Today’s bi-weekly update for the cel-shaded shooter offers a new level, the long-awaited ability to “rocket jump” without consequences, and a new boss, among several other goodies included within the “Fall Into Darkness” update for Wrack.

Every other Tuesday, Final Boss Entertainment releases a themed update for their classically-inspired FPS, Wrack; “Get Your Mod On!” was released two weeks ago (Jan. 20), and brought full Steam Workshop support to the title, along with an internal mod-browser and new sound effects and animations. “Fall Into Darkness” brings a new extra level into Episode 1- “E1L6”- complete with a prototype build of “Giggordo”, E1L6’s boss character. Also included within E1L6 is a new Artifact, the “Blast Guard”, which allows the player to rocket-jump with significantly nullified damage.

Outside of new content for players to horse-around with, “Fall Into Darkness” includes fixes for several bugs; the complete log is as follows, courtesy of Final Boss Entertainment:

Added a new level: E1L6′! This is the extra level for episode 1, and is accessed from E1L6 through a secret exit.

Added the Blast Guard! This is an artifact that makes rocket jumping much more viable. It is found on E1L6′.

Added a prototype of Giggordo, the E1L6′ boss! No model or animation just yet, but the gameplay is there.

Added and reworked many of the E1L6 textures! They’re now much more crisp and colorful.

Added some new trooper melee sounds.

Made some texturing and lighting tweaks to E1L6.

Updated the title sequence, along with the title screen.

Added several new items to the gallery.

Added the new QuakeAttack() AI script command, which works similarly to RadiusAttack(), but only affects objects on the ground.

Added several new sentry-related AI script commands.

Fixed a bug that prevented the “Restart” command from working properly in Time Attack/Score Attack mode.

Fixed a bug that would result in certain face actions being activated upon restoring a quicksave.

Fixed some aspect ratio issues when displaying a few images that take up the whole screen.

Fixed a bug that prevented the map convert tool from converting multiple maps at once.

Wrack is currently available for purchase through the official website, Steam (recommended version), Desura and GamersGate. A PC exclusive, Wrack is a cel-shaded arcade-FPS that draws influence from the “classic” age of PC and console shooters; Wrack features an original story, competitive “Time” and “Score Attack” modes, along with the ability to create and share custom levels through level-creation system “WrackEd”.
