Mash Catch v0.2.0

Every playground had its own ritual — now you can pick yours. The TECHNIQUE setting chooses what fills the meter during the wobbles:

• MASH A+B (default) — the 0.1.0 behavior, unchanged. Alternating still earns the secret-technique bonus.
• HOLD DOWN+MASH B — keep Down held; only B presses made while it's held count.
• HOLD UP+A — press and hold Up+A and don't let go; scored by how much of the window you held on.
• TAP A ON BEAT — tap A in time with the wobbles. The tink you hear as each wobble starts is the cue; spamming between beats costs you.
• HOLD B+ROCK L/R — keep B held and rock the d-pad; only direction changes count.
• CUSTOM — build your own from hold/tap/style rows: up to two hold buttons, a tap set, and MASH / ALTERNATE / HOLD / ON BEAT.

Fairness note: every technique fills the same 0–1 meter feeding the same redemption caps. No preset is stronger — different rituals, not different odds. Pick by heart, not by math.

Everything from 0.1.0 still holds: the vanilla catch roll is untouched, only gripped-and-wobbled throws can be redeemed, the 8/sec turbo cap keeps autoclickers honest, and touching nothing during the window means no redemption roll is ever made — bit-identical to vanilla, down to the RNG stream, under every technique.

Mash Catch v0.1.0

The playground legend, made real: mash A/B while the ball wobbles and a near-miss can flip into a catch.

• Vanilla catch roll untouched — mashing only redeems throws that gripped and wobbled (1+ shakes). Clean bounce-offs, Safari, trainers, ghosts: all vanilla.
• Redemption caps at 50% (PLAYGROUND, default) / 20% (CLASSIC) / 10% (SUBTLE) for a 3-wobble near-miss at perfect mashing; less for fewer wobbles.
• Edge presses only, 8/sec turbo cap. Rumor says the button rhythm matters.
• A redeemed catch announces itself: screen flash on the extra wobble, then "But the mashing held it shut!"
• Not mashing = bit-identical to vanilla, down to the RNG stream.
