New Update for Saturday Morning RPG! Version 1.01
Saturday Morning RPG has been updated as of 5/8/2012. This update addresses a lot of issues that we noticed people have such as too much tapping, not being able to resume from VHS tapes and the difficulty of certain battles.
The update also introduces some new game mechanics:
Enemy Movement and Sneak Attacks
Certain enemies will now walk around in the overworld. If you can sneak up behind these enemies to initiate a battle, this is a Sneak Attack. Sneak Attacks give you an advantage in battle – your multiplier will start at 3.0.
New Ways to Charge
Now when selecting the battery option there are 3 different types of charges to select from:
The Classic Battery, which works the same as before the update – it involves rapid tapping to build up the multiplier.
The Quick Charge Battery, which requires no interaction at all, but does not have the potential to charge as much as the other charges.
The Gauge Charge, which involves tapping through four gauges to charge. Each gauge is a red meter that wavers back and forth – tap when the gauge is close to full for the best multiplier boost.
The follow is a summary list of changes:
- Added the ability to resume episodes from tapes (you will have to option to resume or restart)
