Portals 🌀 Parkour Racing in 4D!

We're excited to share that Rocket Boots Mania now supports racing through the 4th dimension! Yup, we've added Portals to Create Mode and they are so much fun! 🤩

[h2]Portal Tower[/h2]
You can find the first map with portals in the recommended section of Community Creations. Try it out and let us know how you like it. It's called "Portal Tower" 😉


You can of course use the portals to build your own maps too! It's quite simple. Place both the 'in' and the 'out' portal in the Create Mode scene, select both and then hit [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [L] to link them.


And yes, of course we're already planning future updates that will leverage this functionality to link other "logic" type objects like buttons, switches, gates and whatever else we come up with. Share your ideas in the comments here on Steam! 📝

If you're curious to see more about portals, check one of the livestreams where we were building the first portal map. Don't forget to subscribe to catch other updates early - we're usually live at least 3 times a week.

[h2]Create Mode Updates[/h2]
You asked and you shall receive. Here are a bunch of additions to the Create Mode that were requested by you.

You can now choose between different environments / time of day conditions. Open the level menu (the three lines in the top left corner) and choose between 'Islands Dusk' and 'Islands Afternoon'. We'll continue adding the other environments (and maybe completely new ones) in the upcoming updates. What environments do you think would be coolest? Let us know! 🤩


There's now a new modular track pack of models that allow you to build gravity defying tracks just like those in the Snowman bonus level. Horizontal, vertical, there are really no limits to how you can use these.


Of course we also had to include the shock gates for some additional challenge. 🤓


And on a special request we've also added the individual crab model, please be nice to them! 😂



[h2]New Outfit[/h2]
We have a new awesome outfit for Zoe created by Soullessrun, thanks! 😍 If you'd like to create outfits or even completely new character models, stop by our Discord and we can teach you how.



[h2]Cloud Saves[/h2]
Another frequently requested feature was added - cloud saves allow you to chase records on multiple devices and your progress will be automatically synced (as long as you're connected to the internet of course). Let us know if everything's working or if you encounter some issues.


[h2]Controls[/h2]
Sometimes we get asked: "What's better - controller or keyboard and mouse?" While controller is the more chill way to play I'd recommend mouse and keyboard if you're serious about chasing the records.
I'd also encourage you to bind jump to [Left Mouse Button]. I've done it a couple of months ago based on the recommendation from LinT and I just love it!


All input can be changed in Settings > Input.

To prove a point about total freedom of input mapping in our game I once mapped the controls to my racing sim, it was a surprisingly fun experience, check the video below 😂

[h2]Temporary / FYI[/h2]
As a part of full controller support for free camera, we moved camera acceleration button to be the same as nitro (Default is Right Mouse Button/RT2 on controller). This is temporary and in the next update there will be a dedicated mapping in the input settings.


[h2]Bug fixing / Optimization[/h2]
As usual we've done a bunch of things around the whole game to improve the experience. You can check the full log in the main menu for detailed information.
