We also have a few improvements to the game that aren't related to sounds. First, we reworked the grapple hook sidegrade for the web power to have much better physics - this updated mode is my new favorite movement mode in the entire game. Try it out, and keep moving forward. We also added proper impact VFX for the kunai in the blink power, fixed some physics/jittering issues with the claw mode, and fixed a number of bugs with the giant power.
We've got a much bigger update in the works. We're planning to add a wanted system, inspired by the GTA franchise. Destroying robots will increase your wanted level, and at higher wanted levels, more dangerous enemies will appear and try to hunt you down. As part of this, we're planning to add a ton of new enemy types, many of which will have unique attacks or abilities to ramp up the challenge at high wanted levels. We're also trying a rework of the game's damage system, moving from our current hacking-effects system to a more traditional health bar. This health rework is a huge change, so we want your feedback on it before we fully add it to the game. We're planning to run an open beta test on our Discord, starting something this month. Please join, try out the rework, and let us know what you think!
