- Feb 17, 2024 Patch Notes - 18 February 2024
Only a couple of updates to talk about. Fixed a bunch of edge cases in our bots. They should be getting stuck a lot less and make their jumps most of the damn time. We can call this 'Bot 1.5' I guess but it's a damn marked improvement! Hope you enjoy! Also fixed a melee attack bug in our bots so they should be attacking you a lot more frequently without an offensive power. Platform changes in the local Throne Room level.

Users will now be notified when they are invited to a match with a notification symbol on the title screen as well as a banner that flashes in real time. - Minor bug fixes If you spot any bugs as a result of this let me know and I'll snuff em out in the next update!
