Pingo Adventure v0.2.3

v0.2.3 #

Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster!

Loading is much faster in 0.2.3 with the better background loading and circular loading icon will be shown whenever loading in background.

Pick up animation is made faster for smoother control, while lifting animation is enhanced so that item jiggling as Pingo move or jump around.

Load screen has been redesigned to show loading progress and UI’s texture aliasing has been fixed, along with many more improvements in QOL.
