Version history
1.4.0
- ▲ For Tenta Missiles, increased the size of the targeting icon when using Special Power Up by roughly 67%.
- ▲ For Ink Armor, Special Power Up now also decreases the time required to protect players with armor after activation
- ▲ For the Inkjet, Special Power Up now also increases the shot explosion radius. In exchange, the additional Inkjet duration afforded by Special Power Up has been decreased by roughly 50%.
- ▲ For the Baller, Special Power Up now also increases the radius in which the Baller will deal minimum damage (55) when it explodes. Considered alongside the changes to the Baller itself, when using the maximum amount of Special Power Up, this radius is the same as it was previously.
- ▲ For the Ink Storm, an issue was fixed in which using Sub Power Up extended the range this special could be thrown. Instead, Special Power Up now also correctly extends the throw range of the Ink Storm special.
