Now that PAX East is over and done, it's time to deliver you guys another update for the game.
V0.42, now dubbed The Mini Putt Update, adds 9 brand new holes to explore. Several community members expressed an interest in shorter, more traditional mini golf holes without the use of the Influenza Bug, the chipper or the rewind power. So that's what we've delivered here!
We've added a new leaderboard for the course, and we've gone ahead and reset the other boards completely. This is something we will be doing with every major update, as we often make tweaks to the gameplay or the courses themselves.
These courses are a lot of fun, but they are certainly a simplified version of our core vision. So we want to stress that these courses will not be included in our target 45 holes for the major release. These are just some extra fun bits we've added in because our awesome community wanted them.
A few other minor changes have been made, including the pesky hummingbird bug that would send our little friend outside obstacles, especially in the greenhouse. We've also added that the shoulder buttons must be held down when using the right stick to power your shot on a gamepad to avoid accidental flicks.
Changelog is below, and if you restart Steam you should receive the update immediately. See you on the leaderboards!
