Greetings, all Visicons!
It has finally been a year since Roboom has been released on Steam! It has been a long journey, and Roboom shall continue to thrive and improve each passing year. We once again thank everyone who has been part of this journey.
To celebrate the First Roboversary, this update brings a few small features:
🚀Additions:
- Party Accessories
- Baby Builder
Equip the brand new party-themed accessories to celebrate anything, whether it's the Roboversary, a birthday, or any kind of special occasion.
Baby Builders are absolute units as they allow you to create lines of turrets to both defend and attack. To allow everyone to acquire this Baby Drone, the maximum number of Baby Drones has been increased from 5 to 6 as well.
You can even upgrade it using the Quality Peer powerup:
If you have any feedback about the update or about anything in the game, feel free to share on Roboom's Discord Server. Besides this, many interesting news may come from Robogame Studios in the next weeks!
Until next time,
In addition to this, enemy Guardians may rarely drop a Viridian Spear or a Viridian Shield. These are both very powerful items, and they will each allow you to activate a very powerful power-up...
The score bar now has a new design!
Roaming within the walls of Oblivion's Nest, Sentinels will notice you if you stay around the walls for too long -- But if you decide to take them on, they will drop the special item of Sentinel Fins, and its respective powerup will allow you to dash!
While Temurgen can deal massive amounts by covering enemies with arrows, Oneness of Heart will boost the damage of your adopted Warrior and Infohunter Baby Drones!
- Urumday, dropped by Sammlers, protects you against Sammler poison.
- Singularity, dropped by Manipuloid, will create vortices around your Robo Bombs
- Egg of The Smelter, dropped by Agents, will give you a game-changing upgrade for Radiation Field
After picking up the item, all related powerups are optional. And if you want to increase your chances of getting either Singularity or Egg, upgrading the respective powerup will increase your chances a ton!
You can now add social links like YouTube and Twitch, and add a custom bio in your leaderboard profiles! Your personalized Robo will also appear here too!
Choose a Baby Drone from 5 different Visicon classes! All with different abilities, from healing to slash&dashing and more, assemble a cast of companions who will make you much more powerful against the forces of Oblivion!
You can change the order in which they will appear according to your strategy:
Your Baby Drones will gain experience throughout runs, and you can level them up to become stronger once they have enough experience:
Many players have earned incredibly high scores since the change of the score system to an oblitropy-based maximum score from endless-runs, and the leaderboard now displays these scores as the default alltime scores. And of course, the previous scores achieved by players before the changes are visible when the "Show Pre-Release Scores" option is toggled.
Now, like Otachis and Info-Hunters, Warriors have their own area too! Roboosts have been moved to this area, which will be unveiling more and more of the Warriors! Feel free to boot up and dive into the Warrior Computer!
From shooting lasers to sucking life, all these weapons have special abilities. Try all of them out and see which one is the best!
Roboom now has got a Korean localization, initially covering most of the fundamentals of the game, soon to expand into the whole game!
Now Roboom supports full-controller gameplay, whether you are using a Deck, Xbox-Controller, PS-Controller, or any other device, you can now play Roboom without needing a keyboard our mouse! You will see the correct glyphs, and Roboom Virtual Keyboard will help with keyboard input.
Upon beating the current version of the game (by harnessing the _Blue Ozstone_), you can now unlock the option to increase Oblitropy level of the Robocon Universe, earning higher scores from a run while making the game more challenging
New Seraphos is especially ready up for a challenge :)
Zealoids and Ghosts now fly swiftly through the Nest of Oblivion
Choose whether if it's the correct thing to get rid of the Sammler in the HUB, as a prelude for the events to come...
Now encounter a crowd of Visicons celebrating your victory in the HUB. You will also find a cool Mediator there, who is eager for making an interview with you about your victory for HUBTV
