What is Techsmith+ ?

Once you have purchased all upgrades in the Techsmith, you will unlock Techsmith+. This reveals a new collection of upgrades to purchase for your gyrocopter. The feature has been fully implemented, and we are looking for players to test it to ensure everything is working as expected before rolling it out on the main branch.

How can I get access to it right now?

The update containing Techsmith+ is live on the experimental branch. See instructions on how to access it below. Please note that using the experimental branch means your save file is at risk.

Switching to the experimental branch

Go to your library Right click the game and select Properties... Select Betas Select experimental in the Beta Participation dropdown Close the window Wait for the update Launch the game If you have any issues or feedback, please let us know!

Techsmith+

8BitSkullsteam_community_announcements

569d ago

We are considering a new feature and would love to hear your thoughts. In order to extend the game's progression past the main story and once all upgrades have been purchased, we would like to add something called "Techsmith+". This would automatically unlock once all upgrades in the regular Techsmith have been purchased. A new set of upgrades would be presented. Current list is:

Core ideas:

Even more damage
Upgrade that grants chance to spawn hull repair blocks
Upgrade that grants chance to spawn temporary invincibility blocks
Upgrade that grants chance to spawn temporary movement boost blocks
Upgrade that grants chance to spawn enemy splash damage blocks (damages all enemies in large radius)

Potential upgrades (with question marks):

Even more fire rate (fire rate is a key driver of performance issues though..! Perhaps just a few expensive ticks?)
Even more fuel (again, longer runs = higher chance of poor performance. Could make the fuel increase marginal compared to the standard fuel tank?)

Any feedback is welcome, but would love to hear your thoughts on these proposed upgrades and if there are any other types of upgrades you would like to see. Thanks!

Any that you have not encountered yet will be greyed out, meaning you can use the Discovery Log to hunt for 100% game completion (which requires completing all levels + discovering all blocks/biomes/enemies).
