Pick and Jump Right In: Lobby Makeover

In the 0.7 series, the lobby got a makeover and the Pick a Battlefield screen arrived, letting you choose a mode to jump into. Also meet the Endless results screen and a new event, Hibernating Colony Emergence.

A fresh look for the lobby

The lobby has been redone as a space where your cell hangs out. Your profile sits at the top left, currency and settings at the top right, and the menus are gathered in a single row along the bottom of the screen.

Pick a Battlefield

Press "Enter Battle" to choose a mode while viewing each one's features and your records. You can also create or join a custom room right there. The lineup now includes Endless, Battle Royale, Arena, Hive Break and Custom.

Endless results screen

When you've used up all your respawns or give up, it sums up your survival time, level, kills, XP earned and the special cells you collected this match. Beat a record to get a NEW RECORD! badge, then show it off or try again right away.

Hibernating Colony Emergence

Hibernating colonies surface across the Endless battlefield. Stay inside one for a moment to wake its sleeping cells, and several basic cells or a special cell join your swarm. You can't attack while waking them, and if you step away, another player can steal them.

What changed in v0.7.0

New

  • New lobby: a new animated title logo appears, and two cell swarms clash in the background. The menus are gathered in a single row along the bottom of the screen
  • Pick a Battlefield: press "Enter Battle" to choose from Endless, Battle Royale, Hive Break and Custom. Each mode shows a description and your records, and you can create or join a custom room right there

Improvements

  • The custom room screen has a new look. Copy and share the room code, and see the game mode and player list all on one screen
  • On phones and tablets, the lobby, Pick a Battlefield and custom room screens now fit both landscape and portrait nicely
  • Each cell now has a slightly different movement speed and following distance, so your swarm moves more naturally instead of clumping together
