- Fix for crash when fighting boss in final story mode level This got introduced with the 8-way throwing update.
- 8 way throwing and litter reclaim bots added - Update Notes May 27 2023 - 27 May 2023
With diagonal throwing you can now throw in 8 directions (instead of just 4)! In addition, litter that has been sitting on the ground for too long (about 8 seconds) will get picked up by a little helper bot and brought to you in matches. This makes it easier to stay in the game and have fun, while not affecting high-level play very much. Below is the detailed list of updates: Items get trashed/destroyed faster to make matches ramp up faster After 8 seconds items will be brought to you by helper bots Game modes described in lobby when choosing them 8-way throwing! This means Up, Down, Left, Right + Diagonals. Enjoy! -mana

- CRT Shader added! - 17 April 2022
I've been messing around with a lot of CRT stuff, been appreciating the enhancements that playing pixel-art games on an old tube television offers, and this got me inspired to port Lotte's public domain CRT shader to my game's engine. This option is now available in the Settings section of the game. Take a look at the results! (Original non-shader version follows each for comparison) I really like how it enhances the details in the art and blends the colors nicely. I especially like how it really brings out the background in the stars in the first picture. I hope you enjoy this new little enhancement! Stay safe, happy, healthy and positive out there! -mana
