Expanded Steam Timeline support

  • The game now uses the Steam Timeline API to mark up your Steam Game Recordings (such as the one that appears in your Post-Game Summary). A label now indicates the start of each match so that you can more easily clip out highlights and share them with your friends.

  • Facepunch.Steamworks has been updated to the newest release version (2.4.1) to interface with this new Steam feature.

Bug fixes

  • Paulcano now has the same hitstop on P1/P2 side. Nils Void Cutter now has the same hitstop as Paulcano, including the combo version.

  • Fixed an issue where the wrong "delay" sprite would sometimes appear after whiffing an air throw that moves forward 1 space vs a blocking character

MacOS support now in testing

  • Mega Knockdown is now playable on Mac, but more testing is needed before we can say it is officially supported.

  • If you want to join the Mac test, join the Mega Knockdown discord for details: https://discord.gg/WDPduQM8Eh
