Hey Bombers,
Sorry for the radio silence over the past month! Rest assured, we're finally back in action with some new enhancements to Bomber Barn...
Sudden Death
Draws are so boring! By popular demand, we've added a sudden death that kicks in when the round timer expires.
During sudden death, your bomber will begin to automatically drop bombs. As more time passes, you drop them faster and faster, leaving a deadly trail of flames close behind!
Special thanks to riku.petteri for the inspiration ːsteamhappyː
Feline Finesse
We've buffed the Quick Cat, with a new Passive Ability called Feline Finesse. In addition to the usual (faster starting movement), you can now always pass through your own bombs!
This opens up your mobility options a lot and should be a significant buff, especially when playing with certain mix-ins that make everyone speedy to begin with.
Special thanks to lcd_screen for this suggestion ːsteamhappyː
Elimination Indicators
When playing in Elimination mode, it was sometimes unclear who got credit for a certain elimination (or if you died to your own bomb).
Now, whenever someone scores an elimination, a "+1" icon will pop up for a few moments in their corner portrait, indicating a point.
Keyboard Controls Modal
On the Title Screen, if no controllers are plugged in, some brief intro text will appear, showing the keyboard controls for P1 and P2. This way, it's up front, without requiring players to look up readmes, etc.
Bug Fixes & Optimizations
- Fixed bug that did not correctly register bots as players in the match (thanks, MILKMAN and Dexter Monster!)
- Slightly optimized the clouds coming out of Dojo Donkey's kicks
