  • Dive — hold Space / Left Click to fall faster for more score at more risk

  • Combo system — graze hazards and chain coins/rings to build a multiplier up to x8

  • New hazards — slaloms, rotating spinners, gates with a gap to thread, and bonus rings to fly through

  • Six escalating biomes with their own palettes and speed steps

  • Power-ups — shield, magnet, slow-mo, 2x score

  • Daily Challenge — one fixed seeded course for everyone, every day

  • Missions — rotating objectives that pay coins

  • Ghost racing — your best run replays beside you

  • 5-player Race mode — host or join a Steam lobby and drop the same course together; last one falling wins

  • Guidance — green rings and a directional arrow mark the safe path

  • Global leaderboard now records and displays high scores

Improved

  • Reduced obstacle density and widened spacing for fairer runs

  • Stronger HUD contrast so text reads on any background

  • Consistent hover feedback across menu buttons

  • Cleaner character-select and lobby layouts

Fixed

Removed
