Ultimate Sheep Raccoon Change Log
Here’s the change log for Ultimate Sheep Raccoon! If you’re looking for info on how
we’re continuing to improve the game, see the USR Future Work page.
V1.3 - 2026-02-19 — Skunk, new blocks, control/physics adjustments, and a ton of other improvements!
The latest update for Ultimate Sheep Raccoon comes directly from the top things the community has been requesting to improve the game, including blocks with more interactivity, control/physics improvements, additional scoring options, a revamped tutorial and a lot more. This isn’t the end though, we’ve already started work on the next update!
Features and Feature Improvements
Added a new character — Skunk!
Added blocks
Sea-mine
Moving hazard
Rotating terrain
We had another one we worked on but didn’t make the cut (explain without saying what it was)
Character control improvements
fixed the issue where the bike wheels pop out to the side after turning
made sure that a jump while falling or double jump always gives upward boost
fixed an issue where the landing animation would get cut off and looked janky
changed how coming down ramps and up ramps works slightly
played with some physics values to make it feel better
Nerfed the umbrella power-up
Made hardcore mode (traps kill players, no respawning) more obvious and its own game mode
“Too Easy, No Points” option added
Added solo points
Reworked the tutorial to include information about the different types of tricks, Hardcore Mode, and feedback for switching control schemes
Platforms
PS5 — launched!
Quality of Life Improvements
Adjustable cursor speed
Windowed & borderless window modes added
Removed the smoothing (easing) on the control to change from level edit → run mode, and on the “hold to give up” control. This was causing frustration as people sometimes would let go of the button too early as the cursor fill circle slowed down.
Added visual and audio feedback when you change control schemes in the tutorial
Added a crown on the host in the lobby
After sharing a custom level online, it now displays the level code so you can copy it and share with your friends
Made saw blades on Dam level more clearly dangerous
Bug Fixes
Missing UI bug, which we think causes the ghost bike issue where a player can control their fallen bike and never respawn — we made a lot of progress on this and it happens much less often, but still happens sometimes. We still have no idea why and can’t reliably reproduce the UI disappear bug, despite hours of QA… will continue trying.
Players no longer get stuck between cannons if they’re placed closely together
Achievement fixes (especially “Not That Way”)
Honey now sticks properly to moving objects (Cranes level objects, rotating terrain)
Game no longer crashes if a player joins as soon as a host leaves the lobby
Resetting in the tutorial doesn’t break the game anymore
Random level can no longer select locked levels
Fixed more issues with Simplified Chinese text
Ghost firework staying on-screen after placing and moving it in level editor mode
Tons of under-the-hood stability improvements
A bunch of UI and localization layout improvements
Refactored the block placement system to allow for more flexibility of how things can be placed
