The Progression Update

Sugar Overkill: Arena
A downloadable game for Windows

- Added Shrines: They typically are located in the center-bottom area of the levels. When bodies come close to the Shrine, it will destroy them and absorb their soul. With each souls, the shrine charges up its gem. It can upgrade from a regular common to an awesome legendary upgrade. When you pick up the upgrade, the shrine will enter in a cooldown state. Reason: It gives a player an extra way to get upgrades. It even offers hard choices like "Should I pick up a rare upgrade now so I won't die right away, or wait to get a legendary upgrade as soon as possible?". It also gives maps that "center" point where most of the intense moments are gonna happen. And if the player nails it, they get rewarded with big upgrades!


-Added Scrap Boxes:
Some have been placed in each levels. They're generally located at the arenas' outskirts. When you pick them up they give your gun a simple but useful upgrade. Once you've received it, the Scrap Box will replenish itself over time.
Reason: They reward the player for actually moving around instead of camping. They provide early upgrades that help the player survive the earlier stages of the arenas. 

- Added Boots:
They are pretty much the same thing as the Scrap Boxes, but instead they change your character's mobility. They're less common than the Scrap Boxes but can also be found in the arenas.
Reason: They also reward you for moving around but by granting you more mobility.

-Reworked the first two levels:
Level 1 and 2 have been totally remade. They're now much bigger, with a "centered" level design.
Reason: With the changes brought up here, the maps were just outdated. They now are designed around the new upgrade looting mechanics.


3) NEW CONTENT:
Two armors have been added into the game.

In there, the player will be able to choose one of three exotic cocktails which will give a special boost to the player during the next fight, according to which one they picked. There also will be strangers to meet and talk to... maybe make some deal.

As the game is in the middle of a big change, we temporarily took down the download links. 
All of this and much more will be available in the next patch that we're working on releasing as soon as possible!
