Happy Holidays
The holiday season is in full swing, and the Yeti won't be left behind. Earn gifts filled with goodies!

Perhaps even replace that violent tree explosion sound with something new. Keep playing and keep earning. Limited to 2 drops per day with 5 minutes of play time required for each drop.
Maybe with the right combination of cosmetics (and skill) more players can make it onto the expert leaderboard!

The game should run much smoother now. Reduced unnecessary physics operations and cull objects which are not longer important to game mechanics.

Performance Improvements (part 1)
We're working to improve performance on lower end systems. We still have much to learn about the right and the wrong way to do things in Godot. As we get smarter, we'll keep making things smoother. For this release, we're changing how the lighting friendly background tiles work.

Chat Decides Your Fate
Connect YetiFree to your Twitch channel and your chat will periodically get a chance to vote on modifiers to apply to your run. Some modifiers will empower the Yeti. Others... not so much.
You can enable the new Twitch integration by navigating to the Twitch button on the main menu. You will be prompted to input your Twitch channel name into the box and then press connect! If everything went well, you can test the connectivity by typing in your chat either #A or #B.
To enable Twitch modifiers for a game, you can enable the new Twitch button on the difficulty select screen. During a game, your Twitch Chat will get 30 seconds to vote on one of two modifiers displayed. Chat can vote by typing either #A or #B in your chat. Once the voting time has elapsed, the winning modifier will be displayed and then applied to your game. The game modifier will then be active for 30 seconds, after which the modifier will be disabled and a new round of voting will begin.
Game Modifiers:

Yetizilla: Double the size of the Yeti.
Mini Me: Shrink the size of the Yeti in half.
AHHHHH!: Gain max rage.
Tranquilized: Cut your rage bar in half.
Power Hour: Greatly increase your speed.
Turtle Spirit: Greatly decrease your speed.
Master of Stealth: Yeti gains stealth making it harder to be detected by the Ski Patrol.
I Am Moose: Gain unlimited moose power.
Avalanche: Unleash an avalanche.
Side of Cilantro: Yeti only gains points and rage from eating trees.
Fun Police: Ski Patrol spawn more frequently.
Let It Rain: Ski Patrol throw dynamite more frequently.
Drugged Moose: Yeti is tipsy and control becomes more difficult.
Left is Right: Controls are inverted. Left to go right, Right to go left.
Bubble Boy: The Yeti now bounces off all obstacles.
Blindfolded: The game interface is hidden.
Twitch Leaderboard
Compete for the top score and time spots on the new Twitch specific leaderboards. These new leaderboards will rank you against other Twitch streamers that have played with Twitch modifiers enabled. Will your chat make it an easy climb to the top or will they make you really work for it. Only one way to find out.

No software is perfect. Not even our perfect software. Here's an idea of what we've tried to fix this patch.

Fixed night mode tooltip to correctly state 100,000 points are needed to unlock
Fixed game crash when retrying
Updated Godot engine in the hopes of improving performance and reducing other crashes
We also made a gameplay change:

Avalanche energy gain now has a limit per period of time. This prevents ski patrol from instantly charging up the avalanche right after spawn by multiple dynamites going off. This should make expert mode more possible (but is still very difficult). I am still hopeful someone will find a way to crack it without us having to make it easier.
