The day has come! Slap City has hit the Nintendo Switch eShop, featuring online crossplay with Steam. Two new characters - Cruiser Tetron and Orka - have also been added! Steam owners have received 1.1 as a free update as usual.

This update also comes with two new stages, and a hefty community balance patch for the existing characters and stages. Please see the details further below.


General
+Performance optimizations for stages, materials, shaders, particle effects, Story mode platform stages, menues, etc.

Known bugs
-When mashing through the various dialogues in K.L.O.N.K., some text appears twice. This can cause a softlock because the dialogue can no longer be advanced
-Sometimes when a character collides with the stage, they enter Tumble without any hitstun allowing them to act instantly
-Edge cancels do not work correctly if you land exactly on an edge and leave it on the next frame; the character gets stuck in landing lag while falling through the air instead of cancelling to Neutral/Fall. You basically get a "fake edge cancel"
-CPU's don't SDI moves with 0 hitlag
-Grabbing out of shield while being shieldpushed off a ledge lets you grab in mid-air while falling from the ledge
-Selecting Air Strong as the function of the Grab button in the air causes the character to perform an Fstrong when they land, regardless of how long the Air Strong attack has been going
-When opponent blocks your attack, your Selfstop increases with their damage but their Hitstop (Blockstop) remains the same. This only applies when a move deals 300 or more knockback
-In the Options menu, changing the setting of an option with Left/Right or the Left stick and then pressing Start/Enter does not save the options
-In the Options menu, changing the setting of an option with Left/Right or the Left stick does not produce a sound
-Switch version: In Story mode, sometimes when you kill an enemy, leave the room and return, they will appear and explode on their spawn point
-Switch version: The Whiteboard stage slows down a bit when certain shapes enter the view
-Switch version: After fighting in a regular VS match, going into the replay menu, and then going back to the VS character select screen, the characters' names are blank until you change character or outfit
-Switch version: Story mode stages may fail to start after prolonged play, causing a softlocked loading screen
-Switch version: Remedy's Story mode VS Battle 2 runs very slowly

Steam update 1
-Fixed issue where pressing start on settings screen would not save changes properly
-Internal Resolution setting can now be set to "OFF" to render the game directly to screen without an intermediate rendertexture (this also disables title screen attract mode)
-Only the relevant player now sends sync state objects over p2p
-Sync state objects are now only sent to spectators once every three frames
-Increased the limit for p2p message handling
-Disabled some unused graphics features
-Set PC rendering path back to forward rendering

-Fixed a bug where Down throw removed two lives from the opponent instead of one


General
-Shield offledge property now goes immediately to tumble, regardless of direction
-Delayed actionable point from “fallthrough” by 1 frame; this prevents shielddrops from sticking to the platform if simultaneously inputting an aerial
-Shielddrops now have a minor visual tell to distinguish them from normal fall-throughs
-Tweaked the animation of all characters' stand up, get up forward, get up back, tech, techroll forward, techroll back, roll forward, roll back, getup attack, edge attack, edge climbup, edgeroll and spotdodge.

Online
-Some bugfixes for Quest Forge ∞

Jenny Fox
-Ledgeattack now turns off the axe trail effect correctly

Frallan
-Aerial dtilt can no longer be controlled horizontally
-Dtilt no longer leaves ledges until the hitbox is out
-Turn given same braking properties as the rest of the cast
-Fixed an exploit where Frallan could cancel her knockback out of hitstun with down special if she connected a tilt beforehand
-Gave edgebonus-state ledgegrab intangibility on the initial frame, instead of only subsequent frames, so it's now in line with the rest of the cast
-Changed Forward roll and Back roll animation length from 34 to 35 frames to be consistent with the other characters
