Update 4 : New Main Weapon, Evolutions, and Boss!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hello Survival Typists!
This update brings a lot of new content for you to play with. Since we know a lot of you have been impatient for the new stuff, let’s get right down to it!
[h3]New Main Weapon : Splatter Shot[/h3]
Splatter Shot introduces a different weapon and play style for our survival typists. Spit out nasty goo at your enemies to slow them down and deal D.O.T. while your other weapons finish them off. Evolutions allow you to change the damage type according to your build preference or gives you options to expand the spread of the goo.
[h3]Weapon Evolutions…Evolved![/h3]
We’re also planning to add more weapon evolutions to our current weapon set to give you even more opportunities to discover new weapon synergies. Repeater and Heat Ray are getting evolutionary updates this time around, like Exploding Bullets for Repeater.
[h3]New Boss : Cerberus[/h3]
Like the 3 headed creature from Greek mythology, this boss has 3 heads that relentlessly shoot enemies at you. We made this boss especially for the speed typers to have a lot of words to type in rapid succession!
Like some of our other bosses, Cerberus has a final form that comes back to haunt you later in the game. But we’ll keep that a secret for now…
[h3]Outro[/h3]
That’s it for this update folks! We hope you enjoy this update, and we will be back again in 2 months to give you some fresh new content and features!
