This round of updates has been a combination of bug fixes, new/improved features, and changes to art and content. In other words, a bit of everything.
An art pass has been made to the ice assets for their respective stages. The plan from here is to redesign the second two stages to make better use of the new art and features, so keep an eye out for that!
The next biggest change players will see is the all new player name editor which can be accessed during character select. Names the players choose will display during personalized messages such as the stats screen and the leader-board.
The other changes are mainly improvements to functionality and finish. These include new music, improved creature behaviors, and fixes that improve issues with player input. Read below for more info!
