It's finally time to introduce Jumpala's newest character, Dr. Time!

Dr. Time has the unique ability to manipulate time, without being affected himself. His special, Slow Time, will slow down time while allowing him to move normally. Use this to escape danger and beat opponents to items!



Dr. Time's ultimate will stop time completely, giving you a chance to move around the stage at will. You'll be invincible for as long as time is stopped, so use this as an opportunity to claim as many platforms as you can!



Dr. Time's time-bending abilities have an effect on his body. This means that all time-based effects, good or bad, last a little bit longer when applied to Dr. Time. For example...



Items effects take longer to wear off. That's great! However, if you die, you'll take longer to respawn. It also takes longer to unfreeze after being frozen. Be careful!

This patch introduces a few small but significant balance changes:

• Slightly increased Frore's movement speed
  
• Reduced the number of startup frames Frore's Ice Blast
  
• Increased Bommer's Special Cost from 4 to 5
  

I've been getting a lot of feedback that Frore's a little too slow to be utilized. These changes should make her feel a little more lively. You'll still have to position yourself well in order to line up your shots, but moving to a good position should be easier.

People are realizing Bommer's potential now. She can severely reduce the number points you can get in a round, and also guarantee points in a way similar to Cid—only her bomb placement is much faster. Her previous SP cost was 4, but since she'd gain at least 1 point back by blowing up a platform, it was effectively 3. By increasing her SP to 5, she fits in with other punishing characters like Frore and Lola.

Have fun!
