Merry Christmas from Refract

Happy holidays! Today we've got a minor update that adds a bit of holiday flare while sneaking in a few improvements. Check out the full changelog below!
In checking out the new build I recommend playing through the incredible Distance Advent Calendar releases from this year:

Distance Advent Calendar 2017 (over 30 levels)

If you missed last week's live stream you can also check that out where a few of the devs play through 21 of the levels in a mini marathon:

Distance is a survival racing game that combines the intense action of arcade racing with the exploration of an atmospheric world. You control a unique car that allows you to boost, jump, rotate, and even fly through a chaotic and twisted city. The world has a mysterious history, and as you explore you'll be able to uncover pieces of its past.

The roads are treacherous and unpredictable with obstacles around every corner. Instead of doing laps on a loop, you'll be trying to survive to the end in the quickest time. Since your car has several abilities, it allows you to not only drive fast on the track but also upside down and on buildings and walls! You can also fly to discover new shortcuts and paths. You'll be able to take on the roads alone, or in multiplayer with your friends!

The game is a spiritual successor to the multi-award winning game Nitronic Rush, created by ourselves and 5 others at DigiPen Institute of Technology. It was widely praised for its innovative mechanics, visual style, audio design, and atmosphere.
