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.
Install: download mash-catch-0.2.0.zip below and drop it onto the game window (or import it from gen1recomp's mod manager). Don't unzip it. Upgrading from 0.1.0: import the new zip and delete the old one from the mod manager; your settings and redeemed-catch count carry over.
