Are you including glitches on this time line(not hacks just glitches)?

 

Hacks are not part of actual updates so I'm not putting them in. I am aware that this game has been here since 2013, but I was not an actual part of the community until early 2017, so I am only putting in dates I remember. I don't remember what date the heli was added, every single featured track was featured or when the site refurbished it's powerup graphics. Plus, this was created back on Feb 16, and I have updated it constantly since. I haven't just created this thread today or yesterday, but every time some important update comes, I go back here and edit. I also mentioned "I am starting to forget the dates and I would be appreciative if people helped me out on when they officially came out, as well suggesting other updates that should be added.", so if you're not satisfied, you can help me out.

 

I am including neither hacks nor glitches, just important updates to the site.

 

Play my power up “hack” levels, they are just glitches that I found that are “game breaking”

 

Grid Size - January 26, 2015
You also need the release dates of the: offline editor, mobile app, helicopter, and official contest. Maybe even campaign release dates.
You could also add different upload trends, like coin giveaways. Also birth and death of sparkle motion.

 

k I'll look those dates up, though I'm not sure what you mean by 'different upload trends'. If you mean crazes like those times when people were just making generated hill climbs or hill falls then I don't think I can add those, as their start/end dates are very vague - it's not concrete as in it definitely started and ended here - plus those crazes could come back into fashion.

 

Bloody hell, I've been looking at the game changes and update part of the forums, which will probably be my main influence here, and there are so many posts and a few removed features even. I don't want to put them all here, so can you guys please tell me which are the most important? Still going to do heli/campaigns/editor/app though

 

I have not played for a year but yes there have been a lot of updates recently and none of the were put in the updates section

 

damn, I'm having a hard time finding the release date of heli. I thought that'd be the easier one.

 

do a lot more work and make this better this is a cool idea and really great it done correctly id like to see it but your gonna have to do a lot more work than what you have

i couldve swore the grid sizes weren't until 2017 atleast the sizes above and below 100%

 

Yeah, I made this mostly for new updates, rather than the older ones I have no knowledge of, maybe you could help me with dates?

 

WyattStonhouse said in his post that grid sizes were on that date

 

i might go around the forum and look for the heli that should be easier, but if i ever get some time ill definitely get some important dates like the remix contest too and the first FRHD award things not to mention some stuff they used to have on the forum

oct 27 2015 is when the first look of the heli was released

 

I've looked at the updates page and Char's status, but no official date. All I know is that it happened somewhere round the twenty-somethingth of October, 2015

 

Todredrob Thanks for the effort, dude : )

 

yeah i got it oct 27th 2015 is the release of the heli

 

thanks!

 

Wow, I'm getting all nostalgic looking back at these threads. You know at one time the character was given the wilhelm scream occasionally at high-speed collisions. I should add that, but I don't know when they removed it, so maybe not.
