PATCH NOTES
Alright, now to the main event: The MEGA Patch! What's in it? So much. So, so much. Check it out!
PERFORMANCE

- Significantly faster loading times for a majority of levels.
VISUALS
- All levels have been spruced up when it comes to color grading, shadow strength, lighting and general ambience.

- Shadows are now set to close fit at the highest quality setting, good bye jitters!
- Gamma setting values now more accurately brighten up the screen.
- New outline shader that comes with adjusted visuals and fades at a distance to lower background noise
GAMEPLAY ADJUSTMENTS
- Super Dribble! Hold down the jump input during a super jump to bounce off the floor, let go right when landing for an extra high bounce!
