NEW FEATURES

  • Added new stages

  • New element selection UI for online party only and couch games

  • Added new Spell Selection Mode: Random 7 -- same as Random 7 Mirror except it's fully random and can be played FFA

  • New Ice Skin Steam post image

  • Added a Sports Only preset

  • Added 3 cursed presets (Oops All Wormholes, Too Many Mages On Ice, and Bottomless Pit)

  • Added Istanbul "tr" and Dallas "ussc" servers to the server list

  • Spectate mode can now be toggled in the Online Lobby and "Game Mode" option has been removed from main menu settings

  • Added ability to show pings in the Online Lobby with Left Bumper on controller

  • Added "press any key/button to continue" to couch loading screen

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed online bug with Preserve where players would appear to stay on top of their crystal on other clients when they had actually used a movement spell to get off of it

  • Made the puck on sports slightly larger so that point-blank spells and melee attacks don't get through the center of it and hit it backwards

  • Fixed sudden death infinite loop bug

    • Spawned "vacuums" only apply to projectiles and not wizards

  • Fixed bug where bots weren't properly targeting the puck on sports

  • Fixed bug that caused Electric, Steam, and Metal skins not to unlock Somebody's Fabulous achievement

  • Fixed bug where custom secondary team colors weren't showing up on player wardrobes

  • Random controller dropping bugremoved controller caching to prevent referencing invalid controllers
  • (PC Only) Fixed bug where toggling the xInput option in the main menu would cause your controller to stop working

  • Changes to the physics layer should help the following spells work more consistently

    • Water Cannon (now also does a sphere cast instead of just a raycast)

    • Vanguard (now spawns a little closer to the wizard as well)

    • Earth Tomb

  • If a spell reactivation becomes invalid, it is now hidden and cannot be reactivated

    • Tow Vine (hook destroyed, or hooked unit dies/expires)

    • Steal Trap (trap destroyed, or trapped player unit dies/expires)

    • Hot Swap (swap destroyed, or attached unit dies/expires)

    • Backup (clone to swap with dies early)

    • Decoy (clone to swap with dies early)

    • Ice Hook (tossed crystal expires early)

  • Fixed bug where bot clones would have visible aimers, giving away which ones were the clones

  • Fixed bug where multiple worms would spawn if Wormhole was blocked by a nullifying defensive spell like Rock Block

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

  • Reworked physics layer to use velocities instead of overriding positions, preventing massive recalculations every frame and reducing the load on the CPU

ADJUSTMENTS

  • Bots no longer hyperfocus a single (losing) player in team games

  • Volcano damage is now dealt every tick (like insta-kill Coffin and Airship environments), so falling into the center with Bubble Breaker or Backup active will no longer save you, preventing awkward volcano standing

  • Bots use the following spells more intelligently now

    • Frog of Life (current health is at least 15 below max)

    • Double Strike (landed a DoT spell)

    • Wormhole [close] (if traveled through, and not on lava)

    • Cold Shoulder (will whiff on purpose to transform an in-range crystal to cold)

    • Chainmail (hit by a DoT spell)

    • Discharge (hit by a DoT spell)

    • Double Strike (will use if DoT spell is landed)

    • Rewind (hit by a DoT spell)

  • Bots now prioritize using spell reactivations

    • Somer Assault

    • Tow Vine

    • North Pull

    • Hot Swap

    • Backup

    • Decoy

    • Steal Trap

    • Chameleon

    • Ice Pack

    • Ice Hook

    • Preserve

  • Increased the maximum targeting range of Bombshell from 22 to 30 to help keep the camera more zoomed in

  • Renamed "Mirror Select" to "1v1"
