Duel Otters version 2.0 is the biggest update ever released in November 2019, in fact it is an entire game reworked from the ground up since the game's introduction back in 2014.
I have been through life that prevents me from fully committing to the game, I hope it worth the wait. My original objective still stays true : I want to make a really solid household 2-player party game. Everything in this new version solidify that vision for the future to come.
All scenes, all mini-games. I made the entire game again from the start following old trails but with a revised architecture. The old version was built with too many old technologies and that prevents me to maintain and add more contents. I decided I don't want to work on top of my old mess anymore for the better future of Duel Otters. I have fixed all my previous mistakes, absolutely no legacy code was left behind anymore. Along with this rework, I added many groundworks and backbones that all required a walkthrough of the entire game (explained next!). It wasn't a simple upgrade so this is why it took so long for this version. Here are improvements thanks to this :
Massively improved device compatibility
Here's what it was previously..
Character switch for all game modes
You can now switch characters for ALL games. Finally the lower side could play as the green otter! No more arguing with your girlfriend/boyfriend!
Chilli collectible item added
Now you automatically gain "Chilli" every time you play the game (Even in Two Players Mode). It could be used to unlock additional contents later. Amount of Chilli gained may partly relative to your performance, but generally you always get a bit of them no matter what you do.
Two new games added : Fruits and Warship
It's been ages since the last expansion game Pulley and Pinball added. Fruits is a very simple (you basically just touch the fruit) but high skill ceiling game once played with an other human. Warship is Duel Otter's first 3D game, and while it looks like a cannon-spamming game at first it contains a layer of strategy and mind games. Please try them!
New play style "Arcade Mode" added
This is a mode where you will see a different version of games that's now suitable for single player, score attacking style play. Therefore you could enjoy it even if your friend is not here to play two-player with you yet. There is a local scoreboard, so you can borrow your friend's device and put your name in his device to irritate him. In the future, an online scoreboard is planned which connects both iOS and Android players together.
Others
Full 6 months of my life spent for this update are dedicated to you. Thank you, everyone. Enjoy the game!
