ENHANCEMENTS

ADJUSTMENTS

Slug

• Can fast fall from wall stick

There didn't seem to be a good reason why Slug could fast fall from the ceiling but not from the wall, so he can do that now.

Universal systems

• Adjusted throw angles

• Character movement is reduced briefly after throw

• Characters have a minimum bounce speed while tumbling

We want throws to require a bounce setup or spending resources to secure the kill, so completely vertical throws are no longer possible, and it's also not possible to immediately kill with a sword follow-up unless you spend ammo to dash.

We’re taking next week off for a much needed post-launch break.

Target practice + online spectating are coming mid-March and a new character + stage are coming early April.

Thanks for your continued support.
