We've been hard at work adding a bunch of new features to the game, so please enjoy quite possibly a bit much. Most notably, there's a new powerup called zip. Click once to place your beacon, click again to zip back there. We've also added 3 major features to the editor, including domes, text, and filters. For a video on how to use all this stuff, click here.
The full list of changes are below. This update was initially available to beta branch testers for the last week, so they've suffered through some minor bugs so you can have a slightly better experience with all this new stuff. Enjoy!
Happy Dodging,
