Hey everyone!
We've got a nice and big update for you today! This one adds a ton of balancing and improvements, as well as new music, new story beats, and unlocks the last areas of Infinity's Edge mode, including the final-final boss. We also took many Run Challenges down a notch, to make them shorter and more accessible to everyone. You'll also be able to select whichever of the menus you liked best, from all our previous updates, or even go back to vanilla 1.0 version if that's what you prefer!
Besides those main points, it includes a ton of fixes, improvements and balancing based off our community's feedback. Thanks you guys, you are awesome! <3
