A new version of That's Nuts! is now available for download on all supported platforms. The update includes the new game mode that we announced earlier in the month, as well as a handful of minor bug fixes.
And just like that, Scavenger Mode is live! It introduces several new mechanics that build on top of the original That's Nuts game, which we're now calling Endless Mode. When selecting Play from the main menu, you'll be able to choose which game mode you want to play.
The main feature of Scavenger mode is the introduction of a Coin power-up, and the ability to spend coins at a shop to improve your run. Coins spawn randomly during game-play and can be collected by hitting them with a nut, just like other power-ups. The upgrade shop will appear every 90 seconds, and sells three upgrades chosen at random. Upgrades have three rarities -- common, uncommon and rare -- which affect how likely they are to appear in the shop. If you have extra coins you can re-roll the cards in the shop to see a different set of upgrades.
The shop is operated by a shifty raccoon named Scooter, who's happy to sell you whatever junk he's found around the neighborhood. At the start of a new game, Scooter will let you choose one free starting upgrade. The starting upgrade pool can't be re-rolled, but will always consist of uncommon and rare upgrades.
Scores and stats for the new game mode are tracked separately. This also applies to the global leaderboards, and the platform-specific leaderboards on Steam, Android and iOS.
We hope you enjoy playing Scavenger Mode, and as always check out the release notes for the full list of changes.
We'd also like to give a special thanks to our testers Kidult, Sha_pipi, and Toastyoven for the time they spent trying the new game mode!
