Ducks added to Hold The Flag (HTF) mode Forest map.

Improved group popup user status info – shows if friends are in-group/group full.

Bug Fixes

Fixed hit confirmation sound not playing when hitting 2 targets at once

Stopped tank engine sounds playing on the battle screen.

Fixed a bug that stopped you pasting friend codes on the social page.

Fixed a collider on the tutorial level that let players pop out of level bounds.

Tweaks to the battle page to make the tank previews bigger and not cut off at the top.

Changed CHANGE to CHECK in region info settings.

The group invite popup now requires a response to prevent accidental closure.

Made Bubble Gum Grenade collider low poly and slightly larger to catch all tanks; fixed issue where the animation wasn’t playing on intro and outro.

On the tank selection screen choosing the same tank no longer spawns that tank again.

Fixed a bug where changing tanks on the battle ready-up screen changed your name to the tank’s name.

Fixed a bug that allowed you to equip the same ability in more than one slot.

Fixed a bug that occurred on the TANKS page. Selecting a tank with a lower ability slot count would stop you from editing the tank further (crash on iOS).

Tutorial: Made train carriages follow path correctly.

Fixed bug where friend invites duplicated when logged in and out of online. services.

Fixed ordering of elements which made it difficult to click on the settings button. Clicking on your name on the battle page now presents the message “this is you”.
