 10 minutes to pass each island. Forest Island has 150 hoops, Volcano Island has 175 hoops, and all new Desert Island has 200 hoops. You now must complete each level to unlock the next one. Depending on how fast you complete each level you will receive Gold, Silver, or Bronze. We also updated how the rocket boosters work. Collect the blue spirals now to gain more rocket booster. Be thoughtful in when you choose to collect the blue spirals as you can easily run out of booster…

New Map and Scenery Upgrade: We have added a 3rd Island! Desert Island. Using Terrain Composer 2 for Unity we have create a beautiful awesome desert/ canyon environment! Every 2 minutes a sand storm will occur making visibility hard and tricky, so watch out ;) We have also done some tweaking to the lighting and scenery on the other two islands as well as upgraded the water shaders. There are also some performance improvements as we upgraded to a newer version of Unity. Also note, Forest Island has a cool new lighthouse with light effects! Here is a screenshot of the new island:



New Sound and Music: Each island now has it's own soundtrack. Composed and created by the developer himself haha. So let me know what you think. There are also a couple new sound effects to replace the old ones.

Updated User Interface: We have done some updates to the UI, so expect a cleaner and more user friendly look. Here us a look at the main menu.

We are nearing launch day soon! So these two weeks will be the final weeks in early access. If you find any bugs are have any suggestions now is the time to report them, so we can work them into the final build!

We will be adding new screenshots and videos/trailers to the store in the coming weeks.

Note: This update applies to the main branch, the (glider sim) beta branch has not yet been updated.
