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


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.


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.


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!
  

Full Details, cheat codes, inspirational quotes, bug reports and gameplay guide in the manual.

We've added another minigame!
Try to keep the balls out of the goal. Or in! Go for AN EXACT NUMBER! DECIDE YOUR OWN DESTINY!
Or just enjoy huge flocks of beach balls rolling down the hill. We won't tell you what to do. (Well, we kinda did, but ignore that, aight?)

Beach Balls don't get stuck in turrets, or stop in the minigame.

General tweaking of programmy things behind the scenes.
Small tweaks of graphical things including clouds and castle turrets and teleport arrows.

Super fancy scoreboards with extra fun. Careful though; they're not tied together well, and can break apart if you treat 'em roughly.

Mind Control: It's now semi-officially in the game.

Somebody got over 1,000,000 points in the minigame. That's pretty rad. Shoot for the stars!

Also, check out the manual! It has keys you can use to annoy your friends!
