A new look for every pitch, the players and the town

Karoball 0.1.37 gives the whole game a new look, the grass, the goals, the players and the town round them. How it plays hasn't changed, apart from the pitch fences in town.

You don't need to download anything on PC: the launcher installs the update the next time you start the game. Android testers get it through the Play Store.

What's new

The pitches

The corner of a pitch at night: a floodlight tower lighting the corner, a lamp post, a bench and a notice board beyond the wooden fence, crates, barrels and a red club banner by the path, and five players near the box. — At night

The corner of a pitch at dusk: the red goal with its net, a floodlight tower coming on, a lamp, a red club banner by a stone-slab path and a row of leafy trees, with five players, two of them by the ball near the corner arc. — At dusk

The sun casts soft shadows from players, the ball, goals, trees and towers, all falling the same way. They get long at dusk and fade under the floodlights.
Goals have depth now, with round posts in the team's colour, a white crossbar and a net you can see into.
Round the pitch there's a wooden post-and-rail fence, painted trees, flower beds, club banners, lamps and stubby floodlight towers. Quick play pitches have market stalls and paths round them too.
At night the grass under the floodlights keeps its colour, while everything round it stays dark.

The players

A blue player token: a shirt in navy and sky-blue stripes with a white V-neck, MIKA and the number 7 on it. — The new tokens, drawn by the game: the shirt, the plank rim and the stamina and ability bars.

A blue player token: a red shirt with a gold top and a white V-neck, JONAS and the number 9 on it. — The new tokens, drawn by the game: the shirt, the plank rim and the stamina and ability bars.

The shirt is bigger and fills the middle of the token, with a V-neck and cuffs in your number's colour.
The rim is a glossy wooden plank in your team's colour, with your stamina and ability bars set into it.
A white ring shows round a player who is holding kick.
Sprinting rustles through the grass and kicks a little of it up behind you.

The scoreboard and GOAL!

A goal at night: the scoreboard at the top reads 1, 02:18, 1; along the bottom a bar with GOAL!, TAKE A BOW, MIKA and 57 KM/H, and Mika in a spotlight in the box with roses landing round the token. — The new scoreboard and GOAL! banner.

A simpler scoreboard at the top: the blue score, the clock and the red score.
When someone scores, GOAL! and the scorer's name sweep across under it, with the celebration they picked.
The screen gives only a slight nudge for a goal now, and the scoreboard stays still.

The town

The paths are stone slabs, with the lawn growing over their edges.
The market stalls, cafe tables, carts, crates, planters and signs are all redrawn, and laid out again round the square.
The pitch fences are solid now. To get onto a town pitch or off it, stand by its fence and press your ability button when PRESS E TO JUMP IN shows over you. On a phone your ability button turns into a gold JUMP button.

The play menu: Quick Play and a big PLAY button over a match on the pitch behind, the Locker card with a shirt in its locker, the Town card with the square and the Challenges card with a cannon on a pitch along the bottom, the party and friends on the left and the tournaments and leaderboard on the right. — The play menu.

The play menu's cards are redrawn in the new style, and the Quick Play card now plays back your last match, or a recent team match from the server if you haven't played one yet.
