WHO WANTS TO PLAY COMBAT?

 
 

6.4.2018  -  WHO WANTS TO PLAY COMBAT?

We've been prototyping a slew of creatures recently, as demonstrated by things like our last update featuring the creepy / cute Wormbot.  This week we are showing off our first vehicle enemy - the Minitank!

Our tanks developed into some pretty interesting gameplay during prototyping.  Because they are hurling around high explosives willy-nilly, there's still a good way to defeat them if the run hasn't been kind enough to provide you with mutations of mass destruction.

Minitanks in prototype form!

If you can get the timing right, deflecting their rockets back into them, their friends, or really any hard surface they are unlucky enough to be parked next to can end the fight quickly.  Of course, getting the timing wrong will ALSO end the fight quickly... as you become a fine red paste which the cleaning bots REALLY hate having to scrub.

Obviously, we didn't just work on awesome tanks - we've been working on our intro level too!  This allows Gone Viral's master of ceremonies to make his first appearance in the game, and prepares us for our next rounds of testing.  Now is a great time to send in a beta application if you haven't already... hint hint.
