Release!!!!

Hi everyone, and welcome to our launch day patch notes! There are two huge updates in our launch build, as well as a ton of smaller updates, so let’s break it down.

Challenges

• Challenges are a new game mode where you can run through a series of games with special conditions.
• We have 24 fun challenges and 5 will start unlocked.
• To unlock more, earn challenge points.
• For each challenge, you’ll earn points for beating it. The higher the difficulty you beat it on, the more points you’ll earn, up to 8.
