Hello everyone! We're back to regular updates for the game, which means there's a ton of new content for you all to look forward to! Let's get right into it! [h2]Improved Fun Time mode[/h2] Ever wanted to play online with no cooldowns? 100x the damage? Only 20% HP, or even 200%? [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33943511/fde2ef02c1505d007f76e9acd3f0642965bf1195.gif[/img] Say less, we got you covered! You can now adjust these settings when playing the Fun Time mode both offline or online! [h2]Practice Mode Options[/h2] For those of you wanting to test all of the game's parameters, you can now adjust them when fighting in the standard Practice Battle! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33943511/75ff04f536b5bf920a7c704f86c0452bd14f2c2f.gif[/img] This should make testing your strategies easier than ever before! [h2]Re-Balanced Attacks and Characters[/h2] After our last tournament, we went all out on patching the game and it's strats. Here are a few highlights of the changes: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33943511/9627f2029dc2e62f0f0e0508f02325065e104fc3.png[/img] Most objects now have their health reduced to 300. This should enable you to finally get rid of pesky road-blocks your opponent places to protect themselves! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33943511/97dd13761ad83bce1b715d44b0dcb2bca8daa3c0.png[/img] We adjusted Fin a little bit. With the powerful strategies displayed by our devoted fan Herkura, it was near impossible to make a dent in his overheal stall strat. Now you will notice that Fin has significantly slower Ultra gain and the Ultra does not refill his cooldowns any longer. Fin is still a powerful tank to be aware of, but now you should be able to deal with him before the time expires! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33943511/63c3e46fcf4325e610c4c1208cb4764963c2a9e4.gif[/img] New sand panels! They now slow down cooldowns and entities standing on top of them! This should encourage their use a little more, as they are definitely a stronger presence to be aware of!
