will say this is probably the BEST update of this game as of yet. The game does have "DELUXE" in the name, and I want it to live up to expectations!

- Added an option in the SETTINGS menu for several ways to "aim" the ball:

-Arcade Mode - For relaxing/zoning out. This is the "original" way the game has been.

- Directional - The ball trajectory will be determined

by the direction you are facing.

Throwing the ball at start is still automated.

- Directional PRO - The ball trajectory will be determined by

the direction you are facing, without guardrails,

AND you will need to throw it towards the correct opponent at start.

- Added a "Dash" (lunge) mechanic - accessible via the "V", "Shift" keys and also if you double press a direction key.

- Added an option for your teammates in the settings menu to be Smart/Dumb (determines how well they hit the ball).

The difficulty setting before the start of the game also has some effect on this

- Fixed (disabled) being able to hit the ball during "round over/ball out" (previously this caused weirdness with scoring)

- Added more HAT S!!!!!!!!
