addedThe Homing Rocket power-up has been in the game design since the beginning, but has not been implemented until now! If there aren't any other players or bots, the Homing Rocket (just like the other new power-up, the Seeker Ball) will target the only player. This makes it easy to practice evasive techniques (and also offensive strategies in the case of the Seeker Ball).
addedFlatland has had some geometry changes as well that close down a few sight lines and assist in the greater potential of car vs. boat combat (a new platform has been added over parts of the pool). The other change to Flatland was the changing of the wall and ceiling textures to various metal textures to differentiate them better from the concrete floor.
