Hi All!
With this release, we're fixing the issues caused by latency.
Some of the problems you've raised include the Ghost Ball, High Latency Player Advantage, and Block Ball Kills.
The experience should be a LOT better now. Please send us feedback and bugs as you encounter them!
Also, we've added a new feature that lets you easily find Steam players you've recently played with. We've all found new friends through Smashbox Arena, and this feature lets you connect easier.
Really appreciate your continued support as we make the game better with each release!
