We've massively tweaked both weapon upgrade values and changed player health scaling. We've noticed that there weren't enough reasons to upgrade weapons since the damage and force are relatively the same even if you level up multiple times. Also, player level ups do not feel meaningful since the relative health increase is quite small.
We want level ups to feel powerful and make it worthwhile to upgrade cards! We've tweaked the general progression path so in the first player levels, your health increases significantly. In addition, players who have played a longer time will be relatively closer to each other. This makes matches against two higher-level players more fair, and a better incentive for lower level players to level up. The same progression applies to weapons. A level 1 Bullet will deal only 10 damage, but a level 4 bullet will deal 32 damage! In addition, weapons go up to level 10! A level 10 Force Shot is quite the sight!
We've given care and attention to a lot of weapons that haven't been touched for a long time. We've tweaked each weapon to feel more fun and purposeful. There were a lot of weapons that felt same-y so we've pushed them to fulfil their purpose better. For example, Big Boom does a lot of push-back (and has a new shockwave effect!) but not a lot of damage, while TNT deals a lot of damage but not a lot of force.
We are making this game for YOU so we appreciate all the feedback and thoughts on the new balance levels! Head to the Official Boom Slingers Discord Server at discord.gg/boomslingers to tell us what you think about he update.
Happy Slinging!
