Hey everyone we just released a new version of StressOut. This update brings new game mode, completely reimagined to fit our initial vision better - build the most chaotic relaxing experience that you can replay multiple times and is always somewhat different and always fun.
Arcade mode
Get through 39 procedurally generated levels, farm the gold and unlock powerful upgrades. We built a brand new upgrade system that sets the foundation for future expansion - more spells, more variety, more destruction.
Win RewardsCan you beat the developers? Look for
Shavorich and
Otiv on leaderboards. Get to top of leaderboards to win a free VR game. Join

Score is simply calculated by looking at how much time you have left in the last room times 10. So if you have 320.1s on the clock when you finish the run, you will get 3201 points.
Procedural levels
A completely new system has been built from the ground up to allow us to generate all kinds of levels.
Currently there are only a few archetype levels:
- Shop - indoor small scale destruction
- Warehouse - Medium sized chaos
- Outdoors - Full scale destruction
- Ceramics - Juicy and full of cash for upgrades
Each of these archetype levels has tons of configurations that can spawn during arcade mode. There are even more configurations as you purchase special unlockable sections. Anyways there is a ton and it’s just going to get better.
What’s coming?
We feel like arcade mode is currently in really early stages of its development so we are planning to extend it with new super powers and greater variety of levels. This should come relatively soon.
We are also thinking of building systems for community such as daily challenges, different variants of arcade mode (melee only anyone?)… Let us know what you would like.
Asymmetric multiplayer we have an early version of asymmetric multiplayer (a mode where 1 player plays on flat screen and 1 in VR) version in the works and are looking for some testers. Let us know if you want to help.
