Flip Out Rush - Update 1.9 Changelog & Patch Notes

Hey everyone! Flip Out Rush Update 1.9 has officially launched on Google Play and Itchio! This update is packed with brand new features, new quality of life additions, new unlockables, and so much more!

Happy Rushing!

Important Things to mention!

In Update 1.8, we added the "Recovery Feature" to recover any of your progress from versions 1.7 and before. We will be removing this feature in Update 2.0. It's been long enough so I figured everyone that wanted to would have recovered their game data already! So the feature will be going away with 2.0's release. That being said, it's going to be a LONG while until the Series 2 Update, so if you haven't played since 1.7, you still have time! With that addressed, let's jump into the changelog!

Thank you all so much for playing Flip Out Rush! Well, that's it for Flip Out Rush Series 1!! I wish this update was packed with more, but unfortunately, some things behind the scenes have got in the way, so this update had to be pushed out a little faster than usual. However, Update 2.0 is the start of Series 2!! A new era for the game which has 2 main goals: Steam Release, and MASSIVE Overhaul with game modes! Update 2.0 will not be rushed, and will be a big update with a lot of time taken to complete! Of course, we need to get through other releases before I can fully commit to Flip Out Rush 2.0, so please be patient with me as we continue to make a ton of fun stuff for you guys!! As always, more Codes will be releasing soon for you guys to use! I've already implemented a few new items that you guys can download, so keep an eye out! We can't wait to show off and discuss more soon! :)
