For this update I've implemented an in-game help menu with a few basic information topics. I've also published two steam guides covering the basics of the achivements and one with specifics on how the XP works for S-Ranks.

How-To Play

In these menus you'll find various information ranging from launching your ball, and the power indicator behavior, to how earning XP works such as for when chasing S-Ranks. It is available to all local players in addition to player 1. A noteworthy feature is that it will pull data from the specific player so anything like controls or how HUD elements look will be mimiced to reflect that.

This section can be found in the game menu such as when pausing the game. Over time the topics covered can be expanded up-on, to start with I just wanted to provide answers to commonly asked questions and anything I think might be especially helpful to know. I welcome any feedback you may have and suggestions to topics to cover, also nothing is too 'basic' to cover if you can think of something. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2902748855 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980309900

Steam Guides

I've posted two guides, the first giving a bit of additional information relating to each of the achivements, and the second a break down of how scoring works for S-Ranks. You are free to take any information, images, and so-on from these two guides i've specifically made to write your own guides if you feel you can do a better job, or to post on other websites. I just wanted to get the information kind-of out there and felt this was a good medium to do so. Where it will differer to what I've included in the game is that I can go into a little more in-depth and you will be able to ask questions in the comments if you feel I've missed something.
