We would still greatly appreciate any feedback you have with our update!

Water and Swimming Improvements

Water has been completely reworked. Both the water and lilypads now have physics. Swimming has also been completely reworked to make it more intuitive and fun, complete with new sound effects.

The water is also more dangerous in general now. Watch out!

We also have some new lightning effects.

Fish have been reworked to make them visually cleaner and make it more clear when the player has died to them.

Thank you for the water and swimming feedback: @raine17 @nidoprince @mr-flower @belten @graf @jynxaudio

Platforming Updates

We now have coyote time! This should make platforming more forgiving. We still have more improvements planned as well.

Thanks for your platforming feedback: @sharky3188 @olddog @skeyven @juutis @shimiki @steinhks @reed-molbak @hoeleboele @astroaceone @awwwz @luka420 @abiral @strega @tomssuli @maxededo @the-big-lost @saering @grummelchen @tomas-poblete @caer @zamizmi @dekisenpaitm @mcbaker @nabil-shelim @dvan1337 @rewzu @scrapmetal @juutis @tomssuli @brainoid @saering @purrseus

Owl and Lightning Updates

Standing in a log for 1 second now calls in the bird immediately, and the Owl no longer queues while you're in cover. These should both reduce the time you're waiting for the Owl to pass, and reduce the times you're being harassed by both the Owl and the lightning.
