Our main aim with this update has been to add some extra gameplay modes, to add extra variety to how you can play.
The new modes are...
Paint
Two teams fight to paint the most sky. The team that paint's the most, wins.
The longer you stay alive the quicker you can paint, so protecting your team mates is essential.
Capture the cow
Capture the cow to win! The player that holds it the longest wins... but there's a catch, you can't shoot, use your specials or roll while you are holding the cow.
King
Everyone works together to get the king. The person that shoots down the king, becomes the new king.
In this mode, only the king can use their special weapon- so you had better be careful while trying to take them out!
Souvenir
This mode is like regular battle, but when players die, they leave behind a coin. The player that collects the most coins wins.
If you're not a sharp shooter you can still win- just let other people do all the shooting while you go around stealing their coins- you'll drive them crazy!
We've had a lot of fun playing all the new modes, but if we had to chose a favourite, it would probably be Paint mode. It's very strategic, often has exciting ends, and it can also be quite relaxing just painting the sky. Also, if you're playing single player, try playing Paint against the bots... it's quite a fun challenge (If you can win a 1v3 bots game, you can officially count yourself as a skilled pilot!)
