Hey everybody! Thanks so much to everyone who played so far! This is a pretty big update for us in terms of quality of life, but also it shows a lot more of the direction we want to go with the momentum in the game.

Most notable changes are the new hyper speed mode that allows you to reflect bullets or stun enemies by ramming into them, and the new in game map that shows you where you have been and where you need to go.

Here is the full change log if you are interested in all the details

Skull Scavenger 0.7.0 Update

This update will clear your save game in the web player (sorry) this issue has been fixed and will not reoccur with future web player updates. If you downloaded the game your save should still work.

New Features

-Hyper Speed Mode!

When going max speed your skull will now reflect bullets. Ramming enemies at max speed will deal damage to them and stun them. If the ram attack does not defeat the enemy your Skull will do a back flip into the air becoming invulnerable for a short time. It is possible to shoot while airborne. Several new VFX and sounds have been added around this new mechanic.

-In game Map!

You can now hit the M key at any time to bring up a map of the current level that will show your position and the extract position. The map also has a fog of war so you map only see where you have already been. -Camera is now more dynamic zooms in and out based on velocity take velocity into account when calculating view offset - Added one outpost with 2 hearts with higher magic find to level 2

Balance
-Reduced max kill quest amount to 30 kills
