⛳ GOLF MODE ⛳
In a battle of precision and skill, compete head-to head to putt your ball in the fewest shots. Utilise the new aerial camera to survey your surroundings and make every shot count. Plus, hit your ball further than before with the new power dash mechanic! 🦾

We've added a handy tutorial to help you get a feel for it before taking on an opponent in casual or custom games.

⚓ GRAPPLE NERF ⚓
We listened to the issues Grapple Hook has caused, requiring little skill but providing huge benefits. The ball is no longer frozen in place when Grapple Hook is active. This change has reduced the predictability of grapple, increasing the skill level required for useful shots.

There’s 2 new adventures to complete: Golfing and Progression! Golfing features missions exclusive to the new game mode. Progression provides players with long term goals to work towards!
