Hello hackers,
It's been a while! But I'm sure you'll find it was worth the wait: today we are releasing an all new seasonal event which also includes tons of new features! So hackers, be ready to go down the rabbit hole with Hacktag's first spring event called "Easter Eggs" and here is the special trailer.
As you may have guessed by the name of the update, it was supposed to be released "slightly" earlier...ːsteamhappyː But since we were close to make it with a lot of new features and fixes we thought a few days of delay would totally worthed it, and here it is!
Now let's see what those eggs are hiding!
Easter Eggs event special content.
New bodies and accessories for your characters
For the previous event, we came up with special "skin tones", but the costumes of the characters didn't change. This time, we rolled up our sleeves to bring you two new outfits such as those.... well... overalls and rolled up sleeves costume. ːsteamhappyː
Easter special mission
We had so much fun creating the Christmas special mission (the idea of a Walrus Santa who's a hacker genius is still making me laugh even now), so since Easter is one week later in Hacktag's world, here comes a new special mission event with a new and rather uncommon customer with an even more uncommon request...
Every levels are blooming with Spring decorations
As you have probably noticed by now, the levels in Hacktag are loaded with funny easter eggs and other references. So for this event we decided to put actual easter eggs into the building. Geddit? Yeah, I know, it is mindblowingly meta.
The New permanent content:
Behold, the new social menu!
Directly from the main menu you have now access to the all new "Social" menu. It not only contains a page where you can manage your friend list and invite them to a game, but also some of the new menus detailed below.
Oh! Statistics!
The social menu also gives you access to statistics about your games & characters, which we have no doubt you'll enjoy checking once in a while. Please keep in mind that the data collection started a few months after early access release, so the Veteran hackers won't necessarly be able to track all of their incredible achievements.
Player icons are here!
We know you have been dreaming of it, it has now become a reality! From the social menu you can now select a player icon among the one you've unlocked. As you can see there are about 130 icons for now. And yes, I know, this board is screaming: "Gotta unlock 'em all!"
You can now use your coins!
Make it rain! Remember the coins you looted in the safes after winning a mission? Oh I know you do. Well you can use those to unlock items without waiting for winning it in a safe anymore.
New shinyLeaderboard
And here another reason to have the fanciest hackers in the game, the new leaderboard shows the pretty faces of the teams who made their way to the top 5!
Improved tutorial
In the previous tutorial, we made the choice to keep "secret" some gameplay features in order to allow the players to figure it out on their own. But! Only fools never change their minds and the new tutorial now explains many gameplay subtleties to help the newcomers.
