Welcome to Slimy Co.!
Turns out, there's a reason why the Sewers are a mess. Slimy Co., a local slime manufacturer, has been letting their AI-powered production pipeline run amok. You can help Robo Vacuum collect some evidence to aid in his quest to litigate against them as he searches for ethical revenge. Either way, you'll have to find a way up to the roof to even get the chance to meet him, let alone finish the level. Will we see him again in the future? Only time will tell.
Character Customization
I'm also excited to share that you can now change the appearance of Ogie! Dozens of color options for both your primary and secondary colors are now at your disposal.
Arcade Mode
Arcade Mode is here in its first iteration! Currently, this allows you to play any course (even if not unlocked in Story Mode) with a few options:
CASUAL MODE: Play the course normally, but with no NPCs / Quests.
CHALLENGE MODE: Play the course without NPCs / Quests, and only with 3 lives. Awards an achievement.
PURE FRUSTRATION MODE: Play the course without NPCs / Quests, and no checkpoints. Awards an achievement.
Some Loose Ends
In the earlier levels, a few quests deserving of their own achievements now have them. In each of levels 1-3, there are achievements for completing the search-and-rescue missions. Some new camera tech developed in Level 4 have propagated back to the early levels as well. Some areas will now require you navigating from a fixed camera angle. I hope this improves the quality of certain areas, as well as provides a refreshing change of pace.
