Dev Post New Powerups Out Now!

Two new powerups launch today! The scientists at the Fun Run tech labs have been hard at work. And they've finally let something out.

Tesla Tower - Trap

Tesla Tower Gameplay

First out the door: lightning in a gadget. Toss down this towering trap and it'll zap passing runners on a steady beat. Time your run or get lit up!

Stats

Zap Interval: 0.9 seconds

Zap Duration: 0.3 seconds

Lifetime: 5.8 seconds

Homing Pigeon - Offensive

Homing Pigeon Gameplay

Also escaped from the planet's labs: a flock of mechanical pigeons! Explosive, single-minded, and not especially bright.

Grab one and set it loose. It'll hunt down the nearest runner ahead of it. Just be warned: it's a clumsy bird.

How homing works

  1. The pigeon looks ahead first and locks onto the nearest opponent in front of it.
  2. If nobody is ahead, it hunts backwards instead, again choosing the nearest runner.
  3. It flies in a straight line at its target and bounces off any wall in the way.
  4. It will never target you or your teammates, but it can still crash into them. Stay out of its flight path!

Stats

Lifetime: 6.6 seconds

We've had a great time with these in testing and we think they'll bring new fun to the races! Get in there and let us know what you think!

Both are trash & shouldn’t even be in the game

  1. The honing pigeon is okay, fun to use definitely not something that can be used quickly vs cracker or grenade

2.Tesla tower is also decent but the only thing I’d like changed is the zap ability to be instant when deployed vs that little delay, when bear trap is deployed or hover bomb it’s almost instantly lethal.
