After delays, time off sick and some outright ridiculous bugs update 2.0 is here! bringing some big changes
Steam Remote Play Together is now a thing!
invite your friends to any of the game modes like they are sitting next to you but please remember Steam does not support multiple keyboards.
FULL controller support!
this has been tweaked again and again but is now as good as its ever going to be.
NEW Co-op mode!
Play squash with a partner and go for and even bigger high score.
Unlockables!
Why have secrets if you aren't rewarded for them. unlocking them now rewards new paddles.
Three new achievements!
I know there are people who need a reason to keep playing after an update so these are for you.
More in-depth stat tracking!
Because you have to know just how many times you beat your friends.
Minor Changes
My to do list shows 61 new things but here are the highlights;
Almost every screen has been updated visually to make things a bit more interesting. View Controls in-game. "Press button to join" prompt to keep track of who you're paying against. Notification when secrets are unlocked. The usual bug and performance fixes.
I sincerely hope you are enjoying playing this game as much as I do making it, if you are why not leave a review, or join one of the socials and throw in a suggestion for what else you'd like to see.

Version 1.0.7 Update
Somehow it's already been a month since release,
I would like to offer a very sincere thank-you to everyone who has supported, bought the game, added to their wish list, retweeted, left feedback or contributed to the process in any way at all. it's the positive energy you guys have that pushes us through the late nights, bug fixes and problems that occur, without it this game would have never been released let alone have a patch.
Version 1.0.7 is live now!
While it may look minor on paper there's some big changes under the hood to keep the experience you have as smooth as possible.
Splash screen is now skippable.
Correct sound effect now plays when pressing the "start" button in all game modes.
Changed ball spawn mechanics so the same spawn point will not be used twice in a row.
Title screen now highlights the correct text when switching between using mouse or keyboard for selection.
In-game achievement notifications added when playing without a Steam connection.
Changes made to the save system - progress will now be saved locally and backed up to Steam Cloud, this enables the correct save file to be loaded regardless of Steam connection status.
General optimization.
If you're enjoying the game why not leave a review? We'll be back next month with another update, until then keep being awesome.
