Rico-Jump is back! With this update, a new mechanic is introduced: Replays! For any entry in the global leaderboard you can now replay their run and see for yourself, how they achieved their times! Simply right-click on the leaderboard to show your mouse and then click the 'R'-icon next to the respective leaderboard entry. Further, as I now moved everything to Unreal Engine v5.1.1 and made some changes to the map, the leaderboards were reset. Hence, from now on, every entry will have a replay attached to it. Further fixes: Fixed crash when switching levels Fixed rare crashes when returning to main menu Overall refactoring of the code to fix some technical dept Next steps: Next, I will work on the Map-Editor, to make it more user-friendly and easier to use.

- v. 0.3.2 Added missing leaderboard - 13 March 2021
Added Tier 3 to the leaderboard in the main menu
- v 0.3.1 - 6 March 2021
This is a smaller update to address the few reviews Rico-Jump got stating it might be a crypto-miner, which is utter nonesense. However, I can understand where this comes from, as the GPU-usage is always >90% while playing Rico-Jump. The reason for this is simple, I disabled V-Sync, which results in your GPU pushing as much frames as it possibly could. Hence, the high GPU-usage. As I developed Rico-Jump with the Counter-Strike movement in mind, where more FPS equals better, I disabled it. To prevent more negative reviews stating this nonesense, I enabled V-Sync now as default. This should lower the GPU-usage drastically. However, this only applies to new installments. Consequently, if you already have Rico-Jump installed, simply check the V-Sync box under the graphical settings to reduce the GPU-usage.
- Tier 3 - Wallrunning - 6 March 2021
Tier 3 is now available and introduces a new mechanic: Wallrunning! Use the walls to your advantage by running along them and increasing your speed by jumping from them. Three new levels await you in the new Tier 3 to practive and show off your wallrunning abilities. Further, new achievements have been added for all new levels of Tier 2 and Tier 3. A bug causing lag on multiplayer sessions should be resolved. What's next? Alongside smaller bugfixes, my main objective for the next big update will be the map-editor. Among other things, this will include an improved usability, duplication of items and a list of items currently spawned into the map. With that, the process of creating your own maps should be improved massively.
- Tier 2: Bunny-Hopping - 14 February 2021
Tier 2 is out now! New mechanic: Bunny-Hopping With version 0.2 of Rico-Jump a new mechanic is introduced: Bunny-Hopping. Alongside it, Tier 2 is now available with 4 brand-new levels. These new levels serve as a tutorial to introduce the new mechanic. Bunny-Hopping is a hard to master skill, but can accelerates your robot significantly if pulled off correctly. For now, Bunny-Hopping is only available in Tier 2. What comes next? In the near future I will introduce another new mechanic and finish Tier 2, which then will also comprise a total of 9 levels. Afterwards, I will put all efforts into improving the Map-Editor, making it easier to build and publish your own maps to the Steam Workshop.
