Backseat Drivers

We've fixed the issue with Level 8's ski lift, whose arms were spinning wildly out of control. You can once again grab the clamps and drag 'em back onto the car, so you're not guaranteed to fall to your doom.

Hello hello and happy holidays and new years to everyone everywhere! Before the team here has a chance to wind down and take a well-earned break, everyone's been working very hard on today's update, which, alongside various bugfixes, increases the length of the game by about 10%!
