"Microchip" Update V.1.1


First official update, in this update we make extensive changes to how the game works.

Much of the code was newly created, giving a better base for future updates.

 Among the biggest changes are the initial and character selection menu in which several bugs were fixed, including the possibility of adding players in different order along with bots.

 A couple more colors were added to the character selection and room was left for a future update where each player will be able to select an item to further customize their robot.

 Regarding the gameplay itself, there were no big changes in relation to the players (the possibility of getting off of traversable platforms was added) but it's there were big changes in relation to how a match work - The 6 initial arenas were expanded to a total of 18 divided into zones (3 for each initial arena).

This means that at the beginning of a new round one of these 3 arenas is chosen randomly.

 Also a new win counter system will be shown between rounds and at the end of the fight the winner will be shown along with options to return to the menu, fight again or move on to the next area.

 Finally with this update we announce the release of this game also on Steam! At the moment you can enjoy this game for free and there are no plans to make it a paid game until we have a better game.


 The next big update will focus on adding a properly working options menu (currently the same as the previous version), new music and sxf, improvements to the quality of life in the gameplay and the item system to customize each player.
