V0.1.12 🌐🔃👥 No More Interruptions!

This update aims to fix two main issues that previously interrupted playing with friends online, so that you can carry on punching each other, uninterrupted!

[h2]Online Multiplayer[/h2]
  • If a host leaves, the match will continue with the same players now. There will be a host migration loading screen for a few seconds, a new host will be selected and the other players will reconnect to the same match to pick it up where it left off.

[h2]Match and Online UI[/h2]
  • Added a message when multiplayer connection is interrupted and attempting to reconnect
  • Renamed “Leave Session” to “Exit Match” on pause menu match tab
  • Removed “End Session” from pause menu match tab
  • Renamed “End Session” to “Kick All” on pause menu online tab

[h2]Changing Teams[/h2]
  • Fixed black screen after changing teams during instant replay

V0.1.11 🎈📦🚀 Balloons, Boosters, Bug Fixes!

[h3]Thanks to everyone for Botsu’s first Multiplayer Madness event and giving lots of feedback!! You’re awesome![/h3]
This update includes fixes for the main issues people found, and I’ll be working through the rest of it for new updates soon. Thanks again!

[h2]Match Generation[/h2]
  • Balloons are much more likely to be included in matches now (25% -> 66%)
  • Stockpile can have boosters now (0% -> 50%)
  • Initial match list for new players improved to include more variation

[h2]Match Introduction UI[/h2]
  • Instructions for game modes are much more prominent now, with larger font size and animations for emphasis

[h2]Online Multiplayer[/h2]
  • If finding or joining a match takes too long (usually caused by host quitting as you join), a button will appear to host your own instead
  • Commentary text for “RCKT PETUNIA ballooned you!”, “WOBBLY MACNABB threw you!” and others working in online multiplayer matches now

[h2]Controls Settings[/h2]
  • Enabling Gamepad 1 as Player 2 split-screen controls setting (Player 1 keyboard only) now requires changing the setting with keyboard/mouse, to prevent being locked out of Player 1’s split-screen on devices without keyboard/mouse e.g. Steam Deck.

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed incorrect FoV tooltip
  • Fixed music staying muted when joining a match via steam invite
