Hey roombarumberos!
This Saturday morning, it's time to talk about how to achieve maximum glory in Roombattle. Power-ups and mystery skills!
Power-Ups are a really fun and powerful tool to beat your friends. Each one gives you a one-time use of a special ability, so next time you see a shiny chip run towards it!
To get a Mystery Skill, you'll have to put in a little more effort. You'll need to win a minigame round in order to get it, but in exchange this upgrade will last for the ENTIRE next round. You'll be flying.
Power-Up Your Vacuum
Butcher: The scariest power-up in the game, you can turn your vacuum into a war machine. It gives you 4 extra knives, so it’s perfect to use it in short-range spaces, like in the danger zone
Oil Slip: This is a classic; spill an oil puddle to stun your enemies for some seconds; it’s ideal for when you are being chased
Sharpening: You feel like your weapon is too small? This power-up will solve your problems by making your weapon grow!
Shock Wave: Vacuums can’t use tasers but with some tweaks they can make a shock wave, which is pretty useful as a cleaner that battles against others. When you use this power-up all the enemies in range get stunned, so it’s perfect for situations where you’re surrounded on all fronts
Slow Down: When used, it slows down the closest enemy. Doesn’t sound very epic, but don’t underestimate this power-up in a 1 vs 1
Speed Up: I mean, the name says it all; this power-up turns your normal vacuum into “Vacuum Viiiiiiiiiiiirgolini”.
Air Pump: Is there any vacuum bothering you by invading your personal space? Use the air pump then! Every enemy near you will move away.
Shuriken: Remember the tomahawk clips from Black Ops II? With the shuriken, you can do the same! From killing an enemy that is far away to creating a new pointy end where balloons can pop on the map, it is one of the funniest power-ups in the game, in my opinion.
Bomber Man: Why explode balloons with a weapon when you can do it with an explosion like cool people do? Use this power-up to throw a bomb that after some time will make everyone in its range regret being there.
Bigger Balloons: Works the same way as the slow down, but you make their balloons bigger instead. Useful in every situation but especially in 1 vs 1.
Mystery Skills:
Extra Balloon: Balloons are like dollars, no one would refuse an extra one. This mystery skill provides you one more balloon.
Double Dash: Perfect for aggressive players, it lets you reuse the dash after a much shorter amount of time making you move faster and change direction with ease.
Small Balloons: Size does matter! By having smaller balloons it will be more difficult for your enemies to pop them, so be proud of your little balloons.
Magnet: Tired of getting your power-ups stolen in your face? This magnet will solve your problem. Increase your pickup range and spam power-ups!
Iron Balloons: Make your balloons invulnerable for a few seconds at the beginning of the game, so it’s perfect to play aggressively without having to care about getting yourself in trouble.
And that’s all the Power-Ups and Mystery Skills in the game! Let us know which Power-Up or Mystery Skill would you add in the game in the comments!
