Owley’s Art Journey
Oh, and about that new area, “A Lot of Parking Lot” – we have some updated art to share with you today! Check out how the art of Invasion is first conceptualized in the game and updated to completion below:
The Behemoth chickalien visits Squawky’s Cameras for the first time.
The chickalien is back, happy to be in a world of colorful destruction once more. Wait, didn’t Squawky own this place?
THE CHICKALIEN REJOICES, AS OWLEY’S REACHES ITS FINAL FORM! Wait, does this place belong to that one owl we know from that one game? How curious…
On top of three new areas, some of the game’s older art is getting a facelift! Be sure to keep an eye out for the updated buildings, especially the new Meow Motors. Meeeow!
The ORBITER
Something we didn’t get a chance to show off in the prior stream is our new Orbiter mutation, so here’s a sneak peek in GIF form:
With every use, the Orbiter mutation spawns a projectile that circles you, knocking enemies out of your path and making you a close-range DESTROYER! Using it a second time will create a temporary platform at its current location, making the mutation a good choice for swarm and bonus levels.
The MECHA F.R.O.G. Arrives!
The last thing we wanted to touch on today is the new MECHA F.R.O.G., SPINDOCTOR OF FATE!
Invaders can soon encounter the MECHA F.R.O.G. as a mini-boss while traversing through city blocks! If you defeat the MECHA F.R.O.G., sources say you can use it as a vehicle… Will you be going on a MECH RAMPAGE?
That’s all for now! We’ll be live on YouTube and Twitch this Thursday, April 25th at 3:00 PM PDT for one last Invasion stream before the update goes live!
