- A Short Wait for an Update! - 27 May 2022
Hello! While we’ll try not to make a habit of so many updates in a single week, we were excited to get this update out to you before the weekend! A few of these updates also apply to the demo, so have your fellow gamers check them out! Game Updates! Passive Reload: It’s been disabled for Level 1! We’ve noticed a lot of first-time players don’t realize there is a quick full-reload option and instead wait for the bullets to recharge. With this change, we’re expecting players to learn the reload and then hopefully use it on future levels! Rapid Fire Turret: When you pick up rapid fire, your turret will turn a cool shade of green Rapid Fire Projectiles: Your projectiles have lost their trails, but with so many flying through the air who’d notice?! They are now also green. Maps! Level 2: Updated to include a Rapid Fire on the map – let players early on experience the might of rapidity! Level…
- 2nd Game Update This Week! New Weapon Goes BRRRRRRT! - 26 May 2022
It's update time! "Twice in one week?!" YES! Twice in one week! Map: Level 13: It's trench warfare, but with TANKS. Mount the offensive and conquer your foes! ^Our 15-star record is 52 seconds (our developer is very proud of this! See if you can conquer it!) Weaponry: New weapon goes BRRRT Rapid Fire: Click and hold and launch your munitions downstream! Each hit may pack a little less punch, but you're out there throwing a lot more punches! Steam Update: Free Demo Available!: Got a friend whos interested in playing? Tell them to check out the demo! They'll get access to the first 5 missions and see what all the hubbub is about! (You'll find the free demo option on the right side of the Steam Page) https://static.wixstatic.com/media/afd63b_730fcfd39bf344f18d77357728e5ce30~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_695,h_484,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/Download%20Demo%20link%20instructions%20image.jpg W…
- Not 1, not 2, but 3 MORE MAPS! - 24 May 2022
Apologies for the lateness for this update! The team came down with the flu, but now that we've conquered it we're ready for you to conquer some new maps! Menu navigation: We added some extra flair to the background for the main menu! New Levels: Level 10: By beating this level, you're halfway through the game! See if you can breakout of the map and fight the bonus enemies and see the bonus signs! Level 11: It's all uphill from here. At least there's cannons ready to take you where you want to go! #VroomAndBoom Level 12: You've come to a crossroads! Which directions yield loot and which yield the exit?! We hope you enjoy the new levels! The D-T.E.A.M. team
- First BIG update! Launching Early Access 2.0! - 11 May 2022
BIG changes! BIG Change #1: Tanks are no longer always flat! Both you and enemy tanks will tilt and match their orientations to the ground. A much asked for and finally released update! BIG Change #2: When aiming (right click/left trigger), a red dot will show where the blue trail collides with another object (wall, tank, etc.). More accuracy! Gameplay updates: Improved Bullet Hit Detection: Now you can reliably shoot from cliff edges! Bullet Trail Colors: If you tried out the bonus level and saw the enemy tanks, you may have noticed that all of their bullet trails were red. Well no more! The trail for a bullet matches the color of the tank that shot it, so you’ll have a much cleaner idea of who is targeting you! Aiming Update: When you use the assisted aiming, your tank moves 33% slower, however most of our players didn't know! Now, when aiming, a warning appears at the top of your HUD…
- The next update is here! 5/5/2022 edition - 5 May 2022
The D-T.E.A.M. has news! News! News! News! News! Menu Updates: - The button on the homepage now says "Click to Give Feedback". If you click it, you can give feedback! - On the Options page, we swapped the apply and main menu buttons. Now you can work top to bottom to finish up your settings change. - We use the Unreal Engine for this game! They are now properly credited on the credits page (thanks for such a great engine Epic!) HUD updates - Your health bar has colors! When your health drops to 60%, the bar turns yellow, and at 20% it turns red. Pick Up a maintenance health kit to be brought back to full green. (Which, in this case, is just as good as gold) - We have trouble counting to 5, so we added how many coins have been collected each mission underneath the health bar! Pick one up and see that gold! Game Updates - Enemy tanks have been reworked! --- Improved Movement: Tanks now ha…
- Post-PAX East 2022 Update + New Level - 27 April 2022
PAX East 2022 is over! We were able to demo the game several hundred times this year, and every day we received a ton of amazing feedback, as well as from form submission on our website. After spending 8 hours at PAX each day, we ran back to the hotel room and continued to work on the game. Over the course of the 4 days, we hotfixed several game mechanics, and now that we've had a day or two to properly test them we're taking it live! Upon taking damage, temporarily turn white (visual indicator of damage) Upon taking damage, gain very brief invulnerability (avoid double-hits) Controller Assisted Aiming (left trigger) now has 50% look sensitivity reduction We've also heard significant feedback about adding more platforming, so we're happy to showcase to you an additional level where platforming is the focus! We'll be adding more platforming to additional levels as well. We'll be adding a…
