This feature is already live on our Discord server, but the new generation of DASHers are not really using the server - therefore I put the same feed in-game. And it's giving the game a more "live" feel.
The reason for putting it in the Leaderboard menu: it feels natural wanting to have an impression of which new records have been set/taken/stolen.
The reason for putting it in the Pause Game menu: during runs you can pause to see if any other player is messing with your records or just if you're curious to know what other players are up to.
Of course this feature only comes to life once more players are playing.
Please leave any feedback you might feel would be valuable in the comments below.
Main Menu:
Moved the user name and changed the background sprite to fit the stats theme at the right side of the Main menu. Now reads: "<user>'s stats" with the diamonds collected as well as WRs displayed below. To easily see ones stats every time you pass through the Main menu.
Moved the update news feed to the right side of the room.
In general this theme seems more easily comprehensible and visually more relaxed.
The jump glitch:
Also, noticed by my favorite DASHer currently GGHallGamer, an enormous jump glitch would happen when (--spoiler--) which in a really surprising way would make the hero fly to the sky and at the end... do a small dash.
This is back to normal in build 3001. No more flying.
To GGHallGamer who is the creator of a level with a WR set with the jump glitch: my friend, thanks a lot for bringing up the jump glitch move. Unfortunately I will have to delete "Simple Level 1" :( Because some of the replays/WR were made using the glitch move. Can you please upload it again?
New artwork:
Some new takes on the capsule art are live as well! Now featuring one rabbit who never settled down.
The next update will hopefully have more surprises - and hopefully WASD for players using keyboard to grind for the WRs.
Till then, dash on!

Thank you all so much for wish listing and asking about Part 2! We were able to get help from steam to clarify a few things that needed to be disclosed in the content warning of the game description, which has been updated as follows:
This Game features a death by hanging scene. (Non-suicidal, but images of nooses and hanging bodies are featured.) This Game contains content inappropriate for all ages: Horror Scenes, Frequent Violence, and Gore are displayed during gameplay.
It's time to help out Summer at her family farm! Sorry for the delay, and please let us know if you have any issues with the new release. Thank you all for the reviews on Video Shop, it helped us a ton with discoverability on Steam. We took as much feedback as we could to make Part 2 a better game. Please reach out on our discord or in the steam forums if you've got any questions!
Good news, everyone: the store page for our next game The Many Sins of House Ocampo is now online!
In this mystery point and click adventure you'll play as Lucía, a young woman in 1977 Buenos Aires who discovers she's the last living descendant of the Ocampos, an Argentinian settler family rumoured to be beset by a terrible curse.
Reliving the last moments of her ancestors via letters, tapes, documents and diaries, and using an interactive clue board to trace the fate of each family member, Lucía will not stop until figuring out the truth of the Ocampo curse, as well as her own origins.

Hey everyone!
We’re getting really close to the end of the Kickstarter, and there’s one last thing we want more than anything:
to hit $20K and finally bring voice acting to Celestial Return.
That means Howard would finally speak.And not just him. Intelligence, Virtue, Foolishness… we have the scripts ready and the vision clear. We just need that final push to bring them to life.
We’ve been imagining how they’d sound for months, and honestly, hearing them come to life would mean the world to us.
What you can do:
1. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! Post the Kickstarter Link on your social media, in relevant forums, or with a friend who loves deep narrative games. This is the single biggest thing you can do.
2. CONSIDER UPGRADING. If you've been thinking about moving up to a higher tier, now is the perfect time. Every single dollar gets us closer to hearing Howard's mind speak.
3. CHANT WITH US! Even just a comment of support on the Kickstarter page boosts our visibility and keeps us all motivated.
Here’s the link → https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/metaphorgames/celestial-return-sci-fi-noir-rpg
We have 10 days. Let's do this together.
Let's give these characters the voices they deserve.

We thought: how can we make Penguin Panic even crazier?
Well, by hiding a brand-new underground level, of course.
And for those who dare to dig deeper… there’s a secret rocket waiting. Where does it go? To space! Yes, our penguin has officially gone intergalactic.
We’ve added new music, polished the menus with a fresh layer of ice, and fixed a bunch of bugs that slipped on the way out.
Download the update and see how far you can go – or how deep you can fall.
