Quests - a quest tracker now sits in the top right and tells you what to do next. It kicks in the moment you finish the tutorial, so nobody gets left standing around wondering where the fun is.

First quest: Try Out Your Car - some of you played for half an hour without finding out you can turn into an RC car. That is on me, not you. The first quest now tells you exactly which key to press, and it shows your own key bind.

Second quest: Visit The Garage - follow the compass to a Garage and talk to the owner. That is where cars get painted, upgraded and swapped.

More quests to come - the quest system is built to grow. Expect it to point you at courses, collectables and other things worth finding as the town expands.

Settings menu - there is now an in game settings menu. Open it with your Menu key.

Volume sliders - separate music and sound effect volume.

RC camera direction - the RC car camera turned the opposite way from what most people expected. Left is now left. If you liked it the old way, there is an Invert X option, and an Invert Y to go with it.

Settings are kept - your settings are saved separately from your progress, so they survive a progress reset.

First Drive - awarded the first time you become your RC car.

Shop Talk - awarded the first time you talk to a Garage owner.

Garage camera - fixed the camera getting stuck in place after leaving the Garage while a pop up was on screen. Moving worked but the camera stayed behind.

Destruction multiplier - lamp posts, letterboxes, parking meters and phone boxes now feed a DESTRUCTION multiplier that stacks on top of your trick combo. Break some stuff, land some tricks, get that money. Crash the landing and you lose it.

Corner Store - new shop selling energy drinks with different buffs: faster feet, higher jumps, or both, for a minute or so. Still balancing, so for now drinks pause during time trials. Leaderboard times stay earned, not bought.

Trainer retired - permanent speed and jump upgrades are gone in favour of the drinks. Cars, paint and car upgrades are untouched.

Ring pickup animation - grabbed rings now fly up, spin out and shrink away instead of blinking out of existence. More dopamine per ring.

Compass - some of you finished the tutorial and didn't know where to go next. There is now a compass across the top of the screen and every Garage is marked on it at all times, even when it's behind you. Just point and drive.

Mode switch prompt - you lot are foaming at the mouth to drive, so the key for swapping between on foot and RC car now stays on screen, bottom left. It always shows your actual key bind.

Buff timers - active drinks show as round badges in the top left with a ring that drains as the buff runs out.

Trick readout - the destruction multiplier shows alongside AIR TIME and SPIN, and the whole readout has moved to the bottom right.

Abandon hint - hold to abandon now stays under the timer for the whole of a time trial, not only after you press the key.

Controls screen - back on startup.

More ramps - the world was feeling a little void of things to do in RC mode, so I've added jumps all across the map. More ramps = more reasons to send it.

Fire rings - what you all wanted. I know. Fire rings are now scattered around the map and passing through one gives you a one time cash bonus. I may add an achievement based on how many you complete, but I'm not sure yet.

Grass - I thought grass might take away from the aesthetic, but it made a HUGE difference. The cars feel much more grounded now, like they're driving through the world instead of skating across the top of it.

Breakable props - mailboxes, phone boxes, parking meters and lamp posts are now breakable. No real benefit to destroying them yet other than making the world feel more interactive. Should destruction pay? I'm thinking about cash rewards for breaking props, possibly with multipliers for chaining destruction together. Let me know what you think.

Volumetric fog - this one is funny to me. A stylized, cartoon-esque game with realistic god rays... but what can I say? It just looks so damn good.

Night time lighting - it gets pretty dark at night in Sometimes Down, so lighting has always been on my mind. It will keep improving, but for now you've got street lamps to help out those of you who are scared of the dark.

New Garage - preview, edit, upgrade and equip your vehicles from the new Garage Vendors (x2).

Hearse 💀 - new vehicle. Because why the hell not?

Tire marks - now based on your speed and trajectory.

Tricks - pull off sick flips, get point multipliers AND CASH, and rack up some crazy hang time!

New achievements - more things to accomplish and chase.

Time played leaderboard - new in game board for total time played. Put in the hours and prove it.
