Overhaul to Game Speed and Scores
- Jump on the gain train. Game speed now increases at a constant rate, irrelevant of your game speed option. The game speed option now controls how fast you go at the start of the run. When the base game speed (1 chilli) catches up, your game speed will then start to increase.
- One score to rule them all. Now that everyone's on the same game speed for higher scores, this has removed the need to have separate scoreboards for different game speeds. You can now see all scores, even those from different chillies.
- Chilli out! We've added the game speed chilli slider to the end game screen, showing you what game speed you selected and your effort each run, to help you match your gameplay to how spicy you like it.
- A mythical end to scoreless. Instead of mythic items having the scoreless attribute. They now have a mythic attribute and scores gained with these items can be submitted. Get ready to see a new set of high scores for Walled!
- Smashing scoreboards! - Reworked the scoreboards, fixing duplicates when viewing your local scoreboard and displaying incorrect scores. High scores will be updated every 12 hrs. Trials are the exception, and will continue to update every 30 mins due to their time limit. An option to automatically submit your high scores is included to make getting your name on the board simpler!
Don't forget to re-submit those high scores and put yourself back on the leaderboards!
Fire the Cannons!
- Cannon ahead. Speed through the start of the level by catching a cannon ride to your highest achieved star. The cannon's power can get you as far as the 3rd red star. In as quick as 15 seconds.
- Tickets please. To catch a cannon ride, you need to use a cannon pass. Cannon passes are available from Wesley's Wares and certain Missions.
Mission Mayhem!
- Do all the things! Added a whole stack of missions to do with performing certain actions. Bawk, glide, dash, and run your way to more eggs!
- I can has mission eggs? Missions now actually award the eggs they say they do.
- Fully decked out mate. Missions can now require you to be wearing a specific item.
- More of what you love. Love catching Rascal? So do we! Now you can catch the Rascal for two missions each day. Doing so gives you some cannon passes to use. Wanted posters will reappear when you can catch Rascal from missions.
