The update v3.1 is now available. It focuses on controlling your hacked mechas.
Special attacks
Your hacked mechas now have a set of special attacks. Only 4 available for this update, which are: powerful attack, damage zone, heal zone, and stun zone. When you use a special attack, it uses an energy bar that has been added to all your mechas. It takes a few seconds to recharge so you can launch a new special attack.
Some wild mechas can use special attacks too. In case that happens, you have the possibility to avoid it if you control your mechas correctly. This brings us to a new features: command your mechas.
Command your mechas
At any time during the game, you can point at any place on ground and click. Your mechas will automatically move to this spots. It can be useful if you want to run away from combat or avoid an enemy special attack for instance.
If you point at an enemy, they will attack him.
In order for this feature to be interesting, the AI of the mechas has been improved. Also for more accuracy in your orders, you can stop time during items and special attacks selection.
