Ready for Another Shot?

We’ve just rolled out our second major update for the demo, bringing a healthy dose of fixes, balancing, and… one more reason to jump back into the Bronze League.

Bug fixes and balancing

We’ve squashed a bunch of bugs and reworked the balancing across the game, with a special focus on the first few matches. The early progression should now feel smoother, fairer, and more fun while still keeping you on your toes.

New Game+

Finished the demo already? Time for another run.

A brand-new New Game+ mode lets you replay the Bronze League, but this time, you’ll have access to the Turbo Drop sponsored Dummy power (yeah yeah the squeeshy ones) right from the start.

Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy.

The opposing teams have also stepped up their game, making every match more challenging. Think of it as the perfect training ground before the full release.

Changelog

• [New feature] Added a new game plus mode in Leagues. Replay the story mode with the boss power, randomized matchups and stronger opponents.

• [New feature] Added a pass indicator between the ball pawn and the hovered valid pass receiver. This should help to avoid making passes by mistake.

• [Improvement] Improved the consistency of the computer move search algorithm.

• [Improvement] Ensured the computer doesn't needlessly expose pawns when playing random moves.

• [Improvement] Tweaked the computer skill levels for the bronze league.

• [Improvement] Squashed out intermediate passes when the computer is playing as the attack team.

• [Improvement] Selecting an empty tile with a controller or the keyboard deselects the currently selected pawn.

• [Improvement] Move the cursor automatically to a capturing pawn on a new turn instead of the last played pawn when using a controller or the keyboard.

• [Bug fix] Fixed a soft lock due to passes and powers not being detected as having no turn-ending moves.

As always, thank you for playing, sharing your feedback, and helping us make the game better. See you back in the arena!
