Being able to pan the camera up and down would be nice
Fixed in S4!

Season 4 release date confirmed
A bit late and I haven't seen it mentioned in the other comments: The biggest issue I see with fan favourites is the increased qualification rate for most of the modes. Most modes except round 1/2 races have a 60% qualification rate in the main show, but are increased to 75(ish)% in fan favourites. Not really sure what the motivation was here if it's not a bug, just changing the qualification rates to the original value would bring down the final to 10 players on average, rather than the 15 no one seems to be happy with (60 x 0.75 (round 1) x 0.63 (rounds 2-4), rather than 60 x 0.754 ,assuming no Slime Climb / Block Party)
Good spot! Will raise with the team :)
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! The next time we run this show we'll make sure we implement some of the changes mentioned here.
Block Party is also on that list for some Variation work too!
Possible variations: - Hole in the middle with fan blowing outward in a circle from the middle - Fan rotating around the outside like jump blowdown - Holes throughout the map in a geometric pattern to start with. Every center tile in a 3x3 grid is a hole
I'd love to do some new starting structures for Thin ice! Always wanted to do one that starts with 3 seconds and breakable bridges between them, for example.
Consider us impressed!
One bit of feedback is that, generally, we try to avoid overdoing it with slippery/icey surfaces as continuously moving on a flat slidey surfaces does tend to frustrate players. You have to use it as a bit of a novelty section (the end of Hit Parade) or find a way to increase the 'fun factor' (Ski Fall).
The idea of focusing a round around deliberately falling down is lovely though. Super original and I love the attention to detail in all your designs. Great job!
I play this game a few nights a week and I am STILL grinding for kudos when I do, and can only choose a thing or two to purchase at a time. Thank you for this! Only the best players have thousands even after buying everything. I'm so excited! Kinda bummed I work 24 hours between Sat and Sun but i guess I know what i'm doing Friday night now :D
I'm constantly kudos broke and anyone who says I only put this event on to fix that is getting perma-banned.
We're totally doing this.
Hey! So generally our variation updates focus on introducing the new obstacles from each season, and Block Party always feels like it falls outside of that remit when we're figuring out where best to use these new obstacles as it's a pretty custom level. Adding stuff like flippers to the floor, for example, has never felt like it would work cleanly or be that fun.
It does feel like it's increasingly needing a fresh coat of paint though. If the demand is high enough we can look at it!
Since it's a special costume, hoping it's a Red Panda Network collaboration https://www.redpandanetwork.org/contribute/adopt/
Great shout!
We don't have the functionality in game to tag things as 'discounts' unfortunately. If we could this would totally be one as it's about 10,000 kudos cheaper than any other legendary skins we've released so far!
As someone born in the Year of the Monkey, which is supposed to have a big year in 2021... this is a great start!

This is to bridge us over until we sort the starting line out in S4 as referenced in yesterday's news post!
By “this is to bridge us over”, are you saying that this won’t be a permanent change? If so, I hope you’ll reconsider since Fall Mountain just doesn’t work well with a large amount of people.
Nope! Consider this lowering permanent. We're looking at ways to get everyone spawning in a straight line (something we can't fix remotely like we can with min/max player counts).
Truly the best 5 crowns I've ever spent. Honk!
Finally, took yall months to finally restrict the cap to 10. I honestly think it should've been done sooner because it is just a player cap change, nothing else hard to do.
I think it's totally fair to say we should have done this sooner! We'd wanted to make a more significant change in response to the feedback but this feels like the right thing to do as the team are hard at work on S4 right now.
Hi Joe,
Will any bean who wants to be able to join in on the beta testing? Or is there a pre-selected group. Personally I've been playing since launch and highly sensitive to the physics changes over time with 340 hours under my belt. So this is something myself and I'm sure many other players in my shoes would love to get in on to check out the process.
I'll make sure we put a call out here when we're looking for more testers!
With the physics perhaps you should put in a public testing limited time show. Then the players can directly assess physics changes without it affecting main show.
We'll definitely be doing closed beta tests with the community before anything goes live. It's the only way we get enough coverage to have confidence in the changes we're making!
Thanks for the video! We've been playing with some updates internally this week that are looking to fix issues exactly like this. More info soon!
Did they remove the old one so? I get they have to try please everyone but getting this variation as a round 2 is painful
We haven't removed the old one at all! It's just a different variation that focuses more on the Season 3 objects a bit more. If you play Main show the OG Big Fans is still there.
