fixedSorry this update took so long, it started out as simply adding achievements and just grew and grew! In this version we totally overhauled the paddle physics, and put much more emphasis on your swing speed (no more wrist-flick garbage!). Due to the new physics, we had to completely re-balance all game modes, which was pretty scary considering the positive feedback we'd already received. Hopefully it's still as fun! Additionally, we weren't happy with the sweet spot implementation, it was way too easy to score with weak shots on your serve. Now, sweet spots are hidden when you're serving, and they only appear after the AI hits the ball. Problem solved :) There's many more changes, including a custom game mode, daily leaderboards, local leaderboards and much more! It's a large update, and we're a small team, so we do expect some bugs. Please let us know in the forums if you find any. Also, please let us know how you like the new balancing. Too hard? Too easy? 1.4 * Daily Leaderboard * Local Leaderboards * Quick Restart * Fixed: Paddle & Ball Physics (No more lag!) * Fixed: Saber sounds * Removed: Sweet Spots on Serve * Updated: Increased point values across the board, since sweet spots are now harder to get. * Updated: Re-balance of all game modes * Updated: Increased bonus point values across the board * Added: Zen Mode Settings * Added: Custom Match Mode * Added: GamePad & Mouse Input for AI controls * Added: 3 new music tracks * Added: Intro Scene w/ Credits & Warning * Added: Game Settings - Music / AI Mute - Master Volume - Playspace - Max Room Height - Playspace - Adjustable Wall Padding - Playspace - Rotate Playspace - Long Press to Pause - Bloom Amt - Graint Amt - AI Particle Trails
