[h1] Patch 0.9 [/h1]
Welcome to the next update for Robot Revolt, patch 0.9. Originally intended as two seperate patches, a halloween update was rolled together with a feature update. We hope you enjoy!
Our next patch (Coming Soon TM) will focus on reworking items and weapons, including added new ones. We feel like the game is finally getting close to a solid base from which to expand upon.
[h2]Highlights[/h2]
- new map progression added (final, we promise!)
- added difficulty, first 5 are available, more coming in further patches
- reworked unlock system (for example the market is something you unlock)
- new biome
- attributes are rebalanced, simpler to understand but stronger
- added new transition screen
- added screenshake (can soon be disabled in options)
- knockback reworked, should be much more reliable now
- added new sound tracks and removed some old ones
[h2]New Map Progression: Portals[/h2]
