Update #2 is here!

Hey, Chasers!

Update #2 is a big one and is out now on Steam Early Access!

Check out the list:

NEW STAGE


[h2]ROOFTOP RUMBLEEEE!!![/h2]

Dazzle through the night above 4 beautiful rooftops. Each based on a season. Beware, after some time the buildings start falling! ːsteammockingː



NEW MODES


BATTLE ROYALE


Feel the adrenaline of being the last survivor in a Battle Royale. Can you be one that lasts? Mode playable in Free-For-All or in Teams.



There is also a new Force Field that will reduce size over time to induce players to meet each other as time passes by.



TOUCHDOWN


There will be only 1 Crystal at Stage, sometimes 2 or 3. They only spawn after a Touchdown is made.



Work with your team to catch a Crystal, protect your Crystal bearer and touchdown in your base!



NEW GAMEPLAY FEATURES


[h2]Shield[/h2]

Now you have a new defensive item to protect you from all the hazards out there!



[h2]Super Jump[/h2]

Pretty much self-explanatory, isn't it? Let's just say you will be able to jump reaaally high. You can even mix it with other items such as jetpack and parachute to give you a big boost up.




[h2]Dynamic Obstacles[/h2]

Added different types of obstacles on the Triathlon Races.



[h2]Kart Drift 2.0[/h2]
We had Drift since Update #1, but this one was revamped from zero. We are still tweaking, but we already like it a lot. Feels pretty good doing curves at high speed. It also gives you a turbo if you do it in style. Rock on. 8)



[h2]Melee attack[/h2]
This is a feature a lot of players were asking to - be able to do a tiny punch in a nearby opponent and slow them down. This is not an Item. You can do it anytime, but it drains your Stamina.

NEW LEAGUES

There are now 7 Leagues to win:



What else?


* Gameplay improvements, such as speed and gravity
* Lots of bug fixes
* New Songs

---

What's next?


For our next Update you can expect:
* Skins for Characters. We can't wait to show you.
* Improve on-foot gameplay with new animations.
* New version of the City Square stage.
* Add Practice mode for first-time users.

---

As an Early Access game we appreciate every piece of feedback given by the players. Have any? Join our Discord or drop a message on our Steam forum.

Thanks and enjoy Update #2.

Cheers! ːsteamhappyː

[h2]"When it's ready"[/h2]

We'll always try our best to deliver everything we've talked about, with the quality we expect. But there are times when iteration takes more time than anticipated. And a specific feature might not be ready... or up to our standards. If that happens, we’ll take more time to polish and test the feature before we release it to the community. We'd rather deliver quality updates over quantity.

And that's it!

Hope you liked this community update! Whether you did or did not, you can hop in the conversation to tell us why. Any other idea? We're all hear!

We'll be back soon, in the meantime happy Crystal Chasing!

Crystal Chasers League 1st Update is Live!

Hello fellow chasers!

Today we released a new update with some new features and major fixes to improve the overall gameplay of the game – and this is just the start!

Introducing "Roll"




Roll is a new gameplay mechanic for characters on-foot. It let you quickly evade incoming projectiles, while also giving you a new combining gameplay movement. You can also reflect Rolling Beetles and send them back to your opponent! And deflect incoming Ladybugs. But be aware, it costs Stamina. ;)


Item Probability Distribution


Too easy or too hard to win? With this feature, players’ odds on receiving certain items will change according to their current in-match rank. Before it was 100% random. This is intended to bring more balance in the matches.



[h3]Major Changes[/h3]
  • Roll to avoid and reflect items and mix with other movements.
  • Item Probability Distribution.
  • Game physics.
  • Targeting warning when a projectile is chasing you. Have a heads up before being hit and try avoid it!


[h3]Overall Changes[/h3]
  • A.I. perception about Crystals on Crystal Captors Game Mode. Now they can find hidden crystals too, not just you.
  • Stamina Bar visual (more responsive).
  • Option to unlock the mouse cursor from the center of the screen.
  • Restart Match button.
  • Vehicle camera improvement.
  • New SFXs and volume adjustments.
  • Drift and Brake buttons swap on controller. Some players were a bit confused about their button location.


[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Jetpack visual feedback when about to end.
  • Interaction with Crystals after the end of the match changing final score.
  • Crystals stuck behind and inside walls. Not anymore!
  • Spawning with Glider if you are knocked out with Glider on.
  • Spooky Castle and Toy Land walls without collisions.
  • Characters 3D Mesh overlap.
  • Characters animation fix. Some small weird glitches are gone!


Some of these updates would not have happened without our community's feedback! Thank you all - we do hear ya! o/

Stay tuned for what's next. We will post the Roadmap soon! Can’t wait to tell you the new big and cool features and improvements that are coming. As usual, feel free to join our Discord or Steam forums and talk with us while you help us develop CCL. See you soon and take care!
