[h2]Hey everyone,[/h2]

Today we'll be updating the game and adding 'Festivals' and controller support (beta)!

You will also find some bug fixes as well. Patch notes below:

Features:
+ Added Tomato War
+ Added Summer Festival
+ Added Chicken Race


Tomato War
A festival that starts in the town square on the 14th of Spring.
During this event, you and the other three competitors will throw tomatoes at each other, earning points for hits and losing points for getting hit. The one with the highest score when the time is over wins. Don't worry, all the tomatoes used weren't apt for consumption anyway.



Swimming Festival
A festival that starts on the beach on the 6th of Summer.
The objective is to be the best swimmer there is. Here, you'll compete against four others to swim to the end of the course and back to the beginning. Do not be too hasty; otherwise, you won't get far.



Chicken Race
A festival that starts in the town square on the 23rd of Autumn.
Here, you'll set up your favorite egg-layer against the top chicken in town and hope for the best. Do not be too disappointed if your chicken doesn't win, they are chickens, after all.
