Introducing New Gamemodes - Selected Before Starting the Game:

(Last Crook Standing)

  • Free For All - the standard game mode from before, earn as much money as you can before time runs out, win the most to win

  • Teams - standard game mode but with teams

  • First to 25k - standard game mode but the first to reach a cumulative score of 25k wins the game and ends the game early - adds a lot of tension

  • Stack Race - only one item spawns at a time, your stack cannot break from tilting too much, first to get a stack of 10 wins the game

  • Last Crook Standing - you get 5 lives, you lose a life when hit by a flying object or when dashed into, you lose when you’ve got 0 lives, be the last crook alive to win

  • Capture The Flag - "Crooks" "Like" "Us" logo pieces spawn throughout the level, grab those items anywhere in your stack in the correct order ("Us" at the bottom, "Crooks" at the top) to get a point

Levels Now Have Mini Puzzles to Get Access to a Safe

  • Break the safe open by tossing it on the ground to get access to a bronze statue worth 5k

  • The jewellery shop level has a safe behind a laser wall which can only be opened with a guard - throw a knocked out guard at the lasers, or have one on your stack to open the laser wall

  • The temple level has a button which requires a certain stack height to lower a pillar to get access to a safe

Check out this video for an example!

Some More New Features and Improvements...

  • Rockets, anvils and bananas now leave decals to show how destructive the crooks are

  • You can now dash with a stack to make a quick turn to help with maneuvering and dodging

  • You can now throw items from your stack one at a time to give you more chances to hit someone

  • You can now throw things into the back of the van - but you only ever get a 1x multiplier for that

  • The “lights out” gadget now has a cool green nightvision effect

  • The punch wall is improved

  • The valuable golden statue in the safe worth 10k can now be broken into two pieces worth 5k each, so be careful not to drop it

  • Improved controller support

We're also going to be running a few events during the festival - We'd love it if you could join us!

  • Wed 3rd at 5pm GMT - Q&A

  • Fri 5th at 5pm - Livestream

  • Mon 8th at 5pm - Livestream
