Game update

Patch

Today's patch includes the following changes:

  • The sword stand has been moved to the right side of the player, and will also automatically retract into the ground during play mode. These changes should improve the experience overall for people that wanted to play farther back but felt crowded by the sword stand, and also make it easier to interact with the sword stand for people with 180 degree tracking setups.
  • Bomb explosions will no longer affect fruit trajectory that are mid spawn warp. This helps keep the flow of the game moving better after a bomb hit and makes a bit more visual sense.
  • An extra penalty notification (i.e -X) now occurs when hitting a bomb or Tatami boundary that indicates how many points were "rewound" on top of the normal penalty. There is a short time window after obtaining points where if a penalty object is hit, these points will be reverted. This is to prevent "suiciding" on a combo that has higher bonus than the bomb or boundary penalty. The score rewinding has been in place for some time, but previously there was no notification to indicate this was happening.
  • Tweak to combo notifications to help prevent them overlapping each other.
