Minor changes

[p]A couple minor things:[/p]

  • [p]The interface has been tweaked, and more info has been added to the UI in the Hub World.[/p]
  • [p]A couple other bug fixes.[/p]
[p]Happy Tiring![/p]

New "Spare Course": Deja Vu Desert!

[p]There's a new course in the full version: Deja Vu Desert. This one's interesting (to me) because it's a remake of another level. .. from a completely different game. .. from 28 years ago.[/p][p][/p][p]It's part of what will be a set of "Spare Courses" (i.e., a thematic "Special World"). Requirements for opening the course might change (maybe a number of S ranks?). For now, it just requires a hefty number of Golden Hubcaps. You'll need S ranks now.[/p][p][/p][p]Hub world's also been tweaked to centralize more of the levels to make it all more easily accessible. Also, bug fixes. And some new music tracks in some of the courses. Also some interface tweaks.[/p][p][/p][p]Look for a Halloween-relevant course (also in the works) and some spooky hats, which I'll hopefully actually get out before 31 October.[/p][p][/p][p]Also, the game's something like 60 cents (USD) right now during this sale. You can buy copies for five of your friends for the price of a cup of coffee or something.[/p][p][/p][p]Happy Tiring![/p][p][/p][p] [/p]

NEW COURSE: Snowblind Grind! (not an ice level)

[p]Slalom down hills, avoid rolling spiked balls, and push blocks around. It's fun for the whole family!.. and, also, it's not an ice level![/p][p][/p][p]As always, feedback is welcome. Next up is probably some new music tracks to differentiate the courses a little bit.[/p][p][/p][p]Happy Tiring![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Pretty substantial bugfix

[p]Fixed a major bug where bouncing around from one "camera zone" to another can completely botch the camera. Fixed some minor bugs, too.[/p][p][/p][p]New course soon? Happy Tiring![/p]

... "without touching a Valve Cap?"

Minor update: The game now keeps track of the lowest number of Valve Caps you've collected when you've cleared a Course. You'll see that "worst" record on the WINNER! screen if you'd already cleared the Course first. (Otherwise, your minimum is your maximum, because that's how numbers work.)

There's also an Achievement for clearing a Course without collecting any Valve Caps.

Happy Tiring!
