[img]http://retrific.net/images/jgt_animBannerUpdate12.gif[/img] Hello fellow players! Today I have something really really special for you. This is, I'm not kidding, the biggest Update since 1.0! It brings almost everything what I, what we, always wanted for the game. Update 1.2 finally brings us Daily Runs! Yaaay :D But there is even more. We also get new gamemodes, steam leaderboards, new achievements, seeded runs, new effects, particles, animations, better gamepad controls, new sounds, bugfixes, new sandbox content, favorite custom levels and much much more. The full changelog can be found below, although I haven't mentioned every single fix or change because then the changelog would way be too long. What I also did is I made a short update 'trailer' that shows some Update 1.2 gameplay. I couldn't capture all the cool new effects and changes and the new stuff, but I tried my best to make a cool short video that shows that the game changed since I published the last gameplay video. Here is the trailer: [url]https://youtu.be/r-9TKvHJNbw[/url] And here is the full changelog: [list] [*]Added Daily Runs, finally! [list] [*]What are daily runs? - You can start this run once every day. Everyone gets the same seed on this day. The seed changes daily. Because everyone has the same seed, everyone gets the same levels. Now you only have to get as fast as possible as far as you can. At the end a score is calculated and your score gets listed in the steam leaderboard. Every daily run has its own leaderboard. So every day you get a new chance to be the best.

So if you experience problems, please let me know. But even if everything runs without problems I would still like to hear your feedback! :) Last but not least I want to announce that this was probably not the last update. I've already made some new plans for future updates. For example I want to improve some of the new gamemodes with new content, especially the coin run. I love the coin mode. You should definetly try this one. But also the hardcore mode and of course the daily run. Okay okay, that's it. Now play the update and fill the new steam leaderboards! You can check them ingame or here: http://steamcommunity.com/stats/338190/leaderboards The demo gets the new effects and stuff in the near future too. But the full version gets the update first. The new gamemodes are of course exclusive for the full version. - Jonathan Mannshoven
