• Replaced character placeholder art assets with marshallow characters.
• Replaced platform and background placeholder assets with Ice-Cream peaks background and Ice-cream platforms.
• While the characters are performing their default abilities they now animate to alternative art.
• Added cooldown Time to dash and powerdrive which means you cannot continuously use the abilities.

Quality of Life Improvements

• Added a pause functionality to rounds to give players options during play.

Known Issues

• Going to add keyboard inputs in the next update.
• The is no restart game button on the end of game screen.
• At times, the starting player art is incorrect.
• Sometimes when the games is paused, the player keep moving.
• At the start of a new round, while the countdown timer is in effect, the players keep moving.
• There is an issue where ‘returning to main menu’ just goes back to the start of the map.
  • As a work around, don’t fully press the A button in as this issue is due to timings and will go back to the min menu with a light press.

In patch 1.2.0, there will be bug fixes, new features and new additions to the current level, Ice-Cream Peaks to keep gameplay fun and visually interesting. This is the current plan but if there are issues with this build, that are essential for gameplay, the roadmap is changeable and will fix issues vital to gameplay before expanding features.
