Been on vacation the last week so not been able to play, what's the difference between it and the old version and is it any better?

Instead of a few big piles of power seeds, there is a greater number of single-seed spawns spread far apart. Stealing is now viable with the reduced steal time.

I think it is better. There is less snowballing since you have to transport single seeds from several locations simultaneously instead of mobbing around one pile where whoever pushes better takes all.

That does sound a lot better, looking forward to trying it out

@maxenmajs @ShadowCat also being able to use grapple while holding a seed makes stealing actually possible. This game mode will be hard to get right (if ever) due to the large player size, but this seems a step in the right direction.

Finally got around to playing it earlier, only having to score 3 seeds instead of 5 was also a welcome change

It definitely feels a bit more structure to play now! Making it way easier to steal from the enemy changes the flow of the game a lot and I like it. Although I feel there are still some things that can be ironed out. Not quite sure what they are but I can tell there's just this feeling of it being 90% ready to go. Hoping by the time it makes it way back into official rotation that it gets fully sorted!

I enjoyed the changes they've made! So far the matches I've played have been longer, too
