Holiday Auto-attack Update
Hello, frog-and-robot fans! We’re excited to announce our first major update for Entropy Survivors is out today: The 1.1.0 Holiday Auto-attack Update.
We’ve been listening to your feedback these last two weeks and working extra hard to put together your two most requested features:
- Additional options for configuring how you control your attacks/switch characters.
- More holiday cheer, decked halls, boughs of holly, etc.
First and foremost, this update makes classic survivors-style controls possible with additional auto-attack options. We know many of you expect to be able to play a game like this with fewer inputs and are doing our best to give everyone the bullet heaven experience they expect without altering the core of the game.
In 1.1.0, enabling auto-attack allows for two new options:
One option lets you swap between melee and ranged modes at a click of a button, rather than pressing or holding. The other option will automatically switch to ranged attacks whenever ammo is available, letting you skip the button press entirely!
Some additional presents: Keyboard players can now select upgrades using the 1,2, or 3 keys to make the game easier to play without a mouse. Controller players using auto-aim can temporarily override it at any time by moving the right analog stick, giving you instant control whenever you need it.
On the non-control front: it’s time to celebrate Winter in outer space (don’t think about it too hard). Until January 1st, Entropy Survivors is running a Winter holiday event. For a limited time, enjoy some festive decorations in the hub and main menu (if this is all humbug to you: yes, it can be disabled in the settings menu).
The Winter event also features two limited-time unlockable dyes with holiday flare. Get them now and and show off these candy-coated ensembles all year long:
And of course this patch comes with other smaller changes and fixes. For the full patch notes please look below. We can’t wait to show you what else we’ve been cooking up in the new year!
