Anki Drive, the robotic slotless race cars that allow you to control their defensive and offensive actions via an iOS app, has updated said app to add new upgrades and weapons.
From the Anki Drive Blog:
Now there are up to 20 different upgrades with which you can customize your car over time with this update. We also added some cool new weapons and support items. No matter what you choose in the app, the car will embody that on the track…
The new features include:
- Reverse Drive. Now you can do a 180 turn and quickly change directions on the track – perfect for quickly getting behind someone so you can fire your weapon and take them out.
- Kinetic Brake. Come to a dead stop on the track by engaging your emergency brake, and watch the car behind you fly by.
- EMP. The electromagnetic pulse. Have you seen Ocean’s 11? It’s like that. You’ll damage all opponents nearby as you whiz past.
- Horn. You can force people out of your way by holding down the horn. The sound is cool, but the effects are even better.
Everything That’s New in Version 2.1.0 of the Anki Drive App:
- EXPANDED UPGRADE SYSTEMS – Enter the Garage and customize the new Combat, Chassis, Engine, and Energy Systems. Choose your path, buy & sell upgrades, and level up!
- NEW WEAPONS AND SUPPORT ITEMS – Arm yourself with the all new EMP, Reverse Drive, Horn, and Kinetic Brake. Remember: swipe left & right on the triggers during gameplay to switch weapons.
