[h2]A Test Drive of the Upcoming New Weapons[/h2]
Our roadmap schedule is still going as planned! For the current milestone of a new Power-Up Pack, Our team at development have managed to cook up new weapons to try out against the A.I. menace. Live testing and data collection is required, so these will be implemented in the game's Beta branch. As per usual protocol, earning the right to test these weapons means performing the necessary achievements to unlock them. Just look at the updated database to learn their unlock requirements. Happy building and shooting!
Here's a preview for some of them:
Blitz Hunter - Enemy ship-targetting drones that attacks for you
Rad Bomb - Bomb projectile that leaves intense heat zones that damages and slows enemies
Junk Ball - Magnetic ball that grows in size and damage as it absorbs drones
[h2]To access the Beta Branch[/h2]
Towards a brighter future,
