Damnatio Games have released the Spring Update for their Early Access 2D 4v4 multiplayer shooter, Heat and Run. Now available on Steam, this update adds a ping location system and several significant bug fixes.
The Heat and Run Spring Update delivers handful of new features. In the TAB scoreboard, damage to opponents is now visible. Damage to the Opponent Flame is also visible in the TAB scoreboard.
Allies can now better communicate using the ping location system. This is done using the C key.
In the initial stages of Heat and Run‘s Early Access the developer planned to focus on technical issues. The Spring Update became the perfect place to drop in several bug fixes and some quality of life improvements. For example Target’s visual has been improved and Arson’s arm now has a visual when his ability is activated. Paran’s Dash is now invisible in hideouts.
Some of the score data displayed in TAB has been corrected. Music and sound bugs related to the selection menu and winning have been solved. Moving the lobby with the mouse cursor should now be easier. Incorrect displays in the Teams menu have been corrected.
A more complete list of changes and fixes in the Heat and Run Spring Update is available on Steam in this post.
