Changes

• Added a new map: XEO by Tasty Biscuit Dev. You can change the music by making a resource pack with the file xeo_music.ogg or xeo_music.wav, or a folder with different wav and ogg files in it named xeo_music which will cycle through them.

Recently there have been a few hackers in the game. I'm only one person, and I can't manage banning every hacker. Here's how you can prevent hackers from playing in your matches:



To ban a player as the host, press TAB to open the scoreboard. Then press down the scroll wheel on your mouse to unlock the cursor. Click on the player you want to ban, and choose "Ban." This will ban them from the match and prevent them from rejoining. If there's a hacker in your match, please ask the host to ban them.

Changes

• Hosts can now ban players. Open the scoreboard, press middle mouse button to free the cursor, click on the player you want to ban, and click "Ban." This will prevent the player from participating in that match. You can also report hackers and view player profiles from this screen. Please report hackers in-game and on the discord server for them to be banned from the entire game.
  
• Added profile pictures to the scoreboard
  
• Added a new setting which lets you disable profile pictures
  
• Made grapple aim-assist more forgiving
  

Changes

• Added 4 new hats, 3 of which can be purchased on the Item Store. The Santa Hat is free to keep forever if you play the game before January 1st!
  
• Added flying gondolas to Ruins, Arena, and Skyway
  
• Added leaderboards
  
• Added new keybinds: Next Weapon and Previous Weapon
  
• Added control prompts when interacting with things such as the upgrade machine, so you know what keys you need to press
  
• Reworked the in-match UI to be cleaner and smaller
  
• You can now see which match your friends are in on the find match menu by looking for the green icon on matches
  
• Steam friends will now have green names in-game
  

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where audio would play loudly when leaving a match
  
• Completely removed controller support due to a variety of issues. If you want to play the game on a controller, please remap your controller to the keyboard through Steam Input.
