Version 1.02.0
New Additions
A new online mode has been added - Global Gauntlet! This is a special ladder tournament mode that will only open up occasionally. Win as many matches as you can in 24 hours to get the highest score! The first Global Gauntlet is Sunday, February 15th, at 8:00 AM EST (13:00 UTC) to Monday, February 16th, at 8:00 AM EST (13:00 UTC). Join the Discord server (https://discord.gg/69hj7mMKfj) to claim your prize after the tournament.
Replays are now saved at the end of matches. You can view your replays in the Collections menu. By default the 20 most recent match replays are saved, but you can star as many replays as you want to save them permanently.
Steam Cloud Saves were added.
You can now Spectate matches online. In Spectator mode, you will cycle through random Global online matches. In Friends mode, you can select a friend who’s already matched with an opponent to Spectate their matches.
Tag meter now regenerates immediately in Practice mode. Like Health regen, you can turn this off in the pause menu.
Move lists are now viewable from the pause menu in all offline modes.
Added a full-screen toggle and resolution settings in the Options menu.
Figurines were added to Collections. With figurines, you can view character models up close, and read some more lore and backstory snippets!
New Stamps were added to unlock figurines for each of the 8 fighters currently in the game - check the Stamps menu for hints!
Players now earn Ink at the end of matches. You can spend Ink in the Ink Shop (Collections menu) for more costumes and figurines. You earn 2x Ink from online matches and 3x Ink from the Global Gauntlet (so if you want to get Ink fast, participate in the Gauntlet!)
Added a sixth costume for Willie that can be unlocked in the Ink Shop.
Added a sixth costume for Alice that can be unlocked in the Ink Shop.
Added Steam Achievements tied to each of the available Stamps.
Bug Fixes
In the Versus menu, fixed an issue where the button input to change CPU difficulty wouldn’t be aligned properly.
Fixed a softlock where you could be stuck in an online match if the opponent quit during the load screen.
Improved dropped inputs online, especially for moves that involve mashing the button like Wendy’s Believer Bash.
Fixed an issue where if your online opponent loaded back to the main menu faster than you, you wouldn’t get the match winner text on-screen.
Fixed a bug with Wendy’s Supercharge where the throw would activate if it touched an opponent’s projectile.
Fixed a bug with Dorothy’s Supercharge where the Farmhouse wouldn’t appear if the Cyclone hit the opponent near the edge of the screen.
In all online modes, fixed an issue where costumes would break between matches.
Fixed an issue in Versus modes where the costume selection menu would sometimes say “Badges”.

Other Changes
In Scarecrow Shakedown, meter gain ignores the penalty from using a motion-input super. This means you can spam more supers versus the Scarecrow, so update your high scores!
Adjusted the description of Stamps that require a Scarecrow Shakedown score to make it clear that only the external Scarecrow Shakedown mode, not the bonus mode in Arcade, count for unlocking the Stamp.
