Welcome to update 2002! The final one where we are testing pre-Early Access build in the community. This article summarizes the updates and reveals new implementations and fixes. Get ready for some DASHing!

Fixes and implementations:

• Worldwide leaderboards: See the Top 5 World Record holders and Top 5 creators, as well as your own position in the list
  
• Default playlists in Custom filter in Play Menu: Beginner Levels and Example List. To help new players learn about playlists and DASH World
• Updated Heroes menu: Amount of diamonds collected and WRs displayed relative to Hero
  
• Default motion is now Sprint instead of Walk, meaning the two mechanics have been swapped. You are now always running and when you hold Ctrl/Z/R1/RB you Walk. Walk can be used to sneak past sleeping enemies (only Sploders for now). Later a crumbling tile will be implemented where it will crumble faster if you are sprinting, so you will have to walk carefully over it otherwise you will fall through.
• Explanation in Play menu over level slots
• Difficulty added to level slot in Play menu (ex.: [Easy] or [Extreme])
• New particles: I took the time to get rid of all non-low-res particles so that all dust clouds, farts, fire and smoke clouds are spawned with a handmade sprite to fit the overall theme. Its amazing how a detail like this (which is so important) really ties everything together even more.
• Rich Presence: Make sure to add DASH to your games library in your Discord user settings! DASH now has Rich presence meaning that it will show Playing DASH: Danger Action Speed Heroes under your logo when you play the game
  
• New ghost/WR ghost polish: the ghosts are now more transparent as the player is closer and becomes up to 90% transparent as it gets further away from player. It finally feels good and not as if the ghost is in the way.
• Set directions of tiles: you are now able to adjust the starting direction of Slappers, Spitters, Slapbats (up and down too) and moving platforms.
  
• Polished player scoreboard design in Main menu: redesigned to indicate the data more clearly
• All in all we have done a lot to meet the feedback from build 2001, where players did not understand the diamond display. Several design features are implemented to help the understanding of the record system
• Confetti when celebrating level uploaded or new world record!
  
• Rating displayed in pause menu, so there is even more info on what you are playing
• New design with more graphics to support the power of the Play menu.
• Help in Editor: while working on a level, new players can easily learn the names of all individual tiles. A small text overlay appears at the bottom of the screen now.

• Short intro sequence
• Handling offline player
• Last animation touches
• New tile set
