# What's new

Versions go 0.MINOR.PATCH: the middle number goes up when something new arrives, the last one for fixes. The game
shows its version at the bottom of **Settings**.

## 0.2.0 · October 4, 2026 · Power-ups and hazards

All the power-ups from the original *Big Bumpin'* are in. Drive over one to use it right away. The puck smashes any it
rolls over.

- **Overdrive**: faster, but twitchy, and your cart creeps forward on its own
- **Protector**: heavy and hard-hitting, but slow
- **Super Magnet**: pulls the puck toward you
- **Leech**: the next cart you touch slows down (even a teammate)
- **Repulse**: pushes carts and the puck away
- **Heavy Puck**: the puck turns hard to move, for everyone

Also new:

- **Bumpers** on both sides of the center circle fling carts and the puck
- **Practice Gym**: a pad for every power-up (plus Repair) and a hazard yard with holes, a trapdoor button, ice,
  spinning saws and bumpers, with an energy bar to lose
- **How to Play** explains the power-ups
- Smoother edges and a touch of film grain

## 0.1.0 · September 26 to October 3, 2026 · First playtests

- **Bumpin' Hockey**, 2 on 2: ghost-driven bumper carts knock a jack-o'-lantern into crypt-gate goals, with sudden
  death on a tie. Bots fill empty spots
- **Couch play** for up to 4 (gamepads plus two on one keyboard), with 9 ghost drivers to pick from
- **Online rooms**: quick match or a private room code, couch and online players together, and rematches
- **Phones and tablets**: on-screen stick and BOOST, tap-friendly menus
- **Practice Gym**: a big lot with live speed and turning numbers
- Sound, Settings and Credits. Point the stick behind you and the cart swings around
