Changes

• Increased the Critter characters' visual size. - New player coloured paint splashes on player death, replacing meaty gibs and blood. - Dynamic elements in Hunt will stop moving after a round ends. - Altered the design of Frozen Fjord. This includes rotating the level to improve the visibility of the ledges. - Changed the "Powerup Paddles" in the middle of Harvest Hell to instead be large grates, should result in more predictable movement in the center of the map. - Removed the large circular conveyor from Crystal Track. - Changed the icon for the Speedboost powerup. - Hunt now has a powerup meteor limit. This is currently the number of players, minus one. If this limit is reached, then no new powerups will spawn until an existing powerup meteor has been collected. - Changed the behaviour of the camera when a Hunt game is over. - Players will no longer die after a round ends. - Bear path finding has been noticeably improved. Bears should typically run into walls less than they used to. - Bears can no longer path-find through bear drop boxes. - Powerups used while frozen will be consumed to thaw the player. - Changes to the Bear Rage mechanic: * Bears will not break their rage unless they are within proximity of the player for a short period of time, or the player activates Cloak. * If a single player has been chased for a specific period of time, then rage can trigger early on another player. - Charge upgrade path in Gauntlet only increases Charge notches and doesn't decrease Cooldown times, other skills have been rebalanced to suit. - Changed Blink skill behaviour in Gauntlet. Base teleport distance is increased. Higher levels in blink do not increase this, but instead reduce recharge time. - Increased the camera angle in Gauntlet. The game view is now from higher up than before. -Higher contrast UI for Dead Player indicators and Blink reticule. - Re-ordered asset loading to load the first game screen quicker. - Gauntlet level up menus no longer overlap. - Some input prompts adapt to the player controller or keyboard layout. - Slightly changed the appearance of ice floors. - The camera will no longer focus on dead players in Gauntlet. Instead there will be an onscreen indicator to show other players where the dead players are. - Changed some UI sounds. - Slightly changed the camera behaviour in the Gauntlet finale.
