Handball Challenge Training Camp Vol. 2
In Handball Challenge Training Camp Vol. 2 you are able to show your skills not only in the already known mini-games such as „Fast Break“, „1-vs-1“ and „Hotspot Shootout“, but also in the new game „7-Meter-Shootout“. We also introduce the new gym “Crystal Palace” to you, available for the training-mode. You can already try the lob there, our new shot-option, for sure an important part of our current mini-game. We also added some new items to the shop and from now on you can also see your high-score for each mini-game level in the training menu.
New skill-menu:
From now on you need to reach a certain amount of XPs in order to get ten now skill points. The amount will be displayed below your XPs. Once you get there you will get the ten skill points, which you can then use to improve your various skills. The average of your skills will be displayed there as well. Please pay attention: already used skill-points can’t be moved between the different skills anymore, so be smart using them.
New shirt comes with registration:
All new and already registered users will get a free Handball Challenge in-game shirt to their locker with the first update.
New jersey of Filip Jicha:
Next to the THW Kiel-jersey of Dominik Klein you can now also buy the jersey of Filip Jicha or use your credit points to acquire it.
Fun-shirts:
Until now all training-shirts had a quite neutral design. Update 1 of HCTC Vol. 2 offers you four different fun-shirts. We have a smiley-, camouflage-, sexy style- and burning ball-shirt for you.
7m-Shootout:
The new mini-game gives you the opportunity to re-live the situation of a real 7m-shootout. Champions League-winner Filip Jicha (THW Kiel) presents the game to you. In a small video he shows you as a virtual character how you can score. In the game you will find three different levels with increasing difficulty. You can see the difficulty with the different keepers. In the first level you will have to try your luck against our Neutron Games-goalie, while Bundesliga-keepers Mario Kelentric (MT Melsungen) and Goran Stojanovic (VfL Gummersbach) are waiting for you in the levels two and three. You got ten respectively twenty shots with a time of seven seconds each (usually it’s three seconds, but in our game that wouldn’t be enough). Just like in the real game you can fake a shot and also lunge into both directions. The optimized shot-indicator is new, allowing you to see how strong you shoot and how big the variation is. If your time ain’t enough to unlock all three levels you can also buy all mini-games in the shop.
The lob:
In HCTC Vol. 1 you were able to score using a slap- or jump shot. From now on you can also beat the keeper with our first ever trick-shot, the lob. It’s a special element in the 7m-shootout, where it can be used to improve the scoring-percentage significantly. If you like you can change the configuration for the 7m-shootout including the lob in the section “Configuration” separately.
A new gym:
To make sure players can train in a new atmosphere you can now unlock a new gym or just buy it with your credits in the shop. The new gym includes a parquet floor and a stand, also with a lot of glass, that’s why it’s called “Crystal Palace”.
High-score:
Until now you had to remember your best results from all the different games and levels to compare yourself with your friends. We changed that and now you can find your high-score with your personal record below each mini-game in the menu. The current world ranking will stay existent.
