Overview
In this latest update, we have included a whole host of exciting new features to enhance your gaming experience.
First off, we're thrilled to introduce a completely new challenge track "Jump & Turn". It's a fresh addition to our intermediate challenge tracks. Get ready to conquer new obstacles and compete for the best time!
We know how important customization is, which is why we have added more bike color options! From metallic colors to plastic and flip-flop/chameleon hues, the PeakProwler bike range is now more vibrant than ever. Choose your color and stand out from the crowd!
Keeping track of your game progress is now easier with the integration of Steam Cloud Save. No more worries about losing your progress, as your data is securely stored in the cloud.
In addition, we have introduced the Steam Leaderboards. Compare your best track times with friends and other players from around the world. It's time to show off your skills!
We've also worked on bug fixes and performance improvements. We've optimized shadows, fixed some specific challenge & hot seat mode bugs, and made other under-the-hood improvements for smoother gameplay.
