| Update #1.4 | 2016-05-31 | Sorry this update took so long, it started out as simply adding achievements and just grew and grew! In this version we totally overhauled the paddle physics, and put much more emphasis on your swing speed (no more wrist-flick garbage!). Due to the new physics, we had to completely re-balance all game modes, which was pretty scary considering the positive feedback we'd already received. Hopefully it's still as fun! Additionally, we weren't happy with the sweet spot implementation, it was way too easy to score with weak shots on your serve. Now, sweet spots are hidden when you're serving, and they only appear after the AI hits the ball. Proble |

| Update #1: Spectator Mode & 2nd Screen Multiplayer | 2016-05-12 | First off, we wanted to say thanks for everyone for an amazing launch day! Sales exceeded our best expectations, and we're really proud that you all seem to be enjoying HoloBall so much! The first update is a small one, which restores Spectator Mode and 2nd Screen Asymetrical multiplayer. * Press to cycle available Spectator Cameras * Press to take control of the AI, once you take control of the AI, you can move him arround with * Press to return to the default first person cam. Coming in the next update: * Achievements * Settings Menu w/ Music Toggle * Selfie Mode! |
| Update #1.3 - Expert Mode! | 2016-04-29 | Another day, another update for all you HoloBall lovers out there. We've heard that the game is a little short, and not quite hard enough, so we've decided to add a 4th mode w/ leaderboard for you hardcores out there. Expert Mode is similar to Hard, but in a much smaller room, and the AI will not stop at the Sweetspots, so it's quite the challenge. We will keep an eye on the Leaderboards to see if maybe it's too hard, and please give us feedback in the forums. Other small fixes include: * Performance improvements * Fixed issue with AI repeating audio |
