Fixes to player controls

 * Fixed an issue where it was sometimes impossible to destroy an enemy's Sprinkler with a bomb when the bomb and Sprinkler overlapped.
 * Fixed issues that could occur when the Crab Tank effect ends, such as the player being at a slightly raised position and able to climb terrain at an unintended height or being unable to smoothly use Squid Surge immediately after the end of the effect.
 * Fixed an issue where a player's jump height was lower than normal when they extended a Zipcaster arm to attach to a wall while their feet were in enemy ink and then jumped immediately afterward.
 * Fixed an issue where an enemy's Wave Breaker would sometimes still appear on their own screen even if another player used an Ink Vac to suck up and extinguish it.
 * Fixed an issue where, when a player used a Booyah Bomb at the same time as they blocked an enemy's attack using the armor from a Squid Roll, Squid Surge, or Squid Spawn, the armor from the Booyah Bomb sometimes would not apply properly.

Fixes to multiplayer

 * Fixed an issue in Rainmaker mode where "They have the Rainmaker!" and "They lost the Rainmaker!" announcements sometimes didn’t display when a player was defeated immediately after another player acquired the Rainmaker.
 * Fixed an issue in Clam Blitz mode where, when a clam or power clam that rebounded off terrain entered the other team's basket at the same time as it touched a teammate, the teammate would acquire the clam or power clam that should have gone in the basket, despite the fact that it counted as a score.

 * Fixed an issue in Flounder Heights in Tower Control mode where players sometimes clipped into terrain and became stuck.

 * Fixed an issue in Crableg Capital that prevented players from inking certain walls.
 * Fixed an issue in Crableg Capital where certain bombs would sometimes become stuck and not explode when thrown at certain locations on top of the railing.

 * Fixed an issue where the Wave Breaker would sometimes remain without vanishing when a player threw it at a Flyfish's cockpit.
 * Implemented measures to address an issue in special Rush waves where players sometimes took damage from Salmonids if they were moving forward at high speed while splatting the Salmonid with a roller.
 * Fixed an issue in special Griller waves where attacking the exposed weak point with a charger sometimes did not deal any damage when the Griller was turning in place.
