Your Next-Generation Companions: The Baby Drone Update

[h3]Greetings, all Visicons![/h3]



Continuing on expanding the foundations of Roboom, this update brings color and life to the previous Baby Drone powerup. Baby Drones are now much more than that: You can adopt and raise them in the battle against Oblivion!

[h2] Here's a summary of everything new in Roboom (Version 0.4.8):[/h2]

    [h3]
  • New Baby Drones[/h3]

    Choose a Baby Drone from 5 different Visicon classes! All with different abilities, from healing to slash&dashing and more, assemble a cast of companions who will make you much more powerful against the forces of Oblivion!

    You can change the order in which they will appear according to your strategy:

    [h3]
  • Baby Drone Adoption and Leveling[/h3]

  • Baby Drone Achievement[/h3]



[h2]⤴️Improvements:[/h2]

    [h3]
  • Pre-Release Leaderboard as an Option[/h3]


    Many players have earned incredibly high scores since the change of the score system to an oblitropy-based maximum score from endless-runs, and the leaderboard now displays these scores as the default alltime scores. And of course, the previous scores achieved by players before the changes are visible when the "Show Pre-Release Scores" option is toggled.


    [h3]
  • New Powerup Icon for Baby Drones[/h3]
    The description will also show the name of your Baby Drones!


  • Baby Drones now follow you faster, remaining within your field of sight.
  • Players who have adopted Baby Drones will see the powerup much more frequently when they can get it.

[h2]🛠️Fixes:[/h2]
  • General performance improvements, especially regarding post level 30 enemies.
  • Fixed some letters to render better as they should be in the leaderboard.


In addition to all these, many things are on the way, first and foremost Co-op, expansions to many powerups, and the Twitch Extension!
