RocketBoots Mania PAX Challenge!
HELLO RUNNERS!
Hope you had a great holiday break and you are ready to jump in to improve your records - because we most certainly are!
There is a couple of major updates waiting for you:
As discussed in the previous updates and on our Discord we have gathered a lot of positive feedback since the Early Access launch, but we also pay close attention to the feedback from the players that decided not to buy our game. The single biggest reason for such a mistake (not buying our game) was the percieved identity mismatch - people either thought this is an endless runner (because of the old name "Ricky Runner" or they thought its an adventure game for kids (because of the cheerful and cute graphics). We are sure that with the new name RocketBoots Mania and the new art direction, no one will be mistaken this is a serious competitive title. Just you wait till you see our new character Zoe in action! Some sneak peak can alrady be seen on our Discord.
We are thrilled about your feedback from the Xmas challenge and since we are going to PAX South we wanted to show off and decided to bring you a brand new and even better challenge. This one is actually based off a special Multiplayer preview map called "Shuffle" which is also included in this update and it is accessible through the Dev Area directly from main menu. Let us know how you like both the challenge and the Shuffle - multiplayer preview. Both of these maps feature a new mechanic / feature and that is the Jump pad.
Holding the slide/pack button [SHIFT] before or while wallrunning cancels climb. More detailed info on this one in our recent blog post.
Can't wait for your feedback Runners! Stay strong!
