SS 1.8 Patch Note (Spring Cleaning Update!)

Spring has arrived! We did a massive Spring cleaning on Speedway Survival, making it look better than ever! This is the biggest patch ever, so please tune in to try out all the new mechanics of the game!

Language Update

你好! Cześć! Olá! Bonjour! Hallo!
-5 new languages added! (Traditional Chinese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German)
We wanted to reach out to an even bigger audience. We highly thank people playing our game all over the world! Including the requested Polish language, we have added the languages from the most common countries that our game is played in.

Mechanic Update

-New monster added!
Meet Slither, an augmented snake that has blades attached to its tongue. It moves really slowly in one direction, but is the first invincible monster! So watch out before running away from other monsters!

-Battery charge time 1.0 seconds -> 2.0 seconds!
Battery time has now increased! We noticed once people run out of charge, there were not a lot of options for players to fight back in harder levels. Saving up batteries now has a bigger return as it will charge double the amount than before.

-CawCaw (Crow) ability adjusted.
Many players have died and hated CawCaw who can instantly chase you down and kill you. This felt unfair, so we changed its abilities to fly in a straight line on the map rather than chase Sola.

-Kill count increased for other monsters
To reduce the time spent in harder levels on both story mode and endless mode, we increased the kill count for stronger enemies.

Killing these mobs will increase the following amount for the kill count:
Alby (Squirrel) -> 2
CawCaw (Crow) -> 5
Ravage (Raccoon) -> 3

Story Mode Update

-Number of levels 15->30!
We doubled the number of levels! Players can now go inside the UT Tower with stacks of bookshelves blocking their path to other lamps. What is Luna doing all the way up inside the tower??

-New Level dialogues
Following the increase in levels, new dialogues have been added for them. Find out more about Speedway as Sola talks with other characters!

-Objective label added.
Objectives now appear in a big text at the start of the level. Players will now easily understand what they have to do for every level. More objectives will be added in the future..!

-New characters added!
Along with a new enemy, we introduce you to two new allies!
Terry, the Ghost Librarian, has returned from the dead after the blood moon awakened. He has studied shadow monsters when he was still alive.
Shorthorn, the Rejected Mascot, is trying to fight his way through monsters just like Sola. He has a special gift that he prepared for a great warrior.
You will encounter Terry on Level 5, along with Shorthorn on Level 25. Betzel’s encounter has now been moved to Level 15.

-Skip Button Added.
Considering the relatively long dialogue between Sola and the new characters, we added a skip button so that players can skip the dialogue to jump right into action.

-Monster Log added
Terry will give you a Monster Log that will keep track of all the monsters you encounter. Not only that, but you can check its abilities and stat, so that you can strategize whenever you encounter them!
(UI will be properly updated in the next patch)

-Sun Pendant added
Shorthorn will give you the sun pendant, a very helpful item that will revive you once after you lose all your health! When you revive, you will gain max health and charge, so get ready to fight back! This item will help you beat Story Mode much easily, but you also have the option to unequip it if you like to challenge yourself.

Endless Update

-Endless Mob Spawn Time Shortened for every round.
Mobs will now spawn faster every round. We hope this makes Endless Mode more challenging for players.

Previous: 0.1 second faster every round
Current: 0.2 second faster every round

-Endless Fade Effect Changed.
The fade to black transition is now faster so players don’t have to wait too long to select their bagel.

Visual Update

-Title screen
The logo of KSI Games will now appear whenever you turn on the game!

-Mob visible order changed.
Mobs will now appear on top of other obstacles, so players will not be confused of the monster’s position.

Bug Fixes

-Small translation errors have been fixed for other languages.
-Sola speed will now increase properly after obtaining the Everything Bagel.
-Returning to the Title Screen while playing Endless Mode will no longer freeze the monsters.
-Wall boundaries have been fixed for level 2,3,4 and 5.

If you haven’t grabbed Speedway Survival, please grab it while it is on sale! Along with the game’s localized name for the new 5 countries, we will return with a smaller patch that will add more fun things to do!

Thank you, and beware of the Speedway ~oOo~
