Hello there! This week I'm glad to tell you that a new major update of the game has just landed. This update contains a lot of enhancements and bug fixes that the community reported me. These changes should improve drastically the overall game experience. Remember that the Early Access will start on [b]July 1, 2020[/b]. Below you will find my changelog notes. I try to keep them updated to track any changes I make.

[h2]Changelogs[/h2] [h3]Important new features[/h3] Baby Dino can run to allow faster level completion, and push crates to solve puzzles. Following lots of feedback I received from players, I added more controls to use this run ability. On a keyboard, hold on Ctrl/ALT/Alt Gr (cmd/control/option on Mac) while moving left or right. On a gamepad, hold on X/Y/Right shoulder button/Right shoulder trigger while moving left or right. Also, less visible changes but still very important. I reworked JSON mechanics entirely. This could be a tech talk so I won't give much details here. Except that this allowed me to create a new Pause menu based on the start screen one.
