Greetings, all Visicons!
Continuing on expanding the foundations of Roboom, this update brings color and life to the previous Baby Drone powerup. Baby Drones are now much more than that: You can adopt and raise them in the battle against Oblivion!
Here's a summary of everything new in Roboom (Version 0.4.8):
🚀Additions:
- New Baby Drones
- Baby Drone Adoption and Leveling To adopt a Baby Drone, you will need an Educator License. Feel free to talk to Minister Alumai for all the information!
- Baby Drone Achievement
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:
⤴️Improvements:
- Pre-Release Leaderboard as an Option
- New Powerup Icon for Baby Drones The description will also show the name of your Baby Drones!
- Baby Drones now follow you faster, remaining within your field of sight.
- Players who have adopted Baby Drones will see the powerup much more frequently when they can get it.
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.
🛠️Fixes:
- General performance improvements, especially regarding post level 30 enemies.
- Fixed some letters to render better as they should be in the leaderboard.
In addition to all these, many things are on the way, first and foremost Co-op, expansions to many powerups, and the Twitch Extension!
