Starting with Tri6: Infinite 0.4.0 all powerups now are available also in singleplayer. They don’t make that much sense there yet, but will become useful as soon as we add some obstacles that need to be destroyed or you to be protected.
Highlights
The new alpha version is available via our Discord. With this update now all powerups can be used in singleplayer.
Powerups
Well, as mentioned before, all powerups now can be used in singleplayer. This includes e.g. the Missile, Bouncing Ball and Mine powerup. They don’t make sense there yet as there is nothing to shoot on, but this will change in a future update. For now they are in there so everybody can easily test their basic functionality.
So far it seems like all powerups are working properly except the Shock Wave. And Bouncing Balls behave a little weird as they can bounce into the air and also leave the map. If you want to see something funny try Shock Wave in this version, it will hopefully be fixed with the next update.
What’s next?
The next update will get more improvements on the gameplay and graphics side. Besides that some work has to be done to add the stuff you can defeat with your powerups. The technical base for this will at least be started for the next update.
The work on the first ingame graphics might also start in the next weeks, but this will take a while and so be not part of the next update. Probably in November or December if nothing unforseen happens.
