- Right Mouse Button secondary jump This is for users with a different keyboard layout to the standard QWERTY. In the next update will will look into key-rebinds, but for now users who were having issues controlling the ball and jumping can use the Arrow keys + the Mouse for full control.
- Bug fixes
- Forced windowed
Now forcing new users into windowed mode to prevent fullscreen making it impossible to change settings depending on resolution
- Slight changes to jump mechanics
We have improved the allowance of jumps when jumping from an edge of a platform. Previously if your ball was slightly over the edge, you were unable to jump. The tolerance for this has been increase and should allow for more precise platforming. This will not affect physics or level times in any way.

PATCH NOTES v0.06-RC5 - 23/02/2018
- Changes to Global Rank
We have made some adjustments to the way Global Rank is calculated. Players will no longer earn points for not beating their own personal best times, and every player is ranked equally.
Current users rank has been automatically updated, if it hasn't please complete a level to force an update. To see the top 50 ranks check out our web-leaderboards.
- New Bonus Level
Corkscrew has been added to the Bonus level category.
View Leaderboards Online!
Our website has been updated!
You can now view leaderboard times for every level, and see every stat of the top 50 players. www.birdwallgames.com
We have pushed out an update in an attempt to address the crashing/controls issues recently reported, and some changes to balance in leaderboard scores. Please restart Steam if you haven't got the update yet!
- Leaderboard changes
Global rank has been altered slightly to make it easier to see exactly who you're competing against even if you're not going for rank 1. Anyone with previous ranked scores have been adjusted for this.
Personal Best/World Record times are now shown on level select. In order to view your rank, you must now view the level leaderboard. This was done to reduce stress on the database as we've had a lot of players requesting a lot of information.
- Skin store changes
The skin store should now work better when equipping a skin you have bought.
