Beta 0.1.0 is in testing
The latest beta of M.E.A.T. went out to testers on TestFlight today. It is an early, offline, single-player build for iPhone in landscape.
What is new in this build
- An opening upgrade. Every run now starts with a choice of three upgrades, before the clock does.
- Menus built for landscape. No page scrolls any more, and the guide explains every upgrade, yours and the Collector's.
- Markers for RAM you cannot see. Green bubbles at the edge of the screen point to chips off screen, with a count.
- A meaner Collector. He wakes up sooner and puts pressure on earlier.
- Countdown warnings. Under ten seconds the clock ticks, swells and glows.
- Vibration. Pickups, robberies, close calls and the catch each have their own tap. It can be turned off in Settings.
- No more motor hum. The steady tone under quiet stretches is gone.
What we are asking testers
Play several runs and tell us how the difficulty feels, whether the frame rate holds and whether your phone gets warm. Try the thumbstick on both sides, both landscape orientations, and coming back to the game after switching apps.
If you want in, write to mail@zerone.gg and we will send an invite.
