Plus a new stage and some QOL changes.
In a game where every super one-shots you, a character's super is often their most defining attribute --- defining their game plan and single-handedly determine their place in the meta.
Allowing you to choose between different supers should alleviate the balance issues of overly-situational supers, while still keeping the gameplay super-focused.
Now when you select your character, you'll be presented with a new panel, allowing you to pick between multiple super options:
PLEASE NOTE: We're going to be adding additional supers on a "when/if we feel like it basis." Not all characters will be getting additional supers. Some, like JFK, will always have only one super.
As for this update, we've got two new supers coming your way that we're pretty excited about.
Teddy Roosevelt's signature domestic policy makes it's way to Electoral Carnage in the form of the world's largest stick. The more you mash the bigger it gets!
Washington's new super is our take on a Smash Bros style "drop a bunch of hitboxes on the screen and see what sticks" super. Washington will call on his troops for a volley of deadly explosives, that the opponent will have to dodge.
Gameplay continues while this super is active, meaning Washington is free to attempt to stun or knock his opponent back into the hitbox. If the initial volley misses, additional bombardments will fall on the battlefield until Washington is hit.
We've added a fourth stage to the mix, featuring an all new music! This new battlefield brings you to a mysterious bunker hidden beneath the once thriving metropolis of Panama City. Home to illegal experiments, strange machines, and world dominating technology, it represents the next step in the ongoing story of Electoral Carnage (the two people who care about the character descriptions I've been writing are gonna have a field day with this one).
Who would create such an imposing base? You'll find out in the next update!
The art for characters 7, 8, and 9 are already completed, all we have to do is get them coded and shipped out. Expect these updates to be faster than usual. I'm excited for you guys to see what we've been cooking up. In the meantime, don't forget to join the Discord to chat with us, get access to beta builds, and find people to play with. The support we've been getting on the game the last month has been nothing short of inspirational. Thanks to everyone following the project, and I promise we're doing everything we can to bring even crazier ideas to you in the near future. Thanks for your support, and God Bless America.
