A lot of things have changed in this new version including but not limited to: an entire menu redo, 2 new minigames (1 is practice only though), new challenge system, new loading system, new joining system, new music, millions of bug fixes, and new cosmetics!
A lot of work has gone into this update, however it is mostly visual. While visual updates are great for when people play, they tend to not attract people back like gameplay changes do. That's why 2.59 will be a revolutionary update!
2.59 will completely rework tons of minigames adding a whole new level of connectivity player to player. Instead of feeling like a solo game, you'll be able to see how others are doing and play even more games! This update will rework a ton of multiplayer madness so be ready for a wait! This update will come in smaller chunks.
2.59 Plan:
P-2.59-A will start the update sequence off by changing a singular minigame into the new version
P-2.59-B will refine that mode to fully receive feedback on the new minigame structure
P-2.59-C will start to change more minigames into this new mode
P-2.59-D will refine all minigames that have been improved, while maybe changing more
P-2.59-E will hopefully have everything smoothed out to play
**All of this is subject to change and deletion**
