These changes are for the online beta. Any general changes will be added to the main version of the game in a future update. It contains the following changes:
Cirno and Daiyousei now available to try out.
Ping now capable of being seen by the host.
The bug where the game hangs before the character select screen online has been patched.
Cirno's desperation can now be disabled by having the ball hit the wall, but the wall will lose an extra 50 points.
Projectile
Every individual projectile may now target the closest opponent to their proximity. This means that the bullets won't target the same opponent as a group as often as before.
Bomb
Improved coding so that Dai will now stop the ball every time she teleports, even if its off screen.
Announcing our latest game: time-looping puzzle ballad The Marvelous Raincaster of Yell Holler! Unravel the legend of a weather-making rooster with the assistance of a traveling conman salesman and a strange cast of hand-drawn and animated characters.
If you're in London this weekend, you can play an in-person demo of Raincaster in the Leftfield Collection at EGX! Leftfield is legendary for its annual curation of the “weird and wonderful" and also showcased Burly Men at Sea a few years back, so we're honored they've brought us back.
In honor of Raincaster's big news and EGX, our much-loved folktale adventure game Burly Men at Sea and its soundtrack are 70% off through Monday! We've even got a fancy Steam Deck Verified page now, which is exactly how we'd recommend you play it.
P.S. Don't miss Raincaster's brand new trailer in all the excitement!

There is more testing to be done, but we’ve been polishing level transitions, improving performance, and fixing a few tricky/confusing jumps that caught players off guard during early testing.
