Updates

The open world received cars, and the player’s spawn area stopped being a hardcoded point and became a brush-painted zone in the map editor. Along with…

The map grew on three sides and became an island: forest in place of the old roads, a lake against cutting the corner, beaches and a promenade along the whole coast.

The kart received physics with tyre slip angles, a handbrake, nitro and a synthesised engine sound. A whole circuit was laid around the karting zone.

The game works fully on a phone: a stick under the thumb, a strike by touching the world, zooming with two fingers and protection from an accidental pinch.

Five surfaces sound different, shallow water is waded through and deep water is swum. On the football pitch goals are finally counted.

Hens graze in the yards, up to 128 at a time. A hen can be lost in three ways, and a replacement is delivered by a flying saucer down a beam of light.

Fists, a bat and a slingshot, a health dial and the ballistics of a stone that skips off water. The game also received a soundtrack and real recorded impact sounds.

Footballs with per-surface physics appeared on the square. Contact dribbles the ball, the E key strikes it, and only the server controls it. A tour for newcomers was added as well.

A webcam lets the character repeat the movements of the arms, the turns of the head and the player's expression. The video is never sent to the server, only joint angles travel over the network.

Voice chat can only be heard nearby, and the audio passes through the server for the sake of privacy. The interface gained a second language, and signing in gained Google.
