Happy Halloween bowlers! Today we bring you the Scaredevil: Tricks and Treats update. Lets explore some of the big new additions…
A brand new arena, The Wheel Of Misfortune smash pins in this new multi-tiered arena fitted with jump pads and packed with brand new art.
3 New weapons!
The Rewinder 9000 a device that launches razor sharp record discs and recalls them again to slice through pins.
The Pincenartor, layout pools of lava to burn up your opposition!
The Big Up Drink, slurp up the greatest beverage this side of hell and turn into your true form; a giant bowling ball.
This update also brings with it a reset to the existing leaderboards, the new map has its own leaderboard for time attack and standard mode so there has never been a better time to try and claim a top spot!
If you had an incredible high score up there, fear not! The leaderboards from the previous update (and all leaderboards prior) are stored on Steam and we will be working on presenting these in game in the near future.
