- Accessibility update - 10 January 2023
With this, I want to bring attention to the latest series of updates that King Boo has enjoyed: mostly centered around lowering the barrier of entry even further. These latest updates were triggered by my own daughter (3yrs old) who is just starting to show interest in video games but struggling a little. Indeed she kept falling off the map and I was confronted with the fact that King Boo failed to deliver on its mission: to be an absolute easiest entry point into gaming for young gamers. There are, for now, still places where the player can fall (at moving platforms or bridges) but 99% of all edges are now protected.

- Version 2.5: bugfixes and hints now available - 7 January 2023
Hi all, Some bugs were resolved with this update, including the blocked bridge on lvl2 when edge protection was active. Another feature is included with this update: you can now enable/disable hints from the pause screen. Enabling hints will add an on-screen arrow that points in the direction of the nearest pickup. This "soft" helper should help players to find that last pickup that they're looking for. Looking forward to your feedback! Kind regards, Nicolas

Major new features since launch include: A tutorial level - after feedback that some players found the main world overwhelming without gentle introduction. Flowers - Dirt is scattered throughout the world and with a magic touch, King Boo can grow beautiful flowers! Who doesn't like zen flower growing? The boat - a boat now connects two key locations in the world. Balloons!! - Feedback was given that some players found navigation quite difficult. Luckily now there are balloons around!
