High Speed Chase 2: Boost and Repel
Boost is your classic awesome power-up that injects a wealth of Nitros oxide into the fuel powering the engine. It makes the pistons work overtime which, in turn, means your wheels refuse let the tarmac get in the way of their spinning.
Repel eludes surrounding drivers into thinking you're an undercover police car, they head into alternate lanes to make way for your special mission.
"Boost and Repel" together are an unstoppable force. Without anything in your way boost will send you upwards of 200mph. Just enough to scrape that hard to get medal? Just hope those winding roads don't stop you first.
We're 6 out of 13 through in the series of power-ups you'll find in High Speed Chase 2. More tomorrow!
Look forward to playing with Boost and Repel in the upcoming High Speed Chase 2 web game here on JohnnyTwoShoes and in the upcoming 2.5 iPhone update.
High Speed Chase 2: Pulse and Monster
Pulse sends out audio and electrical interference that will disable all vehicles in a set radius. You'll see drivers panic as they lose control of the brakes and come crashing to halt. It's particularly useful when you're surrounded by cops.
Monster sends a signal to your wheels which are then inflated to four times their regular size and reinforced with metal traction. Though monster does bring your top speed down, it lets you open up and drive OVER other traffic.
"Pulse and Monster" — It's about getting these two amazing power-ups at the same time and using them in combination to take advantage of those stale traffic jams and sitting cops.
Just 2 more of the 13 power-ups coming in High Speed Chase 2.
Look forward to playing with Pulse and Monster in the upcoming High Speed Chase 2 web game here on JohnnyTwoShoes and in the upcoming 2.5 iPhone update.
High Speed Chase 2: Web Version
We've mentioned a lot about the upcoming release of the iPhone update, but what we may have failed to make obvious is that High Speed Chase 2 IS coming to the website as a fully featured flash game in its own entirety.
I hope that clears up the confusion between the iPhone and web versions of the game.
High Speed Chase 2: Springs and Wings
Spring is a power-up designed to launch your car into the air from anywhere, use it to jump over cars, avoid head on collisions or to start a chain of bunny jumps across traffic.
Wings are a special kind of power-up that trigger the wings built into your gadget packed sports car, you've got to be mad to release them on the road but hit a jump and they'll keep you gliding until the power-up runs out hopefully landing squarely on your target car.
"Springs and Wings" — It's about getting these two amazing power-ups at the same time and using them in combination to get in the air from anywhere.
Just 2 of the 13 power-ups coming in High Speed Chase 2.

HSC2: Rhino Power-Up
Introducing RHINO, the power-up you saw in that forum picture. It makes your car coated in armour plating and actually gives you more mass/weight to push through traffic. It's really fun through on-coming traffic.
We'll be introducing more power-ups over the next few days, this is 1 of 13

Weapon Blueprints Found
We'll probably get shutdown by the department of defense, but I found these blueprints and I'm trying to work out what they're for. It says headlamp machine guns. I might find some more over the next few days, until then let's try and work out how we could use these?
