Chances are that if this is the first time you see an update like this, you recieved Nuclear Throne from one of the people in this great community. In that case, welcome to Nuclear Throne and welcome to your first weekly update.
For those of you that were already with us in 2014: welcome back to Nuclear Throne in 2015. We hope the final days of 2014 were relaxing and enjoyable for you!
While we will be taking things easy for a short bit in January, recovering from all the chaos that was 2014, we did manage to squeeze out a small but interesting update for you all!
The update brings a couple of small but interesting changes, but also two highly experimental mutations! Hammerhead allows you to break through exactly 12 walls every stage, and Strong Spirit makes lethal blows put you down to 1 HP instead! Both of these are very work in progress, don't have pretty icons or clear effects (which is something we definitely need to add to make them more clear), but we're just throwing them in for you to mess around with! Enjoy!
- Features
- Hammerhead mutation! Break through walls and create instant cover, clever ambushes, or just have a good time!
- Strong Spirit mutation, saving your life whenever you need it most (at death)! Balancing
- Ever so slightly higher rate of fire for the Slugger. Fixes
- Wild Horror beam drops rads again.
- Sleeping Assassins and Smoking Gators now drop rads again.
- Fixed a glitch with the Lightning Hammer icon. Misc
- Eating an Ultra Weapon as Robot now gives you some rads!
- Crown of Choice no longer removes one gun, instead makes enemies drop less rads. Needs a new name probably!
Whether you're new to the community or a Nuclear Throne veteran, we want to know what your thoughts are about the game. Please take some time to write out your complaints, thoughts, and ideas. Also don't forget that we livestream development twice a week: once on Tuesday and once on Thursday. If you want to tune in, go to http://www.twitch.tv/vlambeer around 1PM CET.
Let's hope Hammerhead and Strong Spirit don't create too many exploits.
