Hi again!
We're back with an update that fixes many issues from the previous update. Many bugfixes has been made, but most important stuff is described below.
Manual passes 2.0
Many of you have complained about this new feature. We are confident, that we want this feature in the game, because it gives a lot more options during gameplay, so instead of stripping it, decision has been made to improve it.
Ground passes are now again on key press, not on release, so they are faster. Kick force is calculated automatically and correction has been made in detecting which teammate is the pass receiver. This greatly improves dynamics of the game.
Ball still needs to be trapped manually, but it's now bigger by 20% and player's trap range has been increased by 33%, so now it should be easier to receive a pass (although some practice is still required).

Shooting on one key
The [D] key and (B) button are now used only for shooting (slide tackle has been moved to a different key, read below):
- Pressing it quickly with the ball performs a direct shot (always towards opponent's goal).
- Holding it with the ball enters the precise shot mode.
- Holding it while running under a falling ball performs an air shot (always towards opponent's goal).
- New! Holding it while running into an unowned ball on the ground performs a stronger direct shot (always towards opponent's goal).
Swapped controls
We had to move slide tackle to the [A] key and (X) button and air shot to the [D] key and (B) button due to the above changes, to make things more consistent. To ensure that the game is playable for most of our community we've decided to reset customized controls, so the new keys can work properly. If you've customized your controls, then you'll need to do that again, very sorry!
The new stuff requires getting feel of it and some practice. Please be patient and report any feeback after playing at least a little longer.
If you're one of the people giving Kopanito a negative review just because of the previous update, then consider updating that review.
