In Slaps And Beans 2 the combat system and its progression will be enhanced and improved. This will be done through the use of new environmental interactions (especially with Terence), improved combos to create single or co-operative attacks, and the addition of new power-ups. Here are a few examples: [previewyoutube=3VNAJlbi1Zg;full][/previewyoutube] Improved Terence's dodging ability. When Terence dodges a hit near a wall or obstacle the enemy will be confused and vulnerable. [previewyoutube=wsURVfHSEXA;full][/previewyoutube] Terence will be able to use his speed to "lock" hordes of enemies and lead them towards Bud or a trap. [previewyoutube=Nk4gPIS_VEs;full][/previewyoutube] New power-ups will temporarily increase players' abilities and certain gameplay parameters (strength, speed, damage resistance, time running speed, etc.).

Today, ‘Bud Spencer & Terence Hill – Slaps and Beans’ comes out to slap from the Early Access!
