Version 1.1.1
We've been hard at work bringing space narwhal combat to other platforms, and in the process we've made lots of improvements to the game we want to share with our Steam friends! (Yes, YOU!)
Balances/Fixes:
- Ice Blocks: The calculation to determine if and when an ice block should shatter has been modified. Now the angle of impact has a greater effect, so sliding along a piece of ice won’t break it as easily, especially in levels such as Frostburn and Ice and Fire
- Fixed an issue where multiple players could select the same color narwhal in the player select screen
- Fixed an issue in the Challenge levels Escalation and Wave where the player could potentially die on spawn
- Fixed an issue with team mode where sometimes the players don’t get assigned to the correct team
- Fixed an issue with the sludge in Challenge levels where the player could continue to die after the first death on a run
- Results screen: Fixed an issue where the Tag and Capture count were being incremented on a hazard hit
- Localization: Versus score screen had an error when playing team mode on Score Attack
Optimization:
- A lot of work has gone into optimizing many parts of the game including level geometry and collision, AI pathfinding, and hazards. Many levels should have significant performance boosts and should be capable of running much more smoothly on older machines!
- Versus: Mobius, Amoeba, Perch, Tumble Dry, Squall, Giant Growth, Slippery Slope
- Challenge: Escalation, Spin Cycle, Stream Sailor, Centrifuge, Factory
- Versus: Mobius, Amoeba, Perch, Tumble Dry, Squall, Giant Growth, Slippery Slope
- The AI has been significantly improved on several of the Versus levels:
- Classic, Mobius, Amoeba, Perch, Time Spiral, Pneumatic, Tarkus II, Squall, Giant Growth, Frostburn, Glacial Pass, Slush Puppy
- Classic, Mobius, Amoeba, Perch, Time Spiral, Pneumatic, Tarkus II, Squall, Giant Growth, Frostburn, Glacial Pass, Slush Puppy
Changes:
- XInput: Controllers can now use XInput on Windows PCs. Just go into the Options screen and you’ll be able to enable/disable XInput. With it enabled, you’ll be able to reconnect a disconnected controller without having to reboot the game, yay!
- Controller input is now locked as soon as a match is over
Costumes:
- Viking Squad Costumes! SKOL!! Check out the game here: Viking Squad
