Let it not be said that Marcus Eckert isn't listening to his audience. A recent update
has overhauled Wide Sky with a seemingly minor, but drastically helpful quality-of-life update
to the interface that proves to be the difference between sheer frustration and casual, mindless
fun. An indicator on your hedgehog lets you keep track of where the rope will appear,
and once latched on to a cloud you'll also receive a handy arrow pointing you in the
direction of your rotation. These elements alone make movement throughout the gamespace
far smoother and almost intuitive, allowing you to pull off the game's many acheivements
without pulling out your hair. There's still more visual appeal than actual substance to
the gameplay, but at least you won't be fighting the controls at the same time.
