Only the strongest survive - The Icon Battles: Game Update

The Icon Battles: Game - is a unique and exciting game where you can fight with your desktop icons. The new version of the game has added many interesting features, which I want to tell you about.

Game modes

The new version has added two new game modes: classic and free. In classic mode, you start the game as a melee fighter, but you can unlock other classes by earning a certain amount of points. The icon you will play as is chosen randomly.
In free mode, you can choose any class from those you unlocked in classic mode, as well as choose any icon you want to play. In this mode, you do not need to earn points to change your class, but your score will be recorded on the leaderboard, which also appeared in this version of the game.

New controls

The control of your character has been changed. Previously, you could only play with the mouse, but now the movement of the player has moved to the WASD keys, and the fight to the mouse buttons. This control allows you to control your icon more accurately and faster.

Leaderboard

Another feature is the leaderboard, which shows the best results of players from Free mode. The leaderboard is integrated with Steam, so you can compare your score with friends and other players. You can view the leaderboard in the main menu of the game or on Steam.

I hope you enjoy the new version and get a lot of fun from fighting with icons. If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave your comments. Thank you for your attention! 😊
