Nimbus is a unique combination of racing & puzzling. The player controls a craft with no means of directly propelling itself and needs to use whatever is scattered around the levels to acquire thrust and reach the goal. Traverse a world map with several distinct islands in order to recover your lost love. Light on story, but heavy on gameplay Nimbus offers several hours of increasingly harder challenges.

Changes:
- The number of picked coins for a particular level made a bit more easy to understand, instead of just a gray circle it’s now a grayed out coin instead.
- The startup crash should be fixed now.
- Better controller support. It defaults to a rather sane default targeted at the 360 controller. One can change the mappings under the settings menu. Mapping keyboard keys also works here. The default mappings of the arrow keys, return and escape can’t be changed however as that would enable accidental configurations that can’t be fixed from the in game menus. To unbind a key / button from an action, just remap the action to the same key / button again.
- Fixed a potential exploit.
- Optimized the particle systems for better FPS. Lots of small tweaks that we’ve confirmed increases FPS across the board, we’ll try to do some more work on this front in future patches.
- Intro now skippable by hitting the key bound to Back to map ( defaults to escape / backspace ).
- Short description of the difference between different difficulty levels.
