• Added Arena upgrade for UFO: Warp Drive - your UFO and its projectiles are faster.

• Added a skin for UFO: Jello.

General Gameplay

• Removed shield pokes. (Shield poking was the ability to hit shielding opponents by attacking the part of their body not covered by shield).

• Increased damage taken by shields by 10%.

• Reduced number of frames that the ledge remains "occupied" when a player gets off the ledge.

Warp Mine

• When placing a mine on top of an opponent it'll now stick to them. This works through shield. As with regular mines, mines stuck to your opponent can be detonated or teleported to.

• Slightly increased fuel recharge rate.

Parasol

• Float hitbox extends slightly further downward. This combined with the universal ledge change makes it more difficult to ledgehog parasol's up special.

• Increased inner hitbox size of side special.

Harpoon
