The Hard Rock mode has been updated to give you more control than before with the ability to quickly dart in any direction much faster which I believe should make this game mode even more fun and addicting to play. This should help you survive a little longer once you hone your skills at maneuvering. Also firing will pull your ship in the direction you face automatically, based on your current movement speed, ie being stopped won't pull you towards your target, but firing while moving at a decent speed will propel you towards your target.
With the new more insane control over your ship with this new patch, it will take you a little longer to self repair, now between 14-16 seconds, up from 9-11 before.
Also, be advised that using Spi-Roll attacks will really send you flying once your Spi-Roll attack has completed with this kind of game speed!
I think most players will like the direction I'm headed with the new controls, much faster and more responsive than ever, and you'll need it with so many little asteroids being shot at you at such high speeds!
But maybe I'm just assuming this, be sure and let me know in the comments below if you like this new Hard Rock mode, and if you like the new controls as of this update.. or if you just absolutely hate it! :-)
One thing is for sure.. Rock 'N Roll is likely to keep getting more tweaks, more changes, and more updates, so stay tuned and check back often! ..And have fun out there!
