Update time! Lots of bugs and tweaks as well as a couple of big additions; firstly, the end game screen got a biiiiiiig overhaul. Secondly, a third option to your runs has been added, the Escape Pod!
"A what? Why?" you ask? Well, for a few reason. Firstly because a Roguelike is an unforgiving premise - you make it or you don't. But in The Pit 2 you're also a mercenary treasure hunter, a raptor, so dying doesn't sound terribly profitable. So, we've begun implementing a few features that give you a third option. If you survive long enough to find an escape pod, and maybe you're not too confident about your chances of reaching the bottom, why not take the money and run?
"What money?" you ask, because you are full of questions today! Not literal money, but you've been racking up a score in the game for some time and the Escape Pod is a way to take that score and brag about it. More importantly, we've added Datacore items; cubes filled with vast amounts of alien research and information which will be worth a fortune to any of the galactic empires willing to pay your price. Or, to put it another way, they're worth a LOT of points to towards your total score, provided you leave The Pit alive.
In the coming weeks we'll be expanding on this system, with more cool little twists, but for now you can challenge The Pit as normal and see your end-game stats laid out in the Scoring Screen, which has been given a huge overhaul.
Keep playing! Keep sending us your feedback - feedback is always a big part of these updates. And stay tuned for more cool stuff to come!
