CROSS PLAY is here!
Heyho Flingers! Starting September 4th, you will be able to play Fling to the Finish on Steam, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, the PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. As a Steam user, this may not seem like big news. Perhaps it may seem like small, unimportant news. You m
Heyho Flingers!
Starting September 4th, you will be able to play Fling to the Finish on Steam, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, the PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. As a Steam user, this may not seem like big news. Perhaps it may seem like small, unimportant news. You may feel that this is of note only to plebeians who do not have the sense to play on this platform and should finally use a PC like you've been telling them to all the time. If that's the case, the actual big news is that these releases include crossplay, meaning that your misguided friends who are on consoles can now play with you! We now have the technology to fling our friends on completely different hardware. Exciting stuff. These simultaneous releases will also bring an influx of new players to race against online, so even if you're a veteran player this could be a great time to use your advanced flinging skills to win races against the hordes of newbies joining the game.
Watch on YouTube
We also have some upcoming Discord events to look forward to! Over the next couple weeks, we will be announcing some community events that will be taking place on our Discord server to coincide with the release of crossplay. Please join us there to celebrate the release of the game, race some other players, and chat with the developers. We will also be on the lookout for bugs, so any new reports that come in with this update will be appreciated.
Bugfixes:
Fixed falling meteors in Perilous Paradise level for non-hosts (non-master clients)
Fixed meteors not spawning
Fixed meteors not moving sometimes
Fixed meteors colliding but not exploding
Fixed explosion effects playing but not bouncing players around
Fixed falling dice in Clams Casino in online mode
Fixed dice not spawning
Fixed out-of-sync dice
Fixed out-of-sync falling balls in Pete’s Playhouse in online mode
Fixed out-of-sync falling bowling balls in the Bowling level in online mode
Fixed cork not popping for everyone in online mode in Wet Willy’s Waterpark and Sunny Heights
Fix worm’s teeth not breaking for everyone in online mode in Worms in Space
Fixed an issue in online mode where the rope would get immediately after a respawn, but not trigger a second respawn, leaving players in a permanently split state until falling off and respawning.
This bug was most obvious in “They’re Here”, at any of the laser platform sections. If players stick to the laser platform after getting the rope cut, the rope would get cut again on respawn but not respawn a second time. This is now fixed.
Fixed a bug in the banner customization screen in the main menu, where after playing an online race and returning to the main menu, the selected banner would not update on the customization screen until after closing it and then re-opening it.
Fixed a bug where the "3..2..1...GO!" Countdown timer music would get louder and louder on every return to main menu and then new level start. Best Regards, SplitSide Games entangled with Daedalic Entertainment

Hey Flingers!
Today we're launching a play for free event running March 13-16. Now people who have been on the fence about playing can hop off the fence, get tangled around the poles of said fence, and argue with their partner who said getting near the fence was a bad idea.
This event will also bring with it a new quality of life update with a lot of improvements that will make Fling to the Finish more polished and fun as we prepare for our full release. We look forward to more people getting to try the game and join our community!
Additions:

The Bomb Run and Coin Frenzy gamemodes have been added to Perilous Paradise.
Level Improvements:

We’ve improved the visuals of Pete’s Playhouse. Keep an eye out for the new mascot Pizza Pete!
In Sunny Heights and Wet Willy’s Waterpark, the corks now POP when a player pulls them out. Along with being more fun, this helps the cork get out of the way so they don’t get stuck back in the whole.
The blue and red speed boost pads now have visual effects and sound effects when a player uses them.
We’ve identified levels that have been frustrating players and made them more enjoyable to play through! We altered many obstacles with this goal in mind in the following levels:
Worms in Space • All Worm bridges are wider. • The section where the worms are biting onto the rotating asteroids has been simplified. • The final section before the finish line has been altered. • The obstacle order has been rearranged so that the difficulty scales more smoothly. • Many platforms are larger and easier to land on.
Winding Woods • The two large ferris wheels have been changed so that the players stick to the gears themselves. This is more straightforward while being more fun to try to go fast. • The golfing section has been made slightly easier by filling in the pit on the left. The nails that block the ball’s path have also been rearranged. • Changed the shape and placements of the acorn platforms • Many logs that the player climbs over are wider.
Loony Lanes • Improved the placements of the vinyl discs so that the player doesn’t get caught on the edge of them. • The starter bowling lanes are now harder to fall off of. • The conveyor belt with the pins on them is now slower. • The last pins that the player must ride on now slow down a little where the player attaches to them.
Mushy Mushrooms • In the final section, the bumpers have been removed from the bottom of the mushroom vines. • The golf section is made slightly easier by covering the pit on the right. • Some platforms have been made wider so they’re easier to land on.
Pete’s Playhouse • Some lasers in the laser maze have been rearranged so that it’s easier to navigate. • Added a checkpoint in front of the shape puzzle for players who accidently fall off in this area.
Pinball Panic • The major catch-up obstacle has been changed so now there are only two buttons instead of four. • On the rotating bumper pole obstacles, two of the four poles have been removed so there is more time and space to jump between them.
Sunny Heights • Removed the TNT from the long ziplining section. • Rotated one of the poles in the long ziplining section so it’s easier to navigate around. • The catch-up cork obstacle is easier to pull out and POPs out of the way when pulled.
Kooky’s Canyons • In the final section, some TNTs have been removed and re-arranged. • One of the Laser UFOs have been removed in every gamemode except Race. • The road platforms have been made slightly wider in the final section.
Wet Willy’s Waterpark • The slide pieces that are shaped like quarter pipes are now longer so the gaps between them are smaller. • The catch-up cork obstacle is easier to pull out and POPs out of the way when pulled.
Balancing

In Campaign Mode, all the time requirements to receive ducks have been balanced in every game mode. They now use real statistics from the Steam Leaderboards so that the true difficulty of each level is reflected in every time requirement.
We’ve adjusted the duck requirements to unlock new levels so that it is more consistent.
We’ve changed the order in which gamemodes are unlocked in a way we believe will be more fun to play through. • This includes adding the gamemode “Fling’damentals” which is a simple vanilla version of the map that must be completed first before the other gamemodes.
Quality of Life Improvements

We’ve made the animations for unlocking new levels and gamemodes in Campaign much faster. • You can also now hold a button to speed through these unlock animations. • We’ve removed the overarching “Worlds” in Campaign so now there are just Levels. This is easier and faster to navigate through.
How many Ducks you’ve received is now displayed in the results screen for every campaign gamemode. They are also displayed in the leaderboard screen for the Duck Hunt gamemode.
We’ve gone through the Steam Leaderboard times in all the game modes and removed times that used old glitches. These glitches are no longer possible so it was unfair for players trying to beat those times.
There is now a sound that indicates that the Team Setup screen is about to end.
Major Bug Fixes:

Steam Leaderboards for Duck Hunt now include how many ducks were actually collected. This eliminates the issue where players could post faster times by avoiding picking up the Ducks. Steam Leaderboards for Duck Hunt have been reset due to this.
We’ve improved the syncing of many objects that are essential to the functioning of the different game modes. Some of them include: • The Bomb in Bomb Run • The Anvil ability in Race • The Golf Balls in levels with golfing
Bug Fixes:

Fixed an issue where the prompt to remind players how to stick to buttons in the main menu would not show up.
We’ve adjusted the hitboxes for many checkpoints that would sometimes be missed if a team got an ability that put them higher in the air than expected.
We’ve adjusted many deathzones to avoid times when players are falling to death for longer than expected.
Fixed an issue where the Undead Hands would be caught going into the ground during the intro animation in Haunted Highway.
Rotated the boat the players start on in Perilous Paradise to increase framerates at the start of the level.
Fixed some graphical issues in Pharoah’s Freeway like the waterfall shaders and intro camera animation.
Improved some background images that were blurry.

Winter Season 2022 - Conclusion
Team Snowman has won the Winter Season once again! Here’s what Captain Jingle had to say about his team’s defeat: "Ugh, I can't believe I lost to that frosty fool again. I mean, seriously, how does a snowman even have the energy to win a race? Let alone the sentience! And don't e
Team Snowman has won the Winter Season once again!
Here’s what Captain Jingle had to say about his team’s defeat:
"Ugh, I can't believe I lost to that frosty fool again. I mean, seriously, how does a snowman even have the energy to win a race? Let alone the sentience! And don't even get me started on his unfair advantage. I mean, come on, he's made of snow. Once he gets going he snowballs out of control straight to the finish line. Talk about a slippery slope! But fear not, dear friends and fans. I won't let this loss “chill” my spirit. I'll be back, and I'll be ready to “heat” things up on the slopes. Until then, I'll have to "warm" up to the idea of second place. For now.”
Additions

Players that chose Team Snowman will receive an exclusive skin for the Chimpy-Monkey character where he’s wearing a holiday sweater!
Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where the Elevator in Winding Woods wouldn’t show up to players who are playing online but aren’t the host.
We are aware of a bug that prevents players from finishing the tutorial in online multiplayer.
Specifically the UFO platforms that you stick to to progress to the next section do not show up for the computer that isn't the host of the session. It is our topmost priority to fix this bug and release a patch soon.
Have a great start into the year!

BRRRR it’s cold in here! The snow is falling in Fling to the Finish! While Team Jolly’s pride was damaged in last year’s loss, their holiday cheer has returned stronger than ever!
In a recent press conference, Captain Jingle passionately called out Team Snowman: “Hey snowman, I heard you had the nerve to call yourself the fastest thing on the slopes. Well let me tell you, you couldn't even beat a gumdrop in a race fair and square. In fact, I bet you couldn't even beat a string of tinsel. So why don't you step up and prove me wrong in a rematch? I'll even give you a head start. Let's see who's the real champ. And don't worry, I won't tell Frosty. He might not like to hear that his buddy is a loser.”
Looks like Team Jolly has a new definition of holiday spirit this year!

Fling-a-thon Introduction:
(Live from July 25th to August 8th)
The first annual Fling-a-thon is the most complete Community Competition to date! You must choose between Team Modern or Team Ancient. Which sports era will win!? Choosing a team will grant you themed Skins and now Stickers and Banners as well so you can really customize how you’ll show off your team spirit.
Fling-a-thon Tournaments:
Earn points for your team by competing in 3-race Tournaments. Tournaments can be played in Matchmaking, but now, they can also be played in Private Race (local and online). Tournaments now conclude with a victory celebration where the winning team will take to the pedestal and make their opponents bask in their Fling-glory!
New Gamemode: Ring-a-thon!
Introducing a brand new gamemode for Campaign. Ring-a-thon! Blast through speed-boosting rings while dodging javelin attacks from above! The speed-boosting rings send the player soaring over previously troublesome obstacles and hitting speeds never before reachable.
Our team loves how the boost-rings really turn the level-design on its head. It’s extremely satisfying to master completely new routes at such high speeds. It’s extremely addictive to speed run.
Fling-a-thon Ring Race: For the duration of the event, all races (including 3-Race Tournaments and one-shot Races) will feature the speed-boosting rings and javelins from the Ring-a-thon gamemode. This will spice up the normal multiplayer races with the death-defying speed of the boost-rings and intensity of the javelins.
Progression System:
This update brings a leveling and progression system we’re really proud of! Gone are the days of slowly unlocking new characters in Campaign and Campaign alone. Now you have a Rank which you can increase by getting Experience Points from doing well in any gamemode in Fling!
Every rank you progress grants you an Unlock Token which can be redeemed in a fully functional Rube-Goldberg-like contraption in the 3D menu. The contraption presents you with 3 capsule-toys filled with either a Character, Skin, Sticker or Banner! But only 1 of the 3 rewards can be yours! Choose wisely!
Player Banners:
What’s a Sticker or Banner you ask? You can now customize how you represent yourself online with funny and stylish Banners and Stickers. Your Rank is also displayed on your banner so you can show off your experience and gain worldly prestige!
Fling-a-thon Rewards:
The winning team of the Fling-a-thon will receive an exclusive skin, sticker and banner so they can forever remind their opponents of this day in Fling history. What day in history you may ask? August 8th, the end of the event.
Mac Release:
Fling’s Mac version is finally released in early access! We’re excited to reach all those new players out there. Tell your friends! If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out on the Steam Forum or our Discord Channel.
Frequently Asked Questions:
I’ve played Fling to the Finish before. How will the new progression system affect my previous progression?
While you will start at level 0 along with newer players, you will keep all the characters and skins you’ve already unlocked. Anything you didn’t unlock from the old campaign progression will now be available to unlock from the new progression system!
What about the racetracks that I unlocked before this update?
All racetracks and gamemodes that you already unlocked will stay unlocked. The racetrack and gamemode progression system is unchanged.
Quality of Life improvements:
Players can now return to the previous menu by holding a button on their controller or keyboard instead of physically moving to the back button and sticking to it
3D menu buttons that have an alternate hold input now take less time to activate when that input is held
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug where respawning a team with one player still sticking to a surface would sometimes cause that player to teleport back to the surface they were stuck to before respawning
Fixed a bug where “Press A or Space to join” prompt would never disappear in certain instances

Hey Flingers! With the new level out, we thought now would be a good time to crack down on all the current major bugs! A lot of players brought up online desync issues in Worms in Space and other levels which appear to get worse the longer you play. These issues are fixed! There are many other bug fixes, optimizations and improvements so feel free to check them out below.
Quality of Life improvements:

Improved the tutorial before the main menu to better explain all the different ways you can create a team online and locally.
Optimizations:

Reduced the size of many textures in Perilous Paradise which were increasing the game’s download size unnecessarily.
Fixed an issue where multiple cameras were rendering on top of each other during level cinematics. This will improve performance on medium and low end machines.
Optimized all Water and Fog shaders which should improve performance on low end machines.
Bug Fixes:

Fixed a major issue where the level loaded after Perilous Paradise would become unplayable online due to desync.
Fixed a major issue where Worms in Space would become unplayable online due to desync.
Fixed many levels which would sometimes become unplayable due to online desync (Pharaoh’s Freeway, Pete’s Play Palace, Haunted Highway, Winding Woods, Perilous Paradise).
Fixed a major issue where returning to the team setup screen would break if a player left during the race.
Removed many game breaking shortcuts in the Perilous Paradise level.
Fixed issue where a series of random letters will appear over another player’s head instead of their Steam username.
For new players, settings in the Online Tab will now start at their correct defaults (displaying names over other characters is now the default).
In the Demo, the time left in the demo will be displayed in the main menu again (this was accidently removed during the original 3D Menu update).
Your Username will no longer appear in your own friend’s list.

Hello Everyone!
We have a brand new level for you along with some essential improvements to the 3D menu!
Perilous Paradise:
Avast ye! Our lead level designer, Andre, did an amazing job with the new level. Your journey begins on a pirate ship sailing on the open seas. Get your booty to the cannon to be the first Flinger blasted off onto shore. Traverse the beachy jungle but be wary of the sand beneath your feet, for a crab can strike at any moment. Man the cannon on the shore and blast off again straight into the open air. But what’s this? A rumbling from down under reveals a beach resort right in the center of an active volcano. What madness! You must scale the treacherous volcano and get through the lava-filled resort if you want to claim victory.
New Content:

Perilous Paradise: 1 race mode and 2 campaign modes.
New Character to be unlocked in Campaign Progression.
Quality of Life improvements:

New and improved Game Invite screen
User interface visual improvements.
Your steam friends are now organized based on whether or not they are currently playing Fling.
The mouse cursor now only displays when you start moving the mouse. This avoids a lot of annoying scenarios where it was getting in the way.
Room code can now be copied by clicking on it or by pressing CTRL + V. This works even if the room code is hidden which is useful for streamers.
Added a new Online tab in the Settings screen
Added option to toggle other player names over their characters in levels
Added option to toggle the current player's name over their characters in levels
Added option to toggle an arrow indicating the current player's characters in levels
Moved Room Code Visibility option from General to Online settings
Moved Server Region dropdown option from General to Online settings
Bug Fixes:
Alt-tabbing out of the game will no longer keep the mouse cursor locked to the game window
Friend invites can no longer be spammed
Some buttons in the 3D menu no longer remain non-interactive for the new host after the previous host leaves
See you "in paradise",

Hey Flingers! This is the most exciting update for our team yet!
Partner Matchmaking:
Our most requested feature is here! Partner Matchmaking! If you’re a player who’s a bit lacking in the gamer-friend department then you’re in luck. Partner Matchmaking allows you to queue up into random matchmaking all by yourself and you’ll be matched up with a partner. You can play through the Campaign with that partner but you can also queue up into Race mode all by yourself as well.
3D Menu:
The main menu and specifically the team setup screen has always been a huge thorn in the side of new players. With this update we completely remade the main menu from the ground up. Gone are the days of navigating a boring 2D dimensional menu. Now, you control the entire menu by rolling around your Flinger and sticking to buttons to select them. Not only is it a lot of fun (watch out for the TNT) but it’s a lot easier to set up teams this way!

Other Improvements:
You can now queue up for Campaign Matchmaking where previously you could only matchmake in Race mode.
You can invite friends anywhere in the main menu where previously you could only invite them in the team setup screen.
There is a tutorial the first time you load up the new menu which shows you the controls and how to navigate the menu.
What’s Next:
In the next update we’re adding a lot of quality of life improvements to help you interact with the new players you’ll be matchmaking with. This will mean being able to identify other players by their Steam name more frequently and easily send them friend invites so you can play with them whenever you like.
Best Regards, Daedalic Entertainment & Team Splitside

Bug Fixes:

Upgraded Unity version from 2019.4.29f1 to 2019.4.30f1 to fix a Unity sided crash on launch issue on certain dual screen setups (more details here: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/build-crashes-when-launching-via-cmd-with-monitor-2-while-the-two-monitors-have-different-monitor-scale)
Now more Graphics APIs can be used depending on your device: DirectX11 (previously the only available API), OpenGLCore, OpenGLES2, OpenGLES3, and Vulkan. Unity will automatically determine the best Graphics API to utilize for each device. This change should not make any difference, but it may fix level loading issues reported by a few players.
