This update is all about making sure it's easier than ever to be a superhero in VR.  With new mechanics, improved menus and tutorials,  a bunch of new options, and plenty of other improvements, now is the best time to jump into the (spring-powered) shoes of  The Unbreakable Gumball!

Here's what's new:

Enhanced Visuals

• Visual overhaul, including more vivid colors, glowing lights, and toon shading

Movable Enemies

• Enemies are now movable, and can be thrown or pulled around with gumlines

Gum-Zipping

• You can now yank on gumlines to pull yourself around quickly

Wall-Jumping

• Charging your jump while next to a wall will allow you to slide down it, making wall-jumping much easier

Long-Jumping

• You can now long-jump when running forward

Menus

• Overhauled the menu to include many new options:
  • Smooth, Snap, or Smooth-Snap Rotation
  • Head or Hand-Oriented Movement
  • Vignette intensity to combat motion sickness
  • Automatic reeling strength
  • Three different reeling control methods

Tutorials

• Overhauled the tutorial by splitting it into three separate and more open tutorial rooms:
  • Parkour: Learn about jumping, long-jumping, wall-jumping, and floating or gliding with bubbles
  • Gumlines: Learn about how your gum shooters work and get the hang of swinging around 
  • Combat: Practice fighting dummies and shooting targets

Miscellaneous

• Running speed has been increased, with an additional sprinting state when moving forward as quickly as possible
• The game can no longer be paused, in the interest of making the menu and the tutorials accessible at any time
• The opening sequence can be skipped by pressing the SKIP button behind you
• The ending screen now gives you a few statistics, including how long it took you to complete all the objectives, what your fastest speed was, and how many times you used each ability
• Added new music tracks to enhance the swinging experience
• Removed ability to tether objects together with gumlines, as it interfered with throwing dummies
• Various minor improvements and bug fixes

What are you waiting for?  Quit sitting around and start swinging around!
