| Community | Power-Ups and Ultimates Updated Following community feedback from recent playtesting events, we have overhauled the power-up system and the ultimate system to make them more simple, clear and effective. Let's take a look: 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 · B… | — | |
| In-game event | Introducing Fine-Aim We were inspired by your feedback on Discord, and from participants in the recent Score Attack tournament to introduce a new Fine-Aim feature: 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 achi… | — | |

| Community | Art Style Overhaul 3/3 With new out-of-this-world arenas and party-time characters created, we needed a new-look logo for Wreckout to capture the essence of the game. Capturing the Action We wanted a logo which captured the unique action of Wreckout at a glance. We started with some concept sketches: We chose the sketch which felt like it captured the fun-factor of the game and the vehicle element, but we also wanted… | — | |

| Community | Chain switched to Energy Beam! Recently, we made the switch from a grapple chain to an energy beam in Wreckout, as explained in the video below: Aside from the fact that it looks cool, the new energy beam is always in tension and never goes slack like the chain did. This makes the physics feel super tight and responsive, which is paramount in such and fast-paced game. It's the little things which often add up to make a big d… | — | |
| Community | Ball Bounce Risk / Reward When it comes to gameplay, the magic is often in the subtle details which work together in harmony to create a desired affect. For Wreckout , we have been playtesting and fine-tuning from the outset to ensure that matches feel dramatic, silky-smooth and perfectly balanced. To use just one example, the "bounce" value for the ball has been carefully balanced according to the surface it hits. If y… | — | |
| Community | Round System Explained There are 3 rounds in a Wreckout match, like in a beat 'em up 🥊, but each round goes to sudden death ⚽️ if there's no winner when time runs out ⏱️. This system creates maximum drama, and breaks up matches into bite sized chunks. It also means there is always a winner and multiple different levels of victory, because each round can be won in three ways: · Perfect: The winner destroys all of the… | — | |
| Community | 🤪 PINBALL FLIPPERS! 🤪 In Wreckout each arena has one or more "toys" which affect gameplay in fun, crazy ways. Lately we've been testing these pinball-style flippers in our default arena using placeholder visuals.

| Community | TELL US YOUR POWER-UP IDEA! This is the Brick Armour "ultimate" power-up in Wreckout . Ultimates can be activated when your Skill Meter fills up by... well, playing skilfully! You can activate it when the Skill Meter reaches level one, or wait until level 2 or even level 3 to increase the effect of the ultimate. We've got a handful of ultimates working in the game, but we want a whole bunch more and we'd love to hear your… | — | |

Wreckout has been developed with a deliberately iterative approach, so everything in the game is constantly evolving as we fine-tune and refine, and polish every element to be the best it can be.
