Hi, beta version of Toribash 5.5 is now available on Steam for all platforms! To try it out, go to Toribash properties from your Steam Library, open Betas tab and switch to "beta" branch. What is new in Toribash 5.5:

• New type of grabs - rotatable and can be broken Grip mode can be changed via gamerules menu (CTRL + G). Manual commands are /set grabmode and /set tearthreshold.
  • New grabs allow rotating whatever you're grabbing compared to fixed default grabs
  • Tear threshold is used to determine how much force is required to break the grab (0 is disabled)
  • Grab breaking depends on force direction - it's easier to break a grab when you're pulling something away and almost impossible when pushing
• Advanced ghost with customizable speed and length Ghost settings can be modified in gamerules menu. Manual commands are /set ghostspeed and /set ghostlength. To revert back to default ghost, use /set ghostcustom 0.
  • Ghost speed can be set from 0.1x to 5x
  • Ghost length can be set from 10 to 500 frames
  Using new grabs or ghosts in multiplayer will make the room unavailable for players on older versions of Toribash.
• New gamerules menu
  • Only relevant settings are displayed (e.g. grab mode is only displayed when grabs toggle is checked)
  • Some setting names have been updated to be easier to understand
  • Settings that only allow specific values are now displayed as dropdowns or sliders
• New flame forger
  • Preview up to 5 flames at once
  • General flame forging prices have been lowered and now depend on more flame parameters (meaning simple flames will be even cheaper)
  • New "relative gravity" setting to apply gravity relatively to bodypart your flame is linked to
  • If you already have flames equipped, they'll be initially loaded in forger with proper settings
  • Ability to forge flames directly from game client
• Other minor updates
  • Multi-key search in replays menu
  • Updated visuals on error messages
  • New "/set curtf" command to modify current fight's turn frames while in single player
  • High DPI mode for Apple devices (requires Retina screen) - can be toggled from Graphics tab in Settings
  • Minimum screen resolution has been increased to 768x480
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed win points not counting damage dealt from dismembers or fractures
  • Fixed damage threshold not scaling on heavy hits
  • Fixed joint position sometimes being displayed at a wrong position when it's linked to a rotated bodypart
