Kritter "explosive" v0.8.10 udpate

Hello there fellow Kritters! What?! LJF Games releases two big updates within a month? Damn right we are! And we are so happy with this update. After bringing local coop, a new art style, new role skins and a shit load of new things (excuse my french), we are a now bringing even more changes and new features! I know it sounds too good to be true, but take a look. First, the online multiplayer is working again. Then, the base had a huge rework. M.Ark now have its own turret on its head. You only have to defend 4 directions against 8 previously.
You can now build TRAPS arround your base.
You don't have to rebuild the walls anymore. You can repare M.Ark against resources.
The shop has a new corner!
Oh and ... We entirely reworked the waves, with 3 NEW ENEMIES THAT PHYSICALLY EXPLODE WHEN THEY DIE! Oh my, it's so cool, you HAVE to try.
We also did a few cool things like, you don't have to press a button to "mine" the deposit. Now you just have to destroy them.
The settings menu now has a new style and you can navigate in it with a gamepad!
We can't wait to have your feedback about this update! Here is the full patch note :

Patch note v0.8.10

General

All the roles are unlocked by default. We want players to be able to create a co-op game and play different roles right away.

Gameplay

Defending walls are now reparable. You can repare then during fights or they will be repared by M.Ark at the end of a wave. Traps can be build in front of the walls. For now they can't be upgraded but that's gonna happen soon. A turret for M.Ark is not unlockable in the skill tree. The turret is not upgradable yet. The organization of the base changed. Waves are coming from 4 directions instead of 8. That means that you only have 4 walls to build now. M.Ark can be repared by spending resources on him. Resource deposits now need to be destroyed with your abilities to gather resources. The objective of the tutorial is more readable. It's not perfect yet as too many players still don't understand what they need to do.

Content

Three new enemies have been added. A basic stone warrior replacing the old blob ini waves. A javelin thrower replacing the wasps and a new tiny swarm spearman. The big stone golems and the canoners and all the three new character now share a color that indicate their level. White is T1, blue is T2 and black is T3. Red ones are berzerkers as the previous red blobs. New tips are available on the loading screen. Orange and pink Kritter skins have been polished. If you unlock M.Ark lvl 1 you'll see a repared model on M.Ark

Settings

The settings menu now has a new style and is working with a gamepad. It's possible to set fullscreen or windowed mode.

Other

Few perf optimization has been done on the UI. Bugs Pausing the game during the tutorial or during cloning won't affect the timer anymore. Two dozens of possible crashs have been fixed. And that's it! Thanks again everyone for all your feedback and support <3

The spaceship Mission Ark 182 (please, call him M.ark) crashes on an unknown planet. Damaged but not destroyed, M.ark activates a survival protocol: creating fighting robots called Kritters to protect and repair him.

YOU are one of them : a fragile, clueless pile of scrap metal with a mission far too big for your tiny frame. But through failure, learning, and repetition, you’ll grow stronger. Explore a hostile world, battle bizarre enemies and uncover the secrets behind M.ark’s crash.

Rise again, adapt and push forward.

Kritter, you are our only hope.

Kritter is a top-down roguelite combining hack 'n' slash and base-building elements. Playable solo or with up to 4 players online, the goal is to defend your spaceship against enemy hordes and gather the necessary resources to repair it.

YOUR KRITTER, YOUR HERO

You embody a Kritter, a type of combat robot created by M.Ark, your spaceship. You have complete control over your Kritter: you will need to juggle between your main weapon, heavy weapon, and constructions to protect M.Ark and attempt to escape this hostile planet.

AN ADVENTURE IN TWO PHASES

A TIME TO DEFEND

During a game, monsters will surge towards your spaceship in "waves". Each time you survive a wave, you'll earn a reward to evolve your Kritter. Will you upgrade one of your attacks? Heal yourself? Opt for more resources? Each game is unique, and your choice will be crucial.

A TIME TO EXPLORE

Between monster waves, you'll have a brief respite. This will be your chance to explore the surroundings in search of valuable resources needed to build defenses or improve your Kritter's statistics. However, beware, as this respite will be short-lived! Always keep an eye on the timer because when it reaches 0... Another wave will hit. Don't leave M.Ark defenseless.

CHOOSE YOUR GAMEPLAY

Your Kritter adapts to your playstyle! You can opt for different classes that drastically change the gameplay. Currently, the game features 3 classes:

The Defender: In this form, your Kritter fights in melee combat with a sword. It can leap into the air and crash down on groups of enemies. The Defender can also build a scarecrow to distract and lure monsters wherever desired. The Defender is sturdy and can construct solid stone walls.
The Engineer: Your Kritter fights here at mid-range with a flamethrower. A true war machine, the Engineer also shoots sharp nuts around him. It can place turrets that automatically target your opponents. The Engineer is more fragile than its counterparts but more destructive.
The Tracker: Your Kritter wields a sniper rifle here; the Tracker can take down targets from kilometers away. It also has a mortar shot for area damage and can place mines along its path to greet those foolish enough to follow. The Tracker creates barriers that its shots can pass through. Handy!

AN OVERWHELMING THREAT

Despite your efforts, it's highly likely that defeat will occur at some point. M.Ark will then rewind time, bringing you back to its cockpit, and everything will need to be done again... Well, almost everything! You'll be able to upgrade your Kritter or M.Ark between games using soul crystals! These major upgrades will make life easier for you: adding a shield around M.Ark, adding a radar to know where enemies are coming from, enhancing your strength, boosting your resources, increasing your life... The choices are numerous!

A STORY THAT UNFOLDS OVER TIME

Kritter is a story of time. When you lose, you rewind time; when you play, you battle against time... The story itself unfolds within this temporal chaos. M.Ark is the narrator of the story... But M.Ark suffers from amnesia! With each defeat, with each return to its cockpit, the story will progress. It is through advancing that M.Ark will gradually remember the reason for our presence here.

DYING IS MORE FUN TOGETHER

Kritter is a demanding game that will require you to face death more than once... So what's better than facing it together? Invite your friends, form squads of up to 4 players, and discover the exciting story of Kritter in cooperative play!
