New Challenges - Dev Log #23

Hey everyone!

Welcome to our latest weekly developer log! Last time we highlighted the upcoming changes to the UI and also the key and controller rebinding system a lot of you are waiting for! You can read more on these here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1290000/announcements/detail/3007826910713243896

Today, we're showing off the new challenge modes coming in 0.5, we're still a few weeks away but will keep slowly dropping teasers, so be sure to keep an eye on our socials too!

Challenge Mode 0.5


This time we have 2 new challenge jobs with a longer level, Back Garden, and a super quick one with the Dirt Bike. We'd like to note again that the main focus of our game is on the satisfying chilled out act of washing, these challenges are just an added extra to give some replayability and extra fun. (4 normal jobs are coming to Career and Freeplay modes in 0.5)

We're excited to hear feedback from having a larger level, especially for the timed challenge mode!

This time, the loadout is slightly tweaked with the Urban X U2 being the power washer equipped, so it may even be a new twist on the map for players that haven't already taken it on in Freeplay mode. Plus, it will make it so it doesn't take quite as long as it does in career mode and you'll be able to get quite a few runs in. Here's the loadouts and times/water for these levels. (These may be tweaked before the 0.5 launch, please let us know your thoughts below!)

We hope everyone will be madly spraying around the Back Garden or very carefully squirting and taking their time to conserve water in the next patch!

With the Dirt Bike, it is something very quick and small that will be able to be restarted and done in very quick succession. We're definitely excited to see the lowest time on this one as it could be really low! Here's the loadouts and times/water currently.

Overall we hope these two levels will offer some interesting challenges and we look forward to revealing new modes in future updates!



Community Map Request Vote 2 Winner & Request For More Suggestions


We'd like to remind everyone of the winner of the last community map request vote which is the Steam Locomotive. We'll be developing this level and it will come in a later update! Who's excited to see this in-game? (This joins the Mini Golf Course which won our first round)

We took all of the job options in the votes from this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1290000/discussions/1/3112530528183413533/

Where the community then voted on their favourites. We have now re-opened that thread for more community suggestions! We'll take ideas from this to put together a 3rd and final vote for a community suggested map to be added to the game. (Please note, the next community vote is for a large vehicle or similar sized level to the fire helicopter.)

Join our Discord ahead of the next vote and to see how all of the other votes panned out:
