  PATCH NOTES 0.1.2

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44546837/0a1364f094c0b40fbdffe9fc81043dccd7863f44.png In this patch, we want to improve the game feel for certain interactions, and make it more versatile. GAMEPLAY • Explosive Barrel (Rework) - No longer has a random amount of HP before detonation. - Now only explode when a player swings it against another player/golf ball. (Also detonates faster!) - Can now respawn after cooldown has ended. • Witch Pot - Bottle of Speed Potion? Nah, Just Dive In Witch Pot now grants a temporary speed boost after exiting the pot. • Ghosts - Can now smack at ghosts to knock them away. Launch these ghosts at your opponent or pile them up to zone the area! • Crown System: - The crown will now show up above the player with 1st place for 10 seconds after the game start countdown has ended. (If the first place is tied, the crown won’t be shown) * This has no direct effect on the gameplay. Just want to let you know who’s in the lead. Hopefully everyone will approach them in a peaceful manner. VISUAL • Cemetery Ghost Statue now has a ghost inside it. • Added an arrow that appears when the player is near the Witch Pot. SOUND • Updated a new sound for Tap Swing & Critical Strike. BUG FIX • Fixed the issue where Critical Strike impact triggers before the club reaches the player/golf ball. • Fixed the issue where removing player using joystick shows the rejoin button as keyboard.
