Oh Baby Kart News

[h3] Defender mode is here! [/h3] Try to get the highest score possible with a group of fellow racers. Protect the base from chickens with knives, bulls and even turtles with canons.
[h3] Team up to compete on the Group Leaderboard [/h3] To kick start this mode we are giving 500 BP to each person in the top 100 teams on the Chicken Defender Leaderboard (you can set a score with multiple teams, max 3000 BP per person). Leaderboard will reset on December 21st.


With Defender Mode coming in, we have temporarily rotated Duo Grand Prix mode out. We would like to work with our community to try and create more rotating game modes.


As the new players arrive, we have re-introduced Grand Prix and Grand Prix PRO (instead of PRO replacing the casual Grand Prix). Grand Prix PRO is once again unlocked at level 30.


We heard you out. Some cups are too difficult for players and have a very steep learning curve. RR cups 1-14 have had difficulty tweaks but we have kept cups 15 onwards as is, as we feel the rewards are equal to the effort required to beat these cups.


The weekly progression rewards have been adjusted. We have added a special Scrap Box instead of certain BP increments.


New Battle Pass is here! You can no longer purchase the Dino Pass, with that we introduce the new Pirate Pass - full of new goodies, a unique skin and Pirate loot boxes! As always, you KEEP THE BATTLE PASSES you have previously purchased.

[h3] GAMEPLAY CHANGES [/h3]

• Dazes carrying through hoops stopped momentum and sometimes prevented players from engaging the hoop, thus falling down. This has been patched
  
• Visual map fixes
  
• Descriptions and localisations
  
• Some recipes that weren't working, are now working

We have added a new tutorial stage for beginners! When you complete it in our main menu it will be found in the SOLO tab under 'more'.

We plan to use this tab to rotate in and out more future modes!

[h2]Physics:[/h2]

* Landing in general did not feel great. We adjusted the physics to make it smoother but also prevent 'in floor' collisions making you break through the floor.

* Ultimate abilities will track the floor better and on-hits.

* Colliders in stages as a whole are improved.

[h2]UI/UX[/h2]

* Added sort functions for items

[h2]Hero Balances[/h2]

* Fooo: hook speed boost increased 12%

* Khun: 8% reduction in ultimate cost for base A. Second ultimate only loses 5 coins, instead of 100%

* Pas: Starts with 2 coins as a base

* Loma: 2% drift power increase

* Dib: Invention bomb bonus last 1 second longer. Explosion will not make players lose coins.

* Ha Yuri: Rose Booster has a 10% bonus speed. Ha Yuri's ultimate cannot trigger off herself anymore.

* Zach: Slip Stream + 20% bonus

[h2]General Bugs[/h2]

Descriptions, hot fixes and notable collision/respawning issues fixed.
