RODINA 1.6.4: PLAYER STATS AND POWER SYSTEMS!

For this update, I have added Player Stat Upgrades and Power Systems to the game! Mix and match upgrades in your installation grid to increase your character’s speed, health regeneration, damage, and jump level! These upgrades require a Power Core to function – find the first one in the Asteroid Belt! These Power Cores also provide energy to the Carrier Beam and the Trilaser.

This update also adds two new moves – the Slide Attack and the Ground Pound – each available as their own upgrade chips!

For the next update, I am going to add an interesting new feature to the game: a drill! This item will be used to acquire resources for armor… but where will these resources come from???

Thank you so much for playing!

———

Rodina is in ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT! That means that you WILL see issues- funny behavior, crashes, poor performance on some machines, etc.

If you have any trouble with the game, please email me, particularly if you have bought the game and are not able to play it. I will give your money back with no questions asked if you aren’t 100% satisfied with your purchase (although, those who don’t try the demo first will have to put up with some scolding!)
