Updates and Improvements
Much like elves at the North Pole, the Nitro Type team continues to improve Nitro Type in the workshop for all you racers out there! You're all on the "nice" list right? Let's see what's new presents are under the tree this season:
Shorter Races
The team wanted for all you racers to not have to type extra long text passages, to get back into the racing action quicker! With that in mind we have shortened the race length. This will increase the challenge... you'll have less words to catch up after all. Are you up for the challenge? You may also see some new race text in there... so don't get too comfortable.
1 Nitro Per Race
Veteran racers often had large stockpiles of nitros, making it trivial for them to use them during races... basically giving them 3 free word skips per race. Beginner racers struggled to overcome that head start and veterans had easier wins, letting them get even more nitros. That's not fun for anyone! So the team wanted to level the playing field for all players and make nitro use more strategic. Now all racers will get 1 nitro per race to use on those particularly tricky words. Use it wisely!
‘They spoke not a word, but went straight to the race, and emptied their gas tanks, and typed with much grace!
Remember, anything worth having is worth racing for, so race to the XMaxx and a happy jolly merry event to all our critters!
They sprint to the Rocket Sleigh, and speed off with a whistle; they’re off to the races, flying like missiles! We hear them exclaim, as they drive out of sight, happy XMaxx to all! We bid’em good luck! You’re exactly our type!
