Assault Android Cactus (PC/Steam)
Early Access Version 150115c (2015 Jan 15)

Daily Drive: Friday, January 16, 2015
Aubergine runs: 1P, 2P solo, 3P solo


So, Update 11 came out a few days ago, and the main addition to the game was a new game mode called Daily Drive! =)

Daily Drive is kind of like a procedurally-generated 10-Layer version of Infinity Drive, presented as a daily challenge that you can only play once... until the next day, when it becomes a new challenge that you can only play once... until the next day... etc.

Oh, and yes, everyone does get the same challenge each day (and there's even a daily leaderboard). If anybody's interested in seeing another version of the January 16th Daily, abatage actually posted one. I took a look at it yesterday, and from what I could tell, the Daily looked pretty much the same as what I encountered on that day. Anyway, I'll leave a link to the abatage video near the bottom of this description, for anybody who's interested (abatage used Holly, and also completed the Daily).


Interestingly, the 1P, 2P, 3P, and 4P versions of Daily Drive are separately generated... which means technically you actually get four unique challenges each day, instead of just one! =) I haven't managed to complete a 4P solo Daily yet... but I did manage to complete the January 16th 1P, 2P, and 3P Dailies. I've uploaded all three in this video, so you can see just how different they are from each other (despite being from the same day, they're actually very different)!

Oh, and if you're wondering why I move the other characters at the beginning of the level, it's because unlike some other parts of the arena, the center won't transform while a character is in that region, so if a character you're not using gets knocked down and is lying in that center area, that could actually prevent Daily Drive from proceding to the next Layer... even if you defeat every available enemy! (This actually happened to me on the very first day (January 15th)... =p)

Anyway, here are my 1P, 2P solo, and 3P solo runs of the January 16th (2015) AAC Daily Drives! Hope you enjoy!
