Spring Content Update: Cheats and Viruses!

[h3]Our free Spring content update is here and it’s positively infectious…

Seriously though, we’ve added a special new room where Ace will literally become infected by a virus. It’s fun, we promise.[/h3]

In this free content update, we’ve added a new room type to ROBOBEAT and opened up the Cheats menu, so you can debug your way to glory!

Check out our Spring Content Update Trailer to see what’s included in this update and read on to find out more 👇

[h3]New Room Type: Virus[/h3]

This new room type is designed for those beatmasters who love a high risk high reward strategy. In essence, you’re putting your health on the line in exchange for a powerful weapon.

Here’s how it works.

When you enter a virus room, you’ll see a big button on the ground. You can either choose to walk on by or push the big button to install a virus. If you push the big button, you’ll be presented with 3 high tier weapons and/or utilities to choose from. Getting an awesome new weapon for just pushing a button, surely this is too good to be true?

It is!

You’ve now got a virus, which means enemies will kill you in a single hit. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a mildly alarming gas mask symbol with a number above it. That number represents how many enemies you have to kill to purge the virus and go back to being a robo-badass. How many enemies you have to kill will depend on how many times you’ve pushed that big button. The first time, it’ll cost you 10 enemies, but that number can go all the way up to 60 for a major challenge.

If you’re looking for an easier time in ROBOBEAT though, then you’re probably going to be more interested in our other new addition.


[h3]Cheats Menu Unlocked[/h3]

Some tech savvy beatmasters have already found a way to access our cheats menu, but now we’ve made it easily accessible to all players!

To access the Cheats menu, all you need to do is input the Konami code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A). This will give you access to a whole new world of possibilities, from equipping any weapon/utility that you want right through to spawning certain enemies and accessing special room types. Much like the virus room, however, this comes at a cost!

While the Cheats menu is activated, you cannot make any progress and you cannot save the game. Some cheats will spoil content for you if you haven’t completed the game and, when misused, they can also break the game, but restarting the game should resolve it.

Get Your Plushie of Ace from ROBOBEAT

[h3]You’ve experienced how awesome it is to be Ace, but haven’t you always dreamed of having a cute and cuddly version of your favorite robo-gunslinger to carry with you wherever you go?

Well now, that dream COULD become a reality![/h3]

In case you don't know, Ace is the character you play as in ROBOBEAT. He's the cyborg assassin who's been tasked with killing the chaotic robot showman Frazzer. Accompanied by his handy cassette player, he employs a variety of weird weapons (including a Ping Pong bat) and slays to the beat of his own drum.

We’ve collaborated with the incredible team at Makeship to set up a petition to have Ace plushies made.

[h3]Follow the link here to support the petition or read on to find out more.[/h3]



How does the petition work and how can you get involved?

Makeship is a company that makes awesome plushies based on characters from independent creators, game developers, and creatives from all walks of life! They operate on a community funding model, which helps smaller creators and indie developers to make high quality plushies without taking huge risks.

The first step of the process for us is a petition, where we need ROBOBEAT players (and anyone else who wants an Ace plushie for whatever reason, we won’t judge) to pledge $2 towards the petition. If we can get 200 people to pledge $2 in 10 days, then our petition will be successful and we’ll move on to make the sample plushie for our Makeship campaign!

Please note that, if the petition is not successful, Makeship will refund you the $2 within 5-7 business days. If the petition is successful, however, then your $2 will go towards your Ace plushie and the rest of the cost will be taken automatically once the plushies are ready.
