Powerups?
I was digging through Toribash's local files, and I ended up
here
I just skimmed through it, but something really caught my attention :
Powerups
The players can select a special power-up for his player. The following power-ups exist.
SUPER TORQUE - The next contact with other player will super multiply any torque available.
SUPER FORCE - Same as Super-torque but with force variable.
BOUNCY - Player will turn into rubber and bounce everything off easily.
STATUE - Player will turn into stone.
REVERSE - All forces will be reversed.
STOP - All forces will come to a stop.
TIMESHIFT - Selected player's physics will run at half speed.
I ran a small google search, the only thing concerning power-ups in the game was an april fools' joke, is it related to that?
And if not, why was this idea discontinued/not implemented? I can see some crazy competitive plays possible with this ! Imagine a single power-up (lasting one turn for example) per match, to land that extra clutch kick or mind game the opponent?
