BAWK BAWK UPDATE 1.4

Patch Notes for version 1.4
Release date: 2023/10/04

[h2]PAX Patch[/h2]
Time to hit the road! - We recently showcased at Avcon and AVCon X Rundle Mall Plaza and now we are headed to Melbourne! We will be showcasing at PAX Australia this weekend and if you’re there make sure to come past and say hello!

[h2]Crocs, Powers and Profile[/h2]
Confident Crocs - Some crocodiles seem to have grown bigger heads now that they have ripple and splash effects. Messy Muds has been decked out with 2 new bonus levels where the new big headed crocs will be hard to miss.
Powers Pizzazz - Clucky now has some extra flair when dashing and slowing time.
Profile Preferences - Players now have more control over what data they send to our servers. We don’t collect any information apart from what’s needed for the highscores. However now you can choose if you want to block the game’s access to our servers completely. You can also delete all data ever sent to our servers.

Note: We have done a lot of backend changes in preparation for our release on Android and iOS.
