Tire Friend

You're a tire! Roll, speed, bounce, and brain your way through obstacle courses in desert temples, battery acid volcanos, outer space, kids' playrooms, and more!

A smorgasbord update. [list] [*] Improved lighting all throughout. Everywhere. [*] Significantly reduced the game's file size, something like 20% in the full version. [*] Snazzified the courses' Finish Lines. [*] Reworked a few models, such as the Spike Strips and a couple of the hats. [*] Reworked parts of Asphalt Hill and Dusty Gears levels. [*] More stats on the hub and course UIs, especially to do with the challenges (Options > Gameplay > Challenges). [*] Bug fixes, including to Revving Up and polling for the "safe position" (where your tire returns on dropping into a pit). [/list] Please let me know what you think. I'd really like feedback on performance: has it improved? Has it... done the opposite? And, in any case—as always, happy tiring!
