I have awesome news! We are putting the finishing touches on some big DLC for ChainStaff.
It's called the "ChainStaff Time Trials". Fifty super-fast challenge levels complete with online leaderboards.
In the main game, you get 10 HUGE levels to take your time to explore.
I thought a great complement to this action would be a set of challenge levels.
Personally I loved the old game "Bionic Commando Rearmed" on the Xbox 360 (the sequel kinda stunk, don't get me started). In Bionic Commando Rearmed you got the single-player campaign to take your time to explore, get upgrades, and complete the story. But along the way you also unlocked dozens of really tricky challenge levels. And what I liked about those levels is how they each were a tiny gameplay challenge. Each level had a focus on how to do a new, tricky swing or platforming move.
And I'm doing something similar here! Each of the 50 levels in the Time Trials focuses on a bit of gameplay using the ChainStaff and platforming. Every level is designed by my hand, and is unlocked from the start so you can pick and play as you like. Get ready to zip and swing like never before! It's all about speed and flow in the DLC.
The levels all have Bronze, Silver, and Gold medal ratings for how fast you can complete them. The Bronze are very doable (easy mode) for most players, so don't be scared away by the difficulty. Once you get your head around the levels though, the Gold medal times will take some effort to reach. And you'll be blown away when you start figuring out tiny tricks to shave 1, 2 or even 5 seconds off what you thought was your best time!
Each time you get a new "best time" your score is uploaded to the global leaderboards. Did you already get Gold on a level? There is no "S rank" in levels...my idea is you all get to prove on the leaderboards how fast you can complete some levels--and to show off your own "S rank" time.
So that's the Time Trials!
There's loads of new, interesting, environmental hazards, and lots of ways to figure out new, even better paths to fly through these levels. They are super short, super easy to retry--and all hand-made. Make sure to check out the reveal trailer, and to wishlist it on Steam!
This DLC is coming out soon on Steam and then on consoles.
