Beta Update: Special Abilities

The Mech Mice Team has yet again hit the live button on many awesome updates! Here's the full post:

UPDATE #1: Special Abilities

Special abilities for Flank and Blaze have now been released. These epic abilities add a new level of fun to the first chapter. Here’s a closer look at what they look like: 

Flank’s Doom Spin 

 

Blaze’s Dash n’ Smash 

 

UPDATE #2: Developer Hacks 

After a few team discussions, we have decided to unlock a few awesome features that, until now, only the studio had access to.  

1. Camera Controls 

All Beta Testers now have full access to the camera controls. To turn on and off these controls, press the ‘C’ key on your keyboard. Once the controls are activated, use the ‘W’, ‘A’, ‘S’, ‘D’ keys and your mouse to move the camera around. To reset the camera controls, simply press the ‘C’ key again. Keep in mind that the controls haven’t been perfected quite yet so it’ll take some time to get used to. 

2. Speed Controls 

That’s right, we’ve given you all the ability to play Mech Mice in fast and slow motion. We use fast motion to speed up the testing process and slow motion because it’s freaking awesome and epic! Press ‘F’ to activate fast motion and ‘G’ to activate slow motion.

These controls will only be available during the beta test. With great controls comes great responsibility. I expect to see some epic, cinematic YouTube videos come out of this. If you make some, make sure you post them in the comments! :D 

UPDATE #3: Level 2-3 

Founders now have access to level 2-3. In this level, Dusty sneaks into the Dark Union base to rescue Torq, the Engineer! Cody did a great job at making this level extra difficult. TIP: watch out for those spy bugs. 

 

You’ll also notice that we’ve also added more special effects, like explosions and particle effects. What are you waiting for? Jump in the game and let us know what you think!
