The next release candidate for Stomp Arena 0.95 is upon us! This is a minor update, however it brings improvements and bug fixes.

- Balance adjustments
To make the game better, some of the power-ups have been changed. Various projectile weapons have increased in speed to make hitting enemies easier. In addition, sticky bombs can no longer damage the player who throws them.
- Hardened server list
Before, the server list code was quite fragile and would crash or fail to update frequently. This has been rectified in this version, and the server will now work 100% of the time. I'd like to give a huge thank you to @MxtApps for their assistance with this!
- More bug fixes
Numerous bugs have been fixed for this version. Most were relatively minor and don't warrant listing, but the two major ones are the boulder desyncs on the client and the inconsistent stomping damage on the server.
- More parallax backgrounds
Two new parallax backgrounds have been added to the game to provide variety. There is now a total of five different parallax backgrounds in the game!
- Level adjustments
To make the game more fun, I have made some adjustments to some of the levels to improve them and to add some of the new objects from 0.95 to the game. Check them out!

- Future plans

This is only the second release candidate for 0.95 and there is lots planned for future release candidates. Here are some of what you can expect for subsequent releases: 

- The character graphics will be replaced with retro pixel art to correspond with the rest of the game.

- The last graphics that are not pixel art (i.e the flag animation) will be replaced with pixel art versions.

- More work will be done on the menus.

- A couple of new items and power-ups will appear in subsequent releases to add variety to the game.

- New item blocks and level elements will appear in subsequent updates.

- More bug fixes.

With all of this said, please join my Discord at https://discord.gg/3AUt5kt6Rw, for future updates. I still need players for this game, and if enough people join, weekly playtests can resume. If you like retro platformer games such as Mario and Sonic, this game will not disappoint, and you do not want to miss out on it! I'd also like to give a big thank you to @MxtApps for all their help with this version of the game!!! Stay tuned folks because RC3 is around the corner!
