Deadly Delivery
Minor Update - Extra Checkpoint in The Exchange + Now 30% off
This checkpoint has been placed after the second timed room so you won't have to repeat this room once making it past the closing doors.
Also, for a limited time only, Deadly Delivery is 30% off ːsteamhappyː

V1.1.6 Digger's Cavern Extra Checkpoint
Josh
V1.1.5 Improved Suspension, Digger's Cavern Tweaks & More
---Improved suspension!---
By tweaking the suspension height of the rear wheels I've been able to make the vehicle land a lot smoother. The problem before seemed to be that the wheels would raise and lower to the same height, where there should have been some difference.
---Vehicle Flip Tweaks---
Currently you can only reset the vehicle orientation if you have landed upside down. I have changed the requirement so that now if you are stuck on your side you'll be able to reset the orientation, provided you aren't sliding too fast.
---Digger's Cavern Tweaks---
- Improved timing of one of the platforms; it spent too long at the top and not long enough at the bottom of its loop
- Added a couple more lengths of platform to make the jumps flow better and be a bit less difficult
---Improved Explosion FX---
The other explosion fx animation looked a bit too low budget and out of place. I've replaced it with a flame and sparks that continue for a few seconds after you have respawned
---LINUX---
Unfortunately I haven't had any success with this yet. I have managed to covert my project from blueprint to C++, but am having troubles with the actual build process. I will keep trying!
V1.1.4 Making 'The Exchange' Reasonable
I'm uploading a fix for this right now. It extends the ramp to the second collectable and fills in the holes of the balcony area. It also adds more length to the ramps leading downward to the next section.
Other than that I have replaced some if the skinnier platforms with wider ones, particularly in the second timed section.
The game is meant to be hard, but I would like for you to get through the first level at least! See if you can beat my best time of 350s ːsteamhappyː
V1.1.3 Released - New Features & Level Design Tweaks
- Ability to rotate camera around vehicle by holding 'Q' and moving your mouse. This will help you find collectables and see where to go in the level. It can be rebinded to a different key.
- Flip vehicle by pressing 'left control' (also rebindable) if you get stuck upside down, as long as you arent sliding too fast.
- You can also invert your look direction in the settings menu
I have also done a couple of level design tweaks:
- In 'The Exchange' I have made the jump to collectable 2 a bit easier by adding more platform & have removed one of the railings from the end of the level which makes the jumps easier to navigate.
- Added text to 'The Exchange' about how to look around the vehicle
- In 'Frostbite Peak' there was an awkward landing at the beginning of the level which I have now added more ramps to, making it much smoother!
More Features Coming Soon!
---------- FEATURES ----------
1. Sometimes if you land funny you can become stuck upside down like a cockroach. I've made a function that will flip you back over so long as you aren't sliding to fast.
2. A couple people have mentioned that they'd like to be able to move the vehicle camera around so they can assess their surroundings a bit better. This also works in my dev build - you will need to hold 'Q' and simply move your mouse left and right to rotate the camera around the vehicle.
3. Ability to rebind buttons used for the aforementioned features.
---------- LINUX RELEASE ----------
I'll be doing a test build for the Linux-x86_64 platform this week, with hopes of releasing it sometime this month. This is all depending on whether or not it works of course! Fingers crossed
V1.1.2 Released - Console Commands & Potential TV Resolution Fix
--
1. In the settings menu is a console command text box. I figured some people may find a use for it, but please be cautious! This should allow you to use most Unreal Engine 4 commands.
The awesome thing about this feature is that you can manually set your game to run at whatever resolution you like and toggle any graphics settings that aren't listed in the user interface.
Example: r.setres 1000x600f - set resolution to 1000x600 in fullscreen
See some commands here:

2. Bug fix - Unfortunately two people had an issue running the game with their TV. From what I could tell, the issue seemed to be with the automatic resolution settings, which makes the mouse not align with buttons correctly.
Now this has been changed so that the game boots in windowed mode first time, then allows you to increase the resolution (and save the setting). Additionally, I have added a reset button if you do accidentally choose the wrong thing.
----NOTE----
After pressing the reset button, you need to relaunch the game for it to take effect.
V1.1.1 Released
This small patch fixes that issue.
For folks running Linux, I'm looking into deploying the game onto your OS but not making any promises yet! ːsteamhappyː
Major Update V1.1.0 is Released!
Changelist:
- Introduced checkpoint saving on pause and a 'Continue' button from the main menu
- Alt-tabbing no longer sends your vehicle into space, but just pauses the game
- Added volume sliders for engine, ambient and UI sound effects
- Added smooth fades between loading screens
- Slightly moved a jump towards the end of 'The Exchange' to make it a bit easier
This shouldnt bother your save file in any way, but if you are paranoid you can copy and paste the save file from your AppData/Local/Jumping/Saved/SaveGames folder. Let me know if you come across any oddities, but I have tested this on all levels and difficulties...took ages ːsteamhappyː
Exciting Feature Next Week!
It takes players a bit longer to complete levels than I anticipated, hence the absence of the feature in the first place.
Stay tuned because late next week, I should have this functionality ready for you ːsteamhappyː
Have a good weekend everyone!
