We’ve had a blast watching people stream the game over its first month. We’ve paid attention to your comments. And we see that, in some areas, we’ve made the game too difficult. There’s also some confusion on some of our key game mechanics. So, we spent the last few weeks making Ra Ra even better.
The first stage, Prologue, is meant to ease you into the game and get you comfortable with the gameplay. It was, surprisingly, one of the most difficult levels in the entire game. Not anymore! You’ll find more help along the way, too, including a recommendation system built into the Scrap Shop to help you choose the best upgrades. If you like to stream, we’ve integrated Crowd Control, an innovative system that enables your audience to interact with Ra Ra while you play.
Below is a detailed list of changes. We hope you give Ra Ra BOOM a chance. And if you do, please write a review. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
