We've got a new version with tons of new stuff!
1. Two new variants
We have two brand new variants for the match!
🔥 Lava pool
Description: THE FLOOR IS LAVA.
⏫ Claustrophobia
Description: THE FLOOR IS MOVING (and the ceiling is death).
Here’s a preview of these two dangerous variants, we’ll let you discover in the game 🔥
2. A better ball 🥎
We’ve worked a lot on the physics and the feeling of the ball!
It’s now way more responsive to your toaster’s movement: you can slow it down or speed it up more easily, and it moves along in your direction as you push it. Overall, it’s now a lot more controllable. Try it out and tell us what you think!
3. Other cool things
Toasts:
- You can now catch your opponent’s toast in the air, ninja style. 🍞🐱👤
Audio:
- A lot of audio sources were not properly mixed, making them really loud even with the FX volume turned down. Now all the sounds are properly mixed.
- Some of you also reported that the game was just too loud in general, so we reduced the overall volume a bit 💜
Team placement:
- A lot of you were confused with the placement of the toaster when playing with two players on the same keyboard. Now the player with WASD is invited to join first in the locker room, and is always placed on the left side of the field, with the player using the arrow keys on the right side.
Basketball variant:
- It is now impossible to score from below the hoop.
- We’ve added nets to the hoops with cool cloth simulations, and the ball now has a proper basketball texture. Woah, NBA budget. 🏀💲
Ceiling launchers variant:
- If you are not in front of your goal when your adversary touches the launch button, the launcher will now fire the ball directly into your goal, so the choice of going after the toast is a bit riskier.
Portal variant:
-Fixed the bug with the ball disappearing when entering a portal (turns out it was getting stuck inside the toaster and teleporting everywhere on the map).
Wave variant:
- The gap between the wave platforms and the ground is now invisible before the wave starts, making the variant a complete surprise.
Infinite toasts variant:
- It’s now easier to get back on your feet (your toaster’s feet) when you fall on your side with infinite toasts coming out your slots. The recoil from launching a toast is also a little bit bigger on this variant. 💥
Explosive ball variant:
- Fixed a problem with the sound of the bomb continuing to move up in pitch even after exploding.
- The timer of the bomb is now a fixed timer instead of random, making it easier to predict when the ball will explode.
- We fixed the color of toaster explosions. Burners now explode in red particles, and Defrosters in blue particles (gotta wear those team colors until the end 🔥❄).
Thanks for sticking with us 💜
