Survival Patch (Fall 2016)

[davidinunez]

We'd love to hear your feedback on these concepts. Want to create your own Survival powerup? Let's hear it and we may just include it in the patch!

Survival Patch - sometime Fall 2016

Level Up System:
We are going to allow players to level up. Leveling up will give you discounts on CAC parts, Survival items (see directly below) and bragging rights. There will never be any gameplay perks for leveling up!

Survival X Mode:
A longer, more in-depth Survival mode that will introduce the Jibbits and Omega Jibbots. More on that later.

Survival powerups:
Players will be able to increase reach higher Waves by purchasing powerups.

Here's how Survival Powerups works:
Before getting into a Survival (Cooperative or Single) event, each player will presented with the option to carry a single powerup. The single powerup will be something along these lines (feel free to add your own ideas for a chance for them to be included).

(Your success may all depend on the combination of the powerups you and your teammates take into battle.)

- Extra Life: You will drop an extra life into the life pool.
- E.M.P.: You will send out an E.M.P., destroying all Jibbots on-screen.
- Rain Dance: For 30 seconds, there will be twice as many Mystery Boxes dropped.
- Double-Damage: For 30 seconds, you will inflict double-damage.
- Beam Gift: You will spawn 4 Beam Arms (one for each of the 4 players).
- Weakness Policy: You turn everyone on-screen into the element that is weak to your currently-held element. (Cannot be picked up if you have no element.)

Hmmm... I'll get into some more multiplayer when the first competitive patch arrives and hopefully I can come up with some ideas.
