MR. WOO'S WAREHOUSE - UPDATE 0.93
Happy Halloween Maximum Action Fans!
Maximum Action version 0.93 has just been released! This update features one of our most action-packed levels yet Mr. Woo's Warehouse and an all-new endless level Penthouse Endless
MR. WOO'S WAREHOUSE
Inspired by the famous warehouse shootout from Hard Boiled
Shoot your way through a dark gritty cargo shipyard and into an underground gun smuggling operation. Fight waves of enemies on motorbikes, and dodge and weave through a warehouse packed with juicy destruction! Cars, boxes, scaffoldings, windows, all for you to destroy!
Find this level on the Good Luck Parking tape!
PENTHOUSE ENDLESS
Heavily inspired by Face Off, take a trip to a luxurious penthouse just in time for it to be raided by the FBI.
Shoot through couches, vases, plants, newspapers, and pillars as you battle your way through waves of enemies in this moody new endless level!
Lots of juicy destruction to be found here! Feathers and papers fill the room in true John Woo fashion! To unlock this level, find the tape hidden in Mr. Woo's Warehouse
Castor Troy approved!
Other Patch Notes
This update also includes an Optimization Pass on the code base for the game as well as many other tweaks to hopefully improve performance! As Maximum Action gets closer and closer to version 1.0, I want to optimize the game as much as I can! In the next update, I plan to optimize the game and replay system further as well as work on adding controller support as well as other accessibility options!
and even further, I am super excited to announce my next, (very early in development) project,
UPCOMING PROJECT : COVERT ULTRA
Covert Ultra is an arcade-style tactical shooter, and every level is a lone-wolf terrorist hunt. Play as a high-tech hitman for hire with spider-like abilities and compete to achieve each mission's best time and highest rank. Efficiency is your only priority.
Covert Ultra has been a absolute dream project of mine, and I hope that you all are as excited as I am to see it grow, an exclusive demo will be available soon to owners of Maximum Action! I have been developing it in the background alongside Maximum Action for quite some time now, and I believe it is finally ready to be revealed! I hope you are all as excited as I am for the future of Balloon Moose Games.
Thank you all so much for your continued support, and I really hope you enjoy this new update. As well as checking out Covert Ultra! -George Mandell

TOWN
"Town" is an all-new level built from the ground up by Andy (aka OptionalSpace) and I to be a rootin tootin and hollerin good time! Destructible fences, boxes, windows, bottles, pillars, tombstones, water towers, and balconies all added as new props! Soon to be added to the editor. We wanted to include all of our favorite western shootouts in this level, from an old Mexico-style courtyard to a cemetery full of tombstones.

On top of all this, a brand-new track by Daniel J. Stimac "Wild Wild Western" featuring professional whistling for a truly authentic soundtrack for this western showdown!
you'll also find other fun details added to both western levels, such as first aid kits being replaced with old timey medicine bottles! Glug glug glug!
UPDATES TO THE REPLAY SYSTEM
THE REPLAY SYSTEM IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS!!
There are still many bugs to be ironed out with this system, you have been warned!
The Maximum Action Replay System is still a major work-in-progress, but you'll find lots of changes made in this update to improve the experience.
AI DIRECTOR
A new AI director system has been implemented that recuts your gameplay into a cinematic experience! From close-ups to long shots, the system is completely dynamic and has lots of versatility
PHOTO MODE
If you don't like the AI director's choice of angles, you now have the option to change to a free camera photo mode to capture your own view of your kick-ass gameplay! Choose between different filters, image effects, and camera settings to capture the perfect shot of your action hero!
UPDATED PLAYER ANIMATIONS
The player animations for the replay have been massively updated to be more detailed, grounded, and cinematic. Watch your hero do a slow-motion dive onto his back and he mows down all the baddies in the room! Experience a true action movie recut of your gameplay!
SHARE YOUR SCREENSHOTS!
Please share any screenshots you take with the photo mode in the Maximum Action Discord or on Twitter! Tag me in them! @BalloonMoose Andy and I would love to see all the creative ways you capture your bad-assery!
