• Ice bumping now rewards 5 coins per 5 bumps instead of just 1.
• We've created a harder to catch coin worth 50 Star Coins.
• Lastly, we want to reward you for playing more and getting better - with every 1000 points you make, you will earn Star Coins. It starts at 5 Star Coins for 1000 points, and then doubles for every 1000 points after that. So if you hit 2000 points you'll earn 10 Star Coins, 3000 points earns you 20 Star Coins, etc.

• New feature: Music Jukebox - we have now opened up all the music tracks in the game, even if you haven't unlocked the theme yet, and you can now enable the music jukebox feature, which will basically loop through the tracks you've selected.
• New feature: Bubble Shield - sometimes you just cannot avoid catching something like ice or a penalty with the Star, so we've created a Bubble Shield which you can unlock as a once off purchase of StarCoins. Once unlocked, you can hit Space Bar or X on your controller once per minute to give you a shield for 2 seconds that will only allow Stars and StarCoins through. With this, there's also a new power-up, which decreases the recharge time for the shield by 10 seconds.
• New feature: You can now disable the depositing of Stars by holding in either Shift Keys or Y on your controller - especially handy if you have the "faster basket" power-up active and don't want to accidentally deposit a non-full basket!
• New feature: On the Play Screen we now show handy tips which will help you play the best Catch a Falling Star game of your life!
• Improvement: StarCoins are not affected by wind as much anymore, making them a bit easier to catch in general.
• Improvement: We've reduced the penalty for when you deposit a full basket with Ice in.
• Kobayashi maru: We've improved how we handle the online leader-boards - Did some more highscore hacking/cheating prevention :)
• Changed: we modified the 1000 Stars achievement on Steam's end, which we think will sort out the issue where some players get stuck at 999/1000 stars for the Achievement. Please let us know if you guys who are affected by this are still having issues with this achievement.

• So, Achievement Hunters - have fun! there are close to 50 of them to go for! We've coded in a feature to make the achievements that you would have gotten to trigger when you play the game. For example, if you put a high score of 3000 points, then the relevant score related achievements will trigger (you don't have put up a score like that again.)
• We also added the High Scores button on the main menu, so you don't have to wait till after an actual game to view them :)
• Lastly, when a star now falls off the side of the screen, it explodes.
