Hey everyone!
Here comes the patch for the upcoming playtest weekend!
We've made some impactful changes that should add more freedom and depth to the gameplay. We’re excited to hear your feedback!
UPDATED ABILITY
- Dash
- Now has 3 charges.
- If a player deflects while dashing, the ball will curve in the direction of the dash.
NEW MECHANIC
- Ball curving
- Players can now curve the ball by deflecting while dashing:
- Dash left → Ball curves left
- Dash right → Ball curves right
- Dash forward → Deflects harder forward
- Dash backward → Temporarily slows down the ball
- Players can now curve the ball by deflecting while dashing:
Dev note: The ball will still target the player you’re looking at, but if you dash left while deflecting, it will curve left toward your target.
Dev note 2: This is our first iteration of ball curving. We have more ideas for refining the mechanic, but we’d love your feedback before making further changes! [THANKS EMOTE]
VFX
- New kill markers added:
- Gravestone
- Flower
- Trash Can
Dev note: These kill markers are tied to player level progression and can be unlocked by playing.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where players retained velocity from the lobby when spawning into the arena.
- Fixed an issue with the sprint animation.
- Fixed a bug where Mega Jump VFX could spawn multiple times.
- Fixed some sound issues related to sudden death.
