Our first update since hitting Steam Early Access is here, addressing most of the feedback gathered from our awesome community members. Your input via The Bugs and The Official Ideas discussion hasn't gone unnoticed, and we thank you for your contributions.
You will find the change log below, but major implementations include a Restart Hole button, cursor lock during gameplay, ability to turn off sound effects and some minor tweaks to certain holes. The update is available right now via Steam - if it doesn't download automatically, restart your client and you should receive it.
So where to now? Next week we're aiming to give you guys the first development feature vote, and we may even have some cool T-Shirt design contest for those who feel like getting a little creative. Christian is currently at GDC while Paul is at home working on the game, so progress is moving along nicely.
Keep the feedback coming, keep fighting on the leaderboards, and we'll speak to you all soon!
