Button X’s ‘Aloof’ releases “Invite a Friend” update
Button X announces the launch the largest update to date of our puzzle battler Aloof — a truly unique and innovative multiplayer puzzle game available on Windows PC and Linux via Steam and Humble for $14.99.
The new update is called “Invite a Friend” and adds PVP play and the ability to invite your online friends and move freely with them between any of the game modes.
Aloof is a puzzle battler, similar to games like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Puyo Puyo Tetris, but plays completely different. In the world of Aloof you summon and defend small islands all the while building combos against your opponent.
New Features:
Invite an Online Friend
– Invite a friend into your game and play Aloof together online!
– You and your friend can freely move around between any game mode, like:
– Co-op Campaign
– Player versus Player
– Offline Adventure (versus AI)
Player versus Player
– 23 new levels!
– Levels are divided into easy, medium and hard
– Let the computer select a random easy, medium, hard or just any level
Other Features include:
It’s dangerous to go alone
– Full solo or co-op campaign with puzzle levels, matches versus AI, rescue missions and bosses! (offline)
– Beat the online adventure by defeating 3 opponents in a row, but lose and start all over (online 1v1 or 2v2).
– Or practice the online adventure against AI opponents, get familiar with the levels and tune your tactics (offline 1v1 or 2v2).
– Play against your friends in 1v1 or 2v2 matches (offline).
Your plan at your pace
– Move pieces left, right, down and up! Pieces don’t descend by themselves. Take your time to think, and move fast when you can!
– Not happy with the pieces in your field? Just flush them away by holding the flush button.
– You can switch between 2 fields. So you don’t need to mess up your amazing combo if something else needs to be done first.
– …and there’s no garbage from your opponent to deal with.
Keeping online alive
– Play the solo game while searching for an online match.
– Find opponents all over the world. The game is designed with a robust multiplayer code and can easily handle ping times of 600ms.
