Update Huckleberry

Hand Mind Control!
  • You can wave your hand like a trademarked movie character and if you're holding the grip, and if you've touched a beach ball, you can influence it with beach ball mind tricks!
  • Either hand works, so you can do two at once, or can you?


Spectator Screen
  • There are a variety of keys you can use to interact with your friends, now we show them on the main screen. Space to toggle on/off. No perf hit either way.


Bonuses
  • Big Beach balls show up now and then. Nobody really know where they come from or why they're here, but they're nice to play with.
  • Rain Cloud is more happy and loves to water the beach balls.


Fixes
  • Minigames now end when you leave the area
  • It's easier to make a shot that bounces off the castle roof and hits the hoops
  • Paddleball is now always 8 proper hits away
  • Balls pop less easily
  • Music minigame launchers are better timed
  • Tracking puck functionality isn't crashing the world anymore.
  • (probably)*
  • Grass is now greener on the other side
  • Holographic hint paddle system shows players how to start the first game or teleport so you probably don't have to tell them anything for them to move around in the game!
  • Music minigame metronome goes away farther so it's harder to hit by accident


Super Rare Secret Advanced Mode
Click the backs of the controllers into each other, you'll see some magical puff, and then mind control reverts to the original and challenging system of actually moving your head around because you're rad Mind control

Update Grand

Beach Ball Valley Update Grand!

We've updated weather systems to reflect standard cloud diversity. There are now happy clouds and angry clouds. You'll know which are which!


Also, there are now buttons to press to start games for all the games.


To top things off, we've added a new beach ball! It's Grand!


Oh, and one more thing. Try hitting a beach ball 10 times with the same paddle.

Update Finnish Pancake

Exciting new features

Squishy Buttons. Media Menus. Music Game. More Fluffy Clouds! Octopus Ready!

Music game!

Any song ever, on time, every time. Just tap the tempo!

Pick scored or freeplay. Tap in a tempo, preferably to the music you're listening to; desktop music, the radio or even a live band! Hit beach balls with the beat! Retap the tempo when it changes, or tap the escape button to escape.

Puck Tracker Support

Vive Puck Trackers now work as extra paddles; stick 'em everywhere! Play with your friends or your cat, or you feet. Add 'em on your arms to basically become an octopus. You can use a lot of trackers, way more than 3. Just turn 'em on and go! If you have enough arms, because you're an octopus, you could play with 8 paddles at once.

Squishy buttons.

They're the best. They're highly robust and very squishy. Way better than springy buttons. They'll let you change music, start games, and teleport!



Fixes:
  • Lots of little visual improvements.
  • You can't glitch the ball through the floor anymore, don't even try it!
  • Ctrl+M disables triggering the music menu in case your guests won't stop triggering it.
  • K = explode all the beach balls away from you
  • End = end game, fade to white.
  • Home = restart game, fade in!
