Update .31 out now: POWER-UPS! Jetpacks, Huge Balls, and new SFX!

I'm extremely excited to announce that Update .31 has now been released! It's called the POWER-UP UPDATE for two good reasons:

Power Ups

- There are now seven different power-ups you can collect around the arena: Jetpacks, Huge Dodgeballs, Laser Dodgeballs (that fly fast in a straight line and bounce 3 times), Homing Dodgeballs, Spring Jump, Super Boost, and Monster Truck Tire (which gives you extreme traction for dodging). I made sure these are all a ton of fun to use while maintaining the balance of the game. They can of course be disabled if you wish.

New Sound FX

- All new sound effects from the best in the business, Power-Up Audio! They've worked on Crypt of the Necrodancer, Towerfall, Darkest Dungeon, and a ton more awesome games. I think they add an incredible sense of physicality to the movement and combat and I think you'll really enjoy the upgrade.

Also made some minor but important fixes / changes:

  • The bot spawn shield looks much cooler
  • The Match Settings panel has been reconfigured in a way that will allow me to easily add new customization options in the future
  • Hoops Assist and Mid-Air KO stats now tracking properly
  • Fixed bug where players couldn't move after remapping controls
  • Fixed Anti-Air achievement not working (where you catch a helicopter-thrown shot)
  • Fixed 'GO!' message showing up too early

Thanks as always for playing and hope you enjoy this update!
