Zoological Era

UX Improvements

Version 17

- Full-screen is available.
- Escape option brings you to the main menu instead of closing the entire program.
- Losing a match now gives you the option to go to the main menu.
- Fertility's "Offspring" attack functions properly on the CPU's side. It now places out the correct character that she brought into her Group. Previously, it would sometimes place her back out in a Defeated state, rendering the match over.
- Menu scrolling stays within boundaries of the screen.
- Chapter Select menu can be directly cancelled out of.
- Selecting an already selected character does not cause an error anymore. Problem occurred when the highlight effect graphic (yellow border) was selected, instead of the actual character, and the code would try to use its name as a character ID. It now only accepts character icons as valid selections.
- Resetting character selections makes them available as potential opponents again. Previously, the selected characters would be taken from the list of potential opponents completely, even if they weren't selected for your Group anymore.
- Main Menu buttons were positioned more toward the center to completely be out of view when using the Chapter Select.
- Audio is muted when the game is set inactive in the background.
- An underwater stage had lighting effects enhanced to match an underwater setting.

Piranha and Poison Dart Frog Update

Two extra characters in this free update. There's Piranha, whose Drown attack immediately defeats the opponent if there's enough water within the stage. (Does not work against Fish/Sea Creature types.)

There's also Poison Dart Frog, who causes the illness status on contact.

Changes:

- Two characters added.
- Stats for stages can affect gameplay.
- Graphical changes for Sea Star's first attack.
