Version 0.3.2 of Punch Planet is now released! Last week at EVO was a ton of fun for us and it was so awesome seeing everyone that came out, thank you all for the support! This patch is mostly gameplay changes from feedback / observations we got at the event.
Walk Speeds
Walk speeds have been slightly adjusted for all characters. Most characters had their backward speeds increased, and Roy / Cid have had their forward speed slightly reduced. Overall this should be a defensive buff to the neutral game.
Jumps
All characters have had their horizontal jump distances slightly decreased, should make spacing against jump attacks slightly easier for the character on the ground and slightly reduce the effectiveness of jumping in.
Airborne Attack Damage
Standardized the damage values on all jumping attacks so that it will be easier to balance in the future. Each airborne attack now references a shared value for its damage, and also allows for an offset to adjust on a per-move basis. Base values are Light = 20, Medium = 40, Heavy = 60.
Maxx
Since he was just released, Maxx is still a little rough around the edges, most of his changes are geared towards bringing him a bit more in line in effectiveness and usability.
- Cr.LK: Now super cancellable
- Jp.LP / Jp.LK: Fixed doing way too much damage
- St.MP: Increased push back, increased hit box range
- St.MK: Decreased startup
- Cr.MK: Decreased hit / block stun
- St.HP: Increased push back, increased hit stun, decreased block stun
- Hook Swing: Increased damage on L / M versions
- Horny Toad: Increased damage, adjusted hit box
- G.A.P: Decreased projectile invincibility, adjusted hurt boxes (easier to hit),
- decreased startup on H version, fixed double meter gain
- Buff-U: No longer gains meter on initial use (only when getting the buff)
- Last Call (Buffed): Decreased damage
Agent-G
Agent-G feels a bit weak in health and damage so we wanted to buff him up a little bit. I felt like he was already pretty strong, but the amount of work he has to do to get his wins feels a bit high compared to the other characters.
- Increased health
- Increased damage scale
- Cr.HP: Decreased damage
- Cr.HK: Increased hit box range
- Lunar Disk: Decreased horizontal spawn position of the projectile
Roy
Not a lot changing with Roy, just a buff to his Cr.HK so that it's slightly faster (combos from LP.Gunshot xx DTC now) and applies a longer knockdown
- Cr.HK: Decreased startup, increased knockdown frames, increased push back
Cid
Cid is strong
- Jp.MP (Charged): Adjusted juggle physics, decreased juggle value
- Cr.HP (Charged): Adjusted hop cancel physics and attack timing
- Cr.HK: Increased knockdown frames
- Grenade: Decreased horizontal spawn position of the projectile, decreased hit and block stun on L / M / H versions, increased x velocity of all versions, decreased active frames
Stage Music
Added training mode versions of all stage tracks, which are just longer versions and incorporate the entire songs. The tracks used for gameplay are broken up into Round 1 / Round 2 (sound difference) but in training you would only ever hear the Round 1 version, now you'll hear the entire track.
Input
Decreased input leniency when coming out of a Dash. This was done specifically to make it easier to do Agent-G Dash -> Legendary Sentai, but there really didn't need to be as much leniency as there was.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug with the battle camera that would cause the depth of field to become enabled after a rollback, even when it was disabled in the settings. Should help with slowdowns on lower-end machines when doing command grabs / super freeze.
- Fixed an issue when checking for collisions that could allow a command grab to hit on the same frame as a projectile, causing undesired issues..
- Fixed a bug when using projectiles that caused them not to record their start frame correctly, fixes a bug with using a projectile for the first time in a game.
- Fixed any instances of KO sequences using soft knockdown instead of hard, fixes any cases of players being able to quick rise after a KO

* H
* Decreased airborne startup state frames from 33 to 28
* Total startup decreased from 45 to 40
* G.A.P Followup (hit)
* All Versions
* Fixed hits destroying projectiles
* Didn't really cause an issue just looked weird
* Buff-U
* Normal Version
* Removed initial meter gain on use
* Now only gains meter when buff is applied
* Increased meter gain when buff is applied from 250 to 300
* Last Call (Buffed)
* Decreased base damage from 220 to 210
* Effective damage decreased from 355 to 339
* Stage Music
* Added training mode version of each track
* More of a full track instead of broken up into round 1 / 2 versions
* Previously in training mode it would only play the round 1 version of the music
* Character Select
* Updated character selected sound
* Counter Hits
* Decreased volume of counter hit "ding" sound
* KO Hit Sequences
* Fixed all instances of KO hit sequences that used soft knockdowns instead of hard
* This fixes being able to quick rise after being KOed by certain moves
* Input
* Leniency
* Decreased Dash from 8 to 4 (leniency coming out of dash)
* Damage
* Can now specify a secondary value for normal base damage
* Similar to how CH / Block damage can be specified, allows the base damage of an attack to be able to be defined as a composite of values
* Base Normal Damage = Normal Damage + Extra Normal Damage
* Most of the time it will just be the Normal Damage (Extra = 0)
* Can allow tying an attacks damage to a generic damage value (ie, Damage_Light_Airborne instead of just "20") but also allow defining an extra variance
* Useful if we want an attack to be like Damage_Light_Airborne + 10, so that if the base value changes it can still affect things that want to reference it (like an offset)
* Could expand on this into the future with a more generic "CompositeDamage" system that just contains a list of values / references
* Values
* Added Damage_Light_Airborne (20)
* Added Damage_Medium_Airborne (40)
* Added Damage_Heavy_Airborne (60)
* Added Damage_ScaleIncrease (1.15)
* Added Damage_ScaleDecrease (0.85)
* Battle Camera
* Fixed a bug that would enable depth of field during rollback, even if it was disabled in the settings.
* This would definitely cause issues on machines that are struggling to maintain framerate and had DOF disabled, and cause more framerate drops specifically in super freeze / command grabs
* Collision Box Controller
* Changed collision logic so that when a grab happens, all other collisions (projectiles) are discarded
* This fixes an issue where a grab from one character and a projectile from the other could collide on the same frame, causing the grabbing character to be hit and the character being grabbed to be held
* Move Controller
* Moves now have their start frame assigned from the gameplay controller's simulation frame, rather than their entity's current frame
* This fixes an issue with projectiles not setting their start frame correctly when using for the first time, which was causing them to not work correctly with the juggle value
* Mainly fixes Agent-G EX.Fireball xx DTC -> EX.Fireball not removing juggle value correctly on the first fireball
