In version 0.3.0, we improved the learning experience for first-time players and added visual polish.
In-Game Tutorial
Most folks prefer to "learn by doing." This why we replaced our "How to Play" videos with an interactive, in-game tutorial! This new format allows you to immediately put the techniques being taught into practice and get feedback in real-time.
Even if you already know how to play, consider checking out the tutorial. It only takes a few minutes and you might fill some knowledge gaps you didn't realize you had!
Visual Improvements
While the graphics changes are subtle, they add variety and liveliness to the alley atmosphere. These include:
- Shadows from rolling clouds and the building structure
- Subtle post-processing effects to improve the look of the lighting
- An additional slow-mo replay perspective
Nearing v1.0
As mentioned in our last update, we're close to wrapping up our development efforts for Bowling Hills. While new features are never completely off the table, we're happy with what we've built and are ready to move on to the next project. You can tentatively expect a formal announcement of version 1.0 in the coming weeks.
Thank you so much to all those who participated in the early access program!
