Hey there pilots! We have a huge update today including controller support, car controls, AI etc. Let's quickly jump to the bullets:

• Full controller support! You asked for it, we did it. Now you can play Cranks and Goggles with your gamepad (hopefully it will work great). Please let us know in the discussion forums if you experience major issues.
• New and improved OPTIONS screen. We already knew that the OPTIONS screen had some usability issues. New option screen has its own menu and it's better optimised for gamepad use.
• "Pinball-ing cars" bug has been resolved. Don't ask how.
• New car controls! This is the most important part of this update because we almost have a new game. You may even call v0.12 "Vanilla Cranks and Goggles" because on v0.13, steering, rolling, spinning, jumping, springs, tires, all have changed for good.
• Less side slamming when taking turns.
• Slower steering sensitivity on higher speeds. Quicker steer time when counter steering.
• No more surprise rollovers. We thank our track ad sponsor L'Amortisseur Romilly for letting us use their new suspension on our cars. https://twitter.com/cranksNgoggles/status/759389808053592064
• Lift-off oversteer has been reduced on some cars.
• Quicker handbrake time and more powerful handbrake. It's useful on hairpins or when car understeers.
• No more "Reset Car" option. Yes. Sorry. Hardcore racing time from now on. It was there to help you because cars were very unpredictable. You are now on your own.
• Bigger minimap.
• Bring it on! More competitive more aggressive AI. Our beloved hardcore racing gamers were complaining about AI being too slow in advanced races and they were right. We've made 2 new classes for AI competitiveness, CrazyFast & InsaneFast. That's enough spoilers.
• Some text smoothing
• "New lap" notification had disappeared on previous patch, we put it back.
• Some cars have new engine sounds. Still testing new ones. Quote of the day: "Races are not won in the first corner; however, they are often lost there." Ross Bentley, Speed Secrets.
