- Gameplay
It is time! Crackpots finally hit version 1.0! This marks the full release of the game, and the end of the Early Access period. This is the biggest update we've ever had, featuring a new character, stage, new game modes, masks, and a ton of new features and pieces of content. We're holding nothing back on this one!
Introducing: Wandit, the headless dog!
Wandit is a magical dog that gained the ability to separate his head from his body. When you play as Wandit, you'll have to consciously track and control the position of 2 separate entities: the body, and the head. You can control his body directly like any other character. His head, instead, will float in place until you use a command to move it to a new position. It's a lot of work, but once you master him, you'll be able to consistently control 2 areas of the battlefield at once!
Strike:
Press the strike button to hit stuff with Wandit's body by swinging its tail. Wandit's head can also strike; Every time it's close to a bullet, he'll automatically strike with his wand. Be aware that every time Wandit's head strikes, it'll fall a short distance!
Special:
Use your special move to move Wandit's head! You can aim the movement in any direction, and it'll act as a dash! If Wandit runs into a bullet during the dash, movement will be interrupted and he'll strike the bullet. Since this strike comes from a special, it'll block stuns, and won't fall from its current position! Time your dashes correctly to keep the head exactly where you want it!
Shot:
Wandit's bullets have no special characteristics, but they'll be created from Wandit's Head! While Wandit's head is charging-up, you can freely move Wandit's body with no restrictions to strike bullets and collect mana. As with the strike, every time you shoot, the head will fall a short distance!
Ultimate:
Wandit accidentally swallows his wand and starts to cough up a barrage of bullets! While he's shooting, his body will be free to act in any way. The head won't be able to strike bullets which might leave you open to attacks, but you'll still be able to reposition the head with a special to attack from multiple directions!
Wandit has been in the works for a really long time. He was conceptualized before even some of the launch characters, so to us, he's been a core part of Crackpot's cast for years! We're really excited to finally get to see the whole gang together and we hope you'll grow to love him as much as we do!
Story Mode
We're serious about Wandit being a core part of Crackpots, which is why we also gave him a fully featured Story Mode chapter! Wandit's story exists as an extra side chapter and is not specifically tied to the events of the other chapters, so you can play it at any point after clearing Chapter 6, once every character has been introduced. We won't go into any details here, so you'll have to play it for yourself!
Introducing: Kooky Kennel!
Wandit's Stage, Kooky Kennel is also included in this update! Kooky Kennel is a misterious pocket dimension where all of Wandit's dreams come true. This stage has no hazards, but it's a large stage, ideal for a character that can be in 2 places at once!
Arcade Mode
Arcade Mode is a brand new game mode that can be played in Single-Player and Local Co-op. You'll have to clear several stages of Crackpots matches, separated by
