The journey continues!

We made some improvements that we found over the week:

• Text readability improvements
  
• Performance improvements
  
• Filter by BPM
  
• Visual improvements
  

As always we welcome your feedback and bug reports on our Official discord server. Please use #bugs-report to make sure that we see your feedback.

• Bug fixes with YUR integration
  
• Boxing mode has changed a little bit:
  
  
  
  • We took out the boxing meter
    
  • The 3 types of boxing intensities have changed
    
    
    
    • Normal: punching gives you a higher score, but not punching doesn't cause a miss.
      
    • Hard: you have to punch harder (faster) to get the velocity score, but not punching doesn't cause a miss
      
    • Intense: maximum force is the same as hard, but not punching hard in this section causes a miss
      
• We brought back the intro screen that most people loved, but now you can turn it on and off over the graphic settings
  
• We changed the name of the modality "endurance" to be "Challenge"
