Chapeau
Small Update where we fixed the wrong button assignments
The wrong button assignment that went through with the last update has been fixed!
Sorry that this one took us so long. If I am being upfront it's because no one of us was really aware of the Steam Community discussions going on. Between handling all our social media pages we didn't expect that we won't get any notifications if anyone starts a new discussion about Chapeau on Steam. ːsteamsadː
Please excuse us, as we are learning all the things on the get go to make not only Chapeau, but also future releases run more smoothly in the future!

Upcoming: Even more party fun in Alpaca Ball: Allstars!
We've learned a lot about making party games with Chapeau and we wanted to put that to the test by making a football game with Ragdoll Alpacas! Alpaca Ball: Allstars has everything you could think of, up to 8 players can play locally and there's even a full on story mode this time!
Follow that link to check out the trailer on the Steam Page! Don't forget to wishlist the game, if you want to keep up to date! :)

I can honestly say that I am insanely proud of the game, it is a ton of fun.

First Update to Chapeau - The Party Update!
- 1 New fantastic hat is available to play
- All maps are unlocked from the start, instead of being locked behind the challenge mode
- A visual bug in the tutorial parkour has been fixed
- The birdies should now correctly return to their position, making it easier to get the birdie achievement
We want everyone who just wants to play the game in the multiplayer mode to experience all maps regardless of Challenge mode progress, hats and skins are still unlock able.
Cheers, I hope you have fun with the update!

Chapeau is OUT NOW!
Chapeau is finally launching today :)
We are all very excited to share our work of the last few years with you and hopefully bring some joy in these very hard times. If you are stuck at home and need something to take your mind of things, maybe Chapeau can be your escape into a whimsical world full of mad hats.
From everyone of us at Salt Castle Studio, stuck in home office but happy we can at least still work on things, we hope you have fun with our first game that we put out there.
Please share your experience with us either on the Steam forums, or our Discord! We would be happy to hear how you enjoy Chapeau, or about any problems that come up.
We also got a new Launch Trailer for you!
