Welcome Carbonites!
Update Alpha - 1.2 is now released. Your game should update automatically on the Alpha branch if you have a key!
Update Feature:
Amplification
Kip now has the ability to amplify traps to further increase their effectiveness.
As of this update only the Spike Trap and Electro Pulse traps can be amplified.
The purpose of this update is to test whether this is a good addition to the game.
Amplification works by holding down the Amplify button "Z". This creates a large sphere around Kip and amplifies any traps within that range. Amplifying a trap can have many effects, but typically it "supercharges" those traps to either activate faster, do more damage, or create more chaos!
The amplify ability uses power charge denoted by the Kip Head progress bar at the bottom center of the HUD. As long as you have power, you can amplify. But be careful, amplifying is tough of Kip and requires him to use all his strength, limiting any other action during that time.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
