- Season 2019 - Update 2 is live! - 19 December 2019
Hello people, It's time for the next update this year! This time there are some improvements and bug fixes. Here are three things I would like to point out. Improvements Steam Achievements In the last update, achievements came into the game. However, players who made progress before the update did not get any steam achievements for there progress. That changes with this update. If you start the game now, you will get all achievements for the progress you made before the last update. Gingerbread Man on Starter Mode So far, the Gingerbread Man had no real use in Starter Mode. Now he has a function depending on the mode: In Classic mode you get a life if you collect one. In Starter mode the counter that counts how many times you dropped is deducted by 3. This way it has influence on the final score. Cutscene Control Now you can set if and how often you want to see the cutscenes. You can ad…

So you can keep a good eye on your progress and compete with your friends. Some are really a challenge, so try it out ;) N…
