A couple of weeks ago, we revealed some footage of a new minigame. Why don't we take a closer look?
This is Brick Breaker (WIP name). There's actually multiple ways to play it. The first way is through Arcade Mode, you'll go through a single round in each playthrough, and play to increase your overall score. The second way is right from the menu!
When playing from the menu you can play two different modes. You can play a single round with any character. This works exactly the same as in Arcade Mode, but completely self-contained. Your score gets saved as a highscore, separated for each character.
The most important factor in your score is your completion time. The faster you are, the higher your score! But if you fail to break all bricks, you'll only be scored on the amount of bricks you managed to break, which is a massive hit to the final score.
The second mode is the Endless Run! As you might think from the name, you play an unlimited amount of rounds, and keep increasing your score until your potion explodes! Damage to your potion carries over from round to round, so even though damage won't impact your score, you have to make sure to finish each round with the least amount of damage taken as you can, or you'll be eliminated!
Damage is not the only factor as you get further in. The more rounds you have completed, the faster the bullets will get! This is a double-edged sword, as it means that bullets will be harder to hit. However, rounds will pass by much faster once bullets gain enough speed, making it even easier to gain more points once you get further into the run!
There's several different brick layouts. No matter where or how you're playing Brick Breaker, the layout will be randomly selected. They all have the same amount of bricks, but you'll have to slightly adapt your strategy on each round to clear each pattern as fast as possible!
If there's anything you'd like to see added to Brick Breaker, let us know in the comments, or in our Discord server down below!
Brick Breaker is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of new additions. Come back next week to learn more more info on other new minigames, game modes, collectables, and QoL changes!
