The Big QOL Update

Oooh boisey, we've got a lot of fun stuff to cover in this one! 

The Water, it's wet! No more sad static water tiles; the water in the Toybox is now a beautiful blue, shiny surface, flowing and moving and looking way more vibrant and fun.

Are you the best bird on the block? Our balloon popping game is now properly tracking your high score, so you can challenge yourself and your friends to see who has the best flight skills.

Struggling to track down those pesky balloons? Want to make your prey stand out from a mile off, or do you just need a break to bask in the scenery without pausing the whole game? Introducing Falcon Vision! Tap that touchpad and watch the world slow down and go grey, highlighting all those hunting targets and giving you a chance to catch your breath [also great for giving you time to pull out of a collision, or slow things down when you spiral].

Speaking of pausing, you can do that! Our menus work again, and all our pretty buttons do, too. Tap that menu button and take a proper break; we know it's tiring to flap those wings.

Bigger, smaller, just want to reposition your arms to make flapping easier? You can easily recalibrate your wingspan with the right trigger, so everyone, no matter their shape or size, can have the same experience controlling your new bird body.

Everyone should have an easier time overall with flight now, too! We upped the lift and forward boost from flapping, so it's now much easier to gain height.

The main menu has some new little improvements. Our Toybox, the centre of our entire game, has only just finally gotten itself textured and looking great. We also added a model of our very first test bird, our good boi Falco, to the menu room, so make sure to give him some love.

We've put together a visual aid to make sure players are pointing in the right direction, so no more struggling to fly because of a bad wing alignment.

Behind the scenes, we cleaned up some less than perfect code, reworked a few little things, tweaked some others, and generally made a much better experience than our last builds. If you had an issue with controller bindings, those should also be all fixed up, so if something wasn't working for you at all before, we hope you'll give it another go!
