New superpower: Reverse!

[darabos]

The "curve" switches directions. I think it can be useful with some planning and it should be surprising enough. I can playtest it tomorrow. :smile:

Thanks for this game, it's awesome! I really like the modular superpower system and have a few ideas. Are you generally open for more superpowers?

I forgot to report back from the playtest! I'm as biased as it gets, but it worked great! I like how many uses it has.

• It is a good general "save me!" button that gets you out of any deadly situation.
• If you get in a spiraling match you can surprise your opponent by reversing after having used up all the space in your domain.
• It's a nasty offensive weapon too. Opponents are not careful when crossing behind starting points of curves. I've more than once suddenly reversed right into the path of my friends. They hate me now. 😸

Even so, it didn't feel overpowered compared to the other superpowers. I didn't win.

@darabos I have not tested it yet, but to come back to your question: Yes I am very open for more superpowers =)

I am glad you like the superpower system, I also enjoyed writing superpowers because it seems to be quite easy to add a wide range of different superpowers with this framework. I have myself a little todo list with things I would like to add (e.g. sound, supporting webGL, a bot, general refactoring) whenever I find the time to do so.
