Hi everyone!
In this update, we've paid special attention to the game’s difficulty and balance as well as a number of other things that you—our dear players— told us about in your feedback. Please continue to share your thoughts with us: it helps us make the game better!
We have made Cakewalk and Hike modes easier. Both new players and those who appreciate more relaxed gameplay will find these modes more comfortable.
At the same time, we haven’t forgotten about those who like a good challenge. Hard difficulty modes have become smoother while keeping their toughness intact.
Please give this update a try and share your impressions with us. Also, be sure to enable the "Send data to the developers" option in the settings: it will help us make the game even better.
