  Hyper Vyper v.20

  Keyword & Power System The level up system has been redesigned from the ground up. Cards are now organized around seven playstyles: Mover Go fast, and in different ways! Movement as power and possibility BlasterFor shooters! Ranged damage. Bullets; beams; sustained fire; on hit effects. Shaker Control the crowd, blow things up. AoE powers that help you deal with a horde.Striker Punch, kick, get close and destroy. High end single target damage, or turn your strikes into a tool. StreakerHigh end play rewarded with more momentum. Combo frags, critical hits or anything else to grow exponential power. Tanker Durability, in it’s myriad forms. Take more hits, find ways to turn defense into offense.ThinkerWin through planning, strategy, and control. Gain power through stillness, gain tools that help you control an area and summon machine allies to your cause.You acquire keywords as you pick cards associated with them. Keyword points are only granted the first time you pick a specific card. Leveling up the same Mover card three times only grants on point in Mover for example. Keyword totals can be seen on the HUD. Keywords grant special powers when you pass 3 or 6 points in a given keyword. There are 14 keyword powers in all, here are a few: Shaker I Enemies explode on death (benefits from your explosive damage buffs) Thinker I Summon a flying drone ally to fight with you Striker II Melee damage benefits from your velocity and sends enemies flyingLevel Up PowersThere are 36 new level up powers: just enough to reach max tier in any given keyword (accounting for hybrids). Here are just a few: Mover- Dynamo - Gain a damage multiplier on Super Jump- The Floor Is Lava! - Infinitely stacking damage multiplier while you’re in the air- Pogo - Gain a burst of upward movement on enemy elim Shaker- SplodeyFoot - Your melee attacks explode- Burning Patch - Your explosives spawn a burning patch- Implode Grenade - Your explosives pull enemies in rather than pushing them out Blaster- Deade...

  A few different changes have gone live for the demo since it released, these have all been apart of the same version. Capturing everything that's changed here, next patch will be a new major version with bigger changes. - Fixed several crashes, most of which were caused by world-transition- Fixed a bug causing level ups to be applied n times, with n being the number of runs within your play session. ie; on your 3rd run, level ups were applied 3 times.- Reduced higher tier enemy hp between 10-20% to accommodate for game difficulty with level x run buff removal :P- Fixed a bug causing games to persist past the 00:00 mark.- Fixed a bug causing various game audio to not be bound by menu audio sliders.

Added concurrency to sounds to cap the maximum that can be playing at once as well- Fixed a bug causing homing missiles without a target to become inert land mines until an enemy walked into them- Fixed a bug causing multiple level up calls on the same frame if the player gained enough xp for multiple levels at once (result was only getting credit for one level regardless of how many were gained).- Increased range that repositioned NPCs would be placed around the player.
