Now you can see all your flashy car paints in the same spot - and change between them whenever you want 🎨[/p][p][/p][p]It probably won't lead to Narnia... right?[/p][p][/p][p]You unlock the colors by completing the relevant Special Challenge, which you access from the Specials Elevator, next to the main campaign. Some are Daily Levels, some are Seasonal - all are weird.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Don't be blue! Be pink! Or red! Or Halloween![/p][p][/p][p]And another awesome thing: From now on, there's a different special in the elevator every 14 days. Make sure you come back and check in every Thursday![/p][p][/p][p](Note: heads up - there is now a counter on the Specials that shows how long they will be live, since they will be locked after that! So if you want to snag all the fancy skins in one swoop, or 100% everything there is out so far, now would be the time to do it!)[/p][p][/p][h2]PINBALL MADNESS[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]In the new update, you'll find:[/p]

[h2]New Among Us x WHAT THE CAR? content![/h2]

that's live right now! (and technically has been since Thursday but eh, time isn't real anyways).

A car, a crewmate and a seagull walk into a fungle... if you think that's the beginning to a bad joke, you're right.

In the newest Car-mong Us update, you'll find:

new overworld map with Fungle Theme!
hand-picked player made levels
little secrets and silly dialogue

(Horrifying worm-like level we came across in our player-level hunt! This is apparently what happens when you give players free will)

⚒ CHANGES & FIXES ⚒

● Changed the "DAILY LEVEL" to show hand-picked player made levels! So now YOUR level might get featured as the daily level!

Yes, this does mean the previous levels there are removed from the game & the Ghost Car... Let us know in the comments what you think of this change! Also also, definitely share your levels here or on Discord in #car-share-your-level and we might consider them for the roster!!!

Changes and fixes
● Fixed some crowns not displaying properly on UGC levels that had been won
● Adjusted the length of leaderboards to only show top 100 on all tabs
● Fixed a bug that would cause the sasquatch to float away from the car when sitting
on it
● Fixed a bug that would display post-its as blank when they are supposed to say
"dum"
● Fixed the flickering in the fog in some levels before ejecting from the cannon
● Fixed some props clipping into other props in various places
● Fixed some UGC levels not displaying a crown on the entry point after winning
● Fixed some specials showing as "completed" when they were not yet completed

Try to challenge yourself by completing enough levels to get elusive 🌈rainbow skin🌈. Why pick ONE color for CAR when you can be ALL of them!



New things cooking, especially Quality of Life changes (like the elevator/dungeon remapping!)
also... we love hearing from you guys! Write us and let us know what you think of our updates 👀
