Tractorball BETA Update

First of all, thank you very much for the great feedback from the BETA testing. It sounds like most of you are having a lot of fun with the game and that warms a developers heart. We have received a lot of useful feedback and we have made some important changes. By popular demand we have added the option to lock-on the joystick and flipper rudder. You can now double click the trigger to lock on, and you don't have to hold the trigger all the time. Click once more to release it. This is an additional way to control it, the old way to do it is still intact. We have also done some significant changes to the networking system. We have started a process to split matches to certain regions. When connecting it will first try a direct connection, if that fails it will automatically switch to a regional relay server. Right now you should choose your region in the options menu before playing multiplayer. You have to be on the same region to see each others matches. Default region is US.

Other Beta 8 changes:

• Added a new dirty trick: Russian Hack. Trick requires a target. When activated you hack the targets credits, stealing all the coins the victim has.

• Added the option to turn on/off the haptic feedback in the options menu.

• Renamed "Find Match" to "Quick Match"

• Adjustments make to the tractor. It will now not wheelie as much.

• Decreased the amount of coins slightly to balance the amount of dirty tricks

• Made the flipper on client side less stuttery and more smooth.

• General optimisations and bug squatting.

We would like to remind you that you can re-press the triggers to reset the control position on the joystick and flipper rudder. That way you can reset it in a comfortable position. The position used for controls will be reset every time you press the trigger or lock on. Another thing to mention is that leaning helps. If you are in the air or on two wheels, you can lean to the sides to rotate the tractors back. More coming soon. Have fun!
