EXPLOSIVE CHASERS – Pre-Alpha 现已推出！

The Pre-Alpha version was released today, October 8, 2026.

I decided to change the naming of the versions because I’m slowly starting to take this project more seriously. And trust me, you’re going to see some big changes in the upcoming updates.

But let's forget about the future updates for now.

For the moment, just enjoy this version while I take a little break and recover from all this development. 😊

Let's Get to the Changes!

I think it's time to get to the main topic: what's new in this version?

As usual, whenever I start working on a new version, I first go through the feedback and opinions people shared about the previous version.

I then do my best to improve and optimize the new version based on the criticism and feedback I received from the previous one.

Improved Car Controls

The first thing that received criticism in the previous version was the CarController.

In this version, I did my best to improve it.

I also put a lot of effort into making the cars easier and more enjoyable to control, which I would say is one of the most important aspects of a racing game.

However, I already have some plans for improving the car control system even further in the future. I'll talk more about those plans in future Devlogs.

Random Weapon Improvements

While watching videos from streamers, I noticed that some players were having trouble with the behavior of some of the Random Weapons.

For example, the Jet Engine could cause players to lose control of their cars in certain situations.

So, in this update, I improved the behavior of some of the weapons.

A New Gameplay Direction

The Pre-Alpha version also introduces a pretty major change to the gameplay.

Previously, hitting a police car, a building, or one of the trees in the environment could immediately result in a Game Over.

That's no longer the case.

Now, the game gives you a chance to survive longer.

Each car now has three Health points.

If you keep crashing into things during a run and lose all of your Health, your car will explode.

But don't worry just yet, because I've also added a new mechanic that can help you get back into the game.

Respawning & Lives

After your car explodes, you can now Respawn and get back into the game.

Of course, you need to have at least one Life available first.

So, how do you get Lives?

It's pretty simple.

You have to attack the police cars.

With what? Your bare hands?

Of course not! 😄

You can use offensive Random Weapons to attack the police cars and take them down.

This system deserves a little more explanation, so I'll talk more about it in a future Devlog.

Random Weather

But one of the coolest things I've added to the game in this new version is the Random Weather System.

This system helps prevent the arenas from becoming repetitive and gives you a different experience every time you restart a game in the same arena.

Here are a few examples of this feature:

Snowy

Rainy

Performance Improvements

As always, I've also worked on improving the game's performance on both Windows and Android.

The goal was to make the game run more smoothly and perform better than before.

A Better Feel for Destroying Police Cars

I also wanted destroying police cars to feel more satisfying for the player.

So, I've added a small flash effect to the offensive weapons.

Whenever you destroy a police car, a small flash appears on the screen.

It's a small detail, but it gives you a much better feeling when taking down enemies.

You can see the flash in the image below:

Thank You for the Feedback!

Finally, I want to thank everyone who has played EXPLOSIVE CHASERS and taken the time to share their feedback about the game.

Your feedback has had a huge impact on improving the game and will continue to play an important role in its future development.

Thank you so much for reading this Devlog!
