addedContinue modeOne thing we've been trying to improve over the years with our games, is player accessibility and approachability, and with that in mind, we've been openly testing with players a new feature that we're calling "Continue Mode", which lets the players have additional chances during a run in any of the games included in the collection.
addedHow it worksOnce you update the game, you'll start seeing a new panel when you lose in any of the games. You can continue playing after losing up to 3 times, and every time you continue your score will be cut in half. Using a continue token will also give you a small boost on whatever situation got you to lose, depending on the game, given you a chance to keep advancing in the game.
addedHow it worksYou can also choose not to continue and just end the run right there to start a new one or give another one of the Arcade games a try!
changedHow it worksIf you still want the old style no continues gameplay that was originally released, you can always go to the options menu and turn it off!
changedBossesAlong the same lines of making the game more approachable, we finally introduce health bars to the bosses of all games (that have bosses)!
