Hello everyone,
a couple days ago, we told you Synthwave Is Coming – now it's here! We've fitted Rainbow Reactor with 9 brand-new music tracks which make the game appear in a whole new light. The beat of the music is synched to the appearance of the Chromium Balls, and even more importantly, to the right time to grab them before they fall off the rail. So if you pay attention to the music, or even better, groove along to it a little, you will soon be able to perform intuitive saves that weren't possible before. Also, this heavily '80s-inspired new sound track adds to the atmosphere of Rainbow Reactor, which has always been inspired by the decade that was famous for arcade culture and the rise of cyberpunk.
People who hate synthesizers don't have to worry though – of course, you can still turn the music off in the options menu and we have other improvements for you as well. For example, it's now possible to see freshly formed Chroma Balls on their way to the emitter. In the glass pipes behind these machines, you can now see which colours will appear on the rails next. Very useful for planning ahead! Also, when you set the voice volume of our HoverBot to zero, now all narration will be skipped, so you can move through the game faster. On top of that, there are quite a bit of added tidbits to the graphics which make the Rainbow Factory look better than ever, as well as further performance improvements and bug fixes.
So this is one of our biggest updates so far, a lot of code had to be re-written to allow for perfect beat-matching, but we think it was worth it, as we feel the whole playing experience has been transformed into something much more dynamic and well tuned. We hope you'll all agree and have fun – in which case we'd be super grateful if you could invite your friends to try Rainbow Reactor too and get some more entries to our leaderboards. And of course, reviews are always appreciated.
But for now, check out this new update and get a groove on! :lunar2019coolpig:
