Hello, adventurers!
It's been a while since our last development blog, but we’ve been quite busy! Biped 2 has already received a major update, bringing new mechanics and puzzles to the first six levels, and now we've been hard at work improving all the others, up to the final, seventeenth. Let's take a look ahead and find out what challenges and puzzles await. Spoiler: even more fun, even less monotony!
Wall to Wall
You might have seen this mechanic in TV shows: a wall rapidly approaches the participant, who must assume a certain position to fit through a particular-shaped hole. Bipeds will need to do the same to brave this section! Lift your feet, stand on the correct section of the moving platform, and be prepared for a misstep that could send you plummeting into the water. However, in both co-op and solo play, this mechanic brings far more fun than actual challenge!
Mirror, Mirror
The very words "beam" and "mirror" placed next to each other immediately recall a classic puzzle that has appeared in countless quests, RPGs, and platformers. Rotate mirrors using special handles and guide a beam of light toward a target, opening a passage further into the level! This mechanic is easy to understand, but you'll need precision and patience to carefully adjust all the mirrors. Or, in co-op mode, just give orders to your friends. They’ll manage.
Dangerous Climb
Ever dreamed of mountain climbing? We’ve got something just for you! If you encounter a vertical surface with a path of transparent blue cubes, your first guess will likely be correct: you simply need to get to the other side by climbing the icy surfaces. However, there's a twist: the cubes will begin to crumble as soon as even one biped grabs hold of them. So, you could end up falling, and you'll have to start over! Cubes regenerate over time, so no one will stop you from trying again and again until you become a true athlete.
Catch Them All
Saw a clearing teeming with various elementals, and boxes with icons resembling those same elementals? Don't be shy; immediately start catching these little troublemakers, then place them in the appropriate boxes. Once all boxes are filled, you can proceed further. And we'll definitely release the elementals once they've had a chance to reflect on their behavior.
...So, we've introduced some of the new mechanics coming to the game in the new update! Even more innovations await you ahead, but for now, tell us what you think of the new puzzles.
See you soon, bipeds!
