About Blitz Game mode:
Blitz Game mode was a voted for update over on the community discord server. I put up the poll yesterday and it was overwhelmingly requested so I took immediate action and developed this ENTIRE game mode and update all day yesterday... all night... all day today... and present to you, Blitz Mode.
Gameplay:
Blitz Mode is a rapid paced version of the classic StrangerZ
- You get ONE attack as the Stranger to break in
- As the Stranger if the window is locked or you run out of time you loose.
- The Stranger has 130 seconds to kill all the players
- The survivor only gets one permanent lock, NO normal locks
- Once the permanent lock is placed it can't be picked up, use it wisely
- Each game only lasts a maximum of 130 seconds and will be very fast paced, very repayable, and a great game mode for new players to learn the mechanics for the game on.

Matchmaking Bans:
At high request from the community a system has been implemented giving one warning to each player and after the warning is used you will receive a time out from matchmaking when leaving games.

Developer note:
I am really hoping this update is well received by the over 300,000 people who have downloaded StrangerZ so far. I have taken in SO much feedback over the past few days since release and haven't been able to sleep and wont be able to rest until the review score corrects itself. Thank you to everyone who has left negative reviews and constructive criticism, I am listening and acting on it!! I am determined to update StrangerZ to become a fun game for everyone to play.
In the last update I introduced a apology message in game which has given all players 500 Zcoins (enough to open a loot crate) in case you missed that, make sure to login and claim it.
I can't wait to see what all of you and the amazing community around my dream game development studio think. Keep sending that feedback and hopefully can change those reviews either with this update or with updates to come.
If you haven't yet please leave a review for StrangerZ!
- Will (the developer)
