Update 14. December 2017

Gameplay changes:

• Deflect-Shield turned into Deflector: It now works from all incoming angles - so even if the ball hits you from behind, the ball will get forwarded into the direction you're facing.
• Knockout time reduced to half (you have to wait less before you can continue playing)
• Camera shake, when taking damage, reduced to 27%, so it's less disorientating
• Very Low power charge shots will not be released (to avoid accidental releases when you caught the ball while trying to kick it)
• Pull-Catch angle is now much bigger (still smaller than the kick) and the pull cone stays longer (0.135s -> 0.25s), so catching requires less good aiming and timing
• Kicking cone now stays longer (0.135s -> 0.25s) so the timing needs to be less precise

Other changes:

• If you play the tutorial for the first time, you can close it and pick up where you left off. So you don't need to start from Task 1 when you already had 50% done.
• Tutorial now automatically searches a match when you're done
