• Made some small tweaks to how the player feels to move around.
  
• Updated the grapple functionality so that holding the grapple key will now pull you in towards the grapple point. Pressing the jump key is now the only way to release the grapple. (Also updated associated tutorials on LU-2 and on new LU-3)
  
• Added a grapple icon so it's clearer when you can use the grapple.
  
• Made the conditions for starting a wallrun more lenient so it will work when you expect it to more often.
  
• Removed the minimum time on the wall before you can jump out of a wall run.
  
• Added a climb up buffer so that the climb up will feel considerably more consistent.
  

• Added 8 excellent new Apocalypse levels, 5 new Hell P2 levels and 2 Location Unknown levels.
  
• Updated (almost) all the levels with visual improvements, clarity improvements and gameplay improvements. In some cases we did large overhauls to dramatically improve the levels.
  
• Added a brand new mode, 'Spider-person mode', which lets you play through all the levels using a grappling hook that you can attach anywhere. (I'd strongly recommend replaying LU-2 and LU-3 before jumping into this!)
  

• Added a new platinum medal and shuffled the times so that bronze is the default when you aren't fast enough for the other medals.
  
• Created new medal icons.
  
• Updated the results screen to make it easier to navigate and to be more fun!
  
• Improved the level restarting system to make it a quicker and generally smoother experience.
  
• Fully rewritten the dialogue. It's much better now.
  
• Updated the tutorial prompts to be less verbose.
  
• Updated the save system to support multiple game saves.
  
• Added an outline to all stuff that is kick-able to make it clearer that you can kick that stuff.
  
• Added some additional secrets to some of the levels.
  
• Updated the level select screen to be easier to navigate and to display the next virtual level to be unlocked with a lock on it.
  

• Fixed mouse cursor disappearing when using the scroll bar in the level select screen.
  
• Fixed a bug where the wizard wouldn't always look at you when shooting fireballs.
  
• Did some additional performance improvements to the buses.
  
• Fixed a bug where the tutorial wouldn't appear at the start of a level when using the don't play dialogue option.
  
• Fixed bug where sliding up a slope and spamming jump would cause you to gain excessive speed.
  
• Fixed a bug that made it so you needed to click an extra time on the Devil cut-out dialogues.
  

• General performance improvements (should be a big help for some people).
  
• Adjusted the particle counts on the drifting bus to improve it's performance.
  

• Fixed virtual 3 and 12 not loading and instead returning to the main menu.
  
• Fixed 100% complete bug not unlocking when achieving it.
  
• Fixed the leaderboard loading symbol appearing over medals in the level select screen.
  
• Camera Smoothing would sometimes be on even when it said it was off. This is now fixed.
  

• Updated the medal times for Hell part 1 and Location Unknown Part 1 so that they take into account what you have learned so far. Also added some more leniency to the later levels in these parts to account for the fact that people need time to master the tech.
  
• Turned off motion blur by default.
  
• Moved the game quality option up to the top of the video settings.
  
• Updated low and medium settings so that they look a lot better with a new high performance fog.
  
• Updated the lighting on the virtual levels so they are a bit less dark (particularly on medium settings) and addressed the darkness on some specific levels.
  

• Made the dialogue text scroll in for some extra juicyness.
  
• Updated the auto step up height to be a bit more generous.
  
• Updated the max walkable angle to be more generous (should make those pesky rounded corners not horrible to touch, like in V-01).
  
• Made the basic kick a little snappier (has a slightly quicker intro and doesn't get held out as long).
  
• Slightly sped up the end animation for the double kick.
  
• Slightly sped up grapple launch animation.
  
• Fixed a small issue with the slide where uncrouching in the air would check if you had something above your head (not sure if this was causing any issue tbh tho) And slighty reduced the radius of this check from 24 to 20.
  
• Slightly reduced the max mantle distance form 190 to 170 and slightly reduced the max mantle height from 120 to 80.
  
• Made the air wall kick push you away slightly more (1.5f to 2f).
  
• Made the collectable in 1-03 a little easier to get to (and maybe a bit clearer too).
  
• Updated 03-05 and 03-08 so they are a little easier for first time playthroughs and maybe a bit more interesting for replaying too.
  
• Adjusted the collectable position in 03-02 to be easier to collect.
  
• Fixed issue where times were being uploaded to the wrong level leaderboards.
