Speedway Survival version 1.5. It’s finally here! Thank you for those who have been patiently waiting. We wanted to make sure to prepare Speedway Survival’s official release, which is why there were many changes being made over the summer! We will make sure to speed up the development process as our plan is to release the game at the end of this month!
Official Release Plans (September 30th!!!)
Speedway Survival will be officially released on September 30th! Unfortunately, that means our FREE early access is coming to a close. The planned release price will be $4.99. Please get your copy of Speedway Survival before the early access ends!
Without further ado, here are the changes that were made!
Level Updates
- Number of Levels: 3 -> 15!
Only 3 levels? It’s hard to call it a real game when you don’t have enough content overall. That is why we have increased the number of levels to 15!!! Hope you enjoy the expanded experience on Speedway!
- Fences have been added across levels.
There were no actual barriers except the mobs for you to reach lamps. Now, many fences have been added that will get in your way. Your movement has been limited!
Combat Update
- Guide Lights have been added to the HUD.
It was unfair for players that you had to second guess the next lamp that will be turned on. Now, there is a visual indicator on the HUD that will display where the lamps are turned on. It will fade after a few seconds, so make sure you move faster
- Flashlight On/off switch added.
An on and off switch has been added for the flashlight! Now you can save up your flashlight charge and not waste it while there are no mobs around. This will especially help you in higher levels!
- Batteries added!
To further help you with saving your flashlight charge, batteries have been added as a drop item! It will increase 1 second of your charge. Save them up and collect them when there are no lights around!
- Sola’s movement speed: 200 -> 175
To balance with the new mechanics of the on/off switch and the batteries, Sola’s movement speed has been decreased a little. Before, it was too easy for you to run to other lamps without any penalty. This decrease will make sure you strategize your movement by not staying in one spot and use your flashlight charge wisely. (Mob1 Speed: 100-125)
Mob Updates
- Mobs now spawn randomly instead of spawning in a linear pattern.
There was a feedback that the pattern of the game was too simple. Just running around in circles avoiding and killing monsters. To provide more strategical gameplay, mobs will now randomly spawn for each level instead of spawning in a linear pattern. As a side note, different types of mobs are set to spawn for different levels, to provide diversity.
- 2 new mobs! (Crow, raccoon)
We added 2 new mobs!
The crow, which is super fast, will charge right at you! If you hear a cawing sound, be prepared with your flashlight to kill it!
The raccoon, which acts similarly as the albino squirrel, will eat any sundaes that it passes on the ground. No more saving up sundaes for you!
- Monster sizes have been reduced.
It was extremely hard to run past the mobs without getting damaged. Now, mobs are smaller enough for Sola to move around them.
Tutorial update
- Tutorial with controls added.
We added a basic tutorial with a story that explains how to move around and turn on your flashlight.
Bug Fix
-
You will now be able to play endless mode right after beating story mode.
Mob collision not giving damage has been removed.
We have a long way to go, but that means more exciting content will be available for you guys in the future. Keep looking forward, and always beware of the Speedway ~oOo~
