Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce that Far Beyond: A space odyssey is now compatible with Oculus Rift and supports Oculus Touch controllers!
We know that we are a little bit in advance (the official Touch launch is on December 6) but we were eager to share our game with this new community.

One more thing, we fixed a bug discovered by Casual_002 when you cannot screw DBEs when you install them separatly. Now the floor is a little lower so that you can easily access the screw.

Have a good game!

And we have another one!

Here's today's list of changes and fixes:
- Fixed coin reward not working on Bunkers
- Fixed bounce. Rotation is briefly turned off (0.1s) after bounce
- Fixed loading screen being shown in some cases when its not supposed to be
- Fixed a visual bug when final scoreboard had player list too low in battle tag in some cases
- Adjusted how other player trains are shown - this should make collisions with other train more accurate
