Greetings, Champions!

Your comfort is top priority for us! In this update we bring you several new features to make your grappling hook experience more fluid and easy to play! So sit comfortably and let's get this match started!

New

1. Open Options/ Game tab
2. Set your height
3. Sit comfortably
4. Press [Calibrate]. As a result the world will offset to your desired height.
