v1.5

- Reworked the character completely, including a full re-sprite and an all-new moveset
- New mechanic: attack meter
- The attack meter is a gauge that increases by hitting opponents
- You can consume some of the meter to enhance your special attacks
- Some moves have been slightly or significantly adjusted, others have been changed completely
- Some of the more notable reworked moves are the specials:

- Neutral special: fire a small, fast ice ball. Enhancing this attack with the attack meter will convert it into a slower, but more powerful axe. The axe has less range and also pierces through enemies.

- Up special: shoot upwards into the air a short distance. This attack doesn’t go very far, but it is good for setting up and extending combos. Enhancing this attack will greatly increase its travel distance and knock enemies away from you instead of upwards.

- Forward special: shoot an ice clone forward a short distance that pushes enemies back and pierces through them. Enhancing this attack will turn the ice clone into a stationary obstacle that freezes opponents that make contact with it. The enhanced clone can be moved around the stage by attacking it.

- Down special: erupt three ice spikes from the ground in front of you. Enhancing this attack will convert it into one larger spike that deals more damage, tracks your opponent’s location, and launches them upward for easy follow-up attacks.

- Lots of other changes, including stat adjustments, bug fixes, a new set of abyss runes, color palette adjustments, and more.
