Wreck Out with the Devs!
NEW Summer 22 Demo!
All New VFX
Our suite of new visual effects makes the action more electrifying than ever. We've got new tackle particle systems, skid-marks, explosions and more.
Improve Controls
Wreck Out is now easier to pick-up-and-play than ever before. You are no longer required to swing the ball to shoot, just fire from-the-hip whenever you are ready. Experts can still pull of a devastating power-shot, but newcomers will find it easier to get up to speed.
We've also tweaked the tutorials, simplified the menus and added a work-in-progress tournament system against bots.
Enjoy, and let us know what you think.
Power-Ups and Ultimates Updated
Ultimate Abilities
The system for ultimate abilities had been simplified as follows:
Assignment
- BEFORE: The were randomly assigned to characters
- NOW: Each character has a specific ultimate
Triggering
- BEFORE: Play skillfully to fill your skill meter to level 1, 2 or 3 and then trigger
- NOW: You can use your character's ultimate once per match
Ability Types
- BEFORE: A mixture of ability types, from turning your opponent into an ice cube, to repelling tackles, to rebuilding or armouring bricks.
- NOW: Ultimates always enhance your shooting or tackling capability i.e. they apply a super power to your existing capabilities.
Below you can see an example of the new Ignite Scattershot ultimate assigned to the Ignite character:
Power Ups
Power-ups are spawned from smashed bricks and can be collected during gameplay. The system has been updated as follows:
Collection
- BEFORE: You could collect them by driving through them, or they could be collected by a loose ball, with the last player to have possession of the ball getting the power-up. This could sometimes be confusing as the frantic nature of the gameplay made it difficult to tell who has last touched the ball.
- NOW: You can collect them by driving through them, but a loose ball will collide with them and push them around the arena. This means you can flush a power-up out of the loop in Pinball Dream Park for example by firing the ball through it.
Power-Up Types
- BEFORE: We had one type of power-up which would randomly result in either bricks being rebuilt, armoured or shielded.
- NOW: We now have separate power-ups for brick rebuild, armour and shield so you can clearly see the result before collecting.
These changes create an elegantly balanced system where Ultimates, which are offensive/attacking in nature, are character based and can be triggered once per match, while power-ups, which are defensive in nature, can be collected during gameplay.
Introducing Fine-Aim
Fine-Aim is triggered by holding down the action button while turning, causing a localised slow-motion effect on your vehicle, with an extended aiming arrow. This gives you more time to line up your shot and release.
The trade off is that you cannot achieve a Power Shot using fine aim, and of course you risk giving your opponent a little extra time to tackle you. Expert players will learn when to use Fine Aim, and when to shoot-from-the-hip for speed and power.
Score Attack Tournament
We will be posting a series of hints & tips on the Huey Games Discord throughout the tournament so you can keep fighting to the finish!
