Today I am announcing Horde mode (BETA).
Horde mode is a co-op experience inside UPG, supporting up-to 4 players in a lobby.
Punch your way through waves of zombies and see how long you can last together!
Enemies drop power ups and health to keep your run going as long as you can manage.
Use One Punch and Invincibility power ups efficiently, they have a chance to drop from defeated enemies!
Punch Composure (The stamina bar) is absent from this mode so you can helicopter fist your way through as much as you wish.
As part of the Multiplayer BETA I am experimenting with different game modes that I think lends well to the mechanics of the game, Horde mode is the first version of this and some of the game modes may ultimately be removed. That said, Horde Mode is definitively a permanent multiplayer mode and I am looking forward to making updates and bring more depth to the mode in the future.
Thanks for playing UPG and have fun!
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Versus / multiplayer:
- Fixed the Escape Menu not working in Multiplayer.
- Handled some multiplayer issues when leaving/exiting the game during matches.
Menus:
- Cleaned up the menu UI to make it more consistent with the rest of the game, removed some early prototype UI.
- Adjusted the grid layout for character icons in multiplayer to allow for more character unlocks in the future and prevent overlap with the new horde Lobby UI.
