Avast! Thar be Challenges, Now!
Ever wanted to fight two Yetis? How about skydive onto the top of Sugarplum Mountain? Well, now's your chance!
After spending the holidays watching streams of Swashbuckler's Xmas, we got right back to work and added a bunch more gameplay to the game. This build contains the first release of our new challenge mode: Snax's Gambit.
How it works
As you progress through the story mode, you'll unlock challenges. For each challenge, you can try to beat your own high score or impress your friends on the online leaderboards. There are two types of challenges: Battle and Collection. For Battle challenges, the objective is simple: defeat three rounds of enemies and earn a high score by being accurate, avoiding damage, and maximizing your combo multipliers. In Collection challenges, you'll need to collect all the presents as fast as you can, completing optional objectives to avoid end-of-round penalties.
Snax Who?
Snax, whose real name is Chandesku Uenagi, is Captain Smokey's first mate. He's extremely eager to make his gameplay debut, after previously only starring in the post-game sequence. If you complete a challenge, you'll get a readout of your score and any bonuses or penalties you've earned. If you fail, you'll get Snax, laughing at your incompetance!
Bonus Features
We've included a few features with this release:
Two new elf variations: Scouts, who are smaller and more agile, and Titans, who are bigger with heavy attacks
Added enemies to the minimap: This should help players find enemies, such as during the battle against The Dopplegangers.
Cap can skate on the pond in Elf Outpost, now.
