Hand Almighty · published
So far, there is no sense of progression between runs in Hand Almighty. In the long-term, I want the various upgrades, power-ups, levels, Hands, and other items to be unlocked over time. I didn't want a generic XP system to unlock items - I wanted progression to be based on challenges that encourage you to play the game in fun or silly ways.
This update introduces a page where you can see a list of challenges. These have varying difficulties, ranging from Common to Mythic (there's only one Mythic challenge and it is possible, albeit ridiculous). Some challenges have multiple tiers.When you complete a challenge tier in-game, a little popup will appear telling you what you achieved.More challenges (and unlockable items connected to them) are on their way. For now, these are the initial challenges:- Challenge: kill X enemies- Challenge: beat Castle with X medal- Challenge: earn X gold- Challenge: earn X gold in a single non-boss wave- Challenge: push X enemies off the level- Challenge: push X enemies off the level in a single non-boss wave- Challenge: kill X Gold Gobblers before the end of the wave- Challenge: kill X enemies with Screamer explosions- Challenge: destroy X Spitter darts- Challenge: kill X enemies with Spitter darts- Challenge: kill X Dart Spitters with their own darts- Challenge: kill X Mole Men before they leave their molehill- Challenge: kill X red-shielded enemies simultaneously- Challenge: kill multiple Panthers with the same attack X times- Challenge: beat a wave without attacking or taking damage- Challenge: level up an upgrade to Level X- Challenges: collect X of each type of power-up- Challenge: complete a run with X cursed upgrades- Challenges: complete a run with each of the cursed upgradesHopefully, this will be a step towards improving Hand Almighty's replayability. Let me know if you find any bugs in the challenges and if you have any cool ideas for new ones.Cheers!James
