BATTLE: PARTS & POWER

Duel Mode Is Now in the Demo!

Cartoon Rocket Games

Your next opponent is on your friends list.

Duel mode is now available in the free BATTLE: PARTS & POWER demo! This update also makes getting started easier, speeds up upgrade-part merging, and fixes misaligned clicks in windowed mode.

Challenge a Friend — Demo Duels

  • 15 minutes per match: Play up to 15 minutes of active combat. Preparation time before the battle does not count toward the limit.
  • Start fresh: Both players begin with one unlocked production unit and an empty item inventory. Campaign equipment stays in Campaign.
  • Build as you battle: Earn coins, open crates, equip parts, and upgrade your units while your robots fight automatically.
  • Updated random crates: Random crates in Duel now drop Common, Uncommon, or Rare parts. Epic and Legendary parts remain available through other crate options and merging.

Both players must use the latest Demo version. Demo and full-version clients cannot join the same match.

Learn the Basics — New Campaign Tutorial

A four-page illustrated guide now opens with every new Campaign save:

  • Follow Missions to discover how to unlock new parts.
  • Explore combinations with a Bow + Multishot Splitter + Ricochet Guidance example.
  • Check boss immunities before choosing your weapons.
  • Use elemental advantages to adapt your setup to the enemy.

Step-by-step prompts also guide you through opening your inventory and equipping your first weapon. Need a refresher? Click the ? beneath the three stars to reopen the guide. The Missions panel starts open on every new save, too.

Less Clicking — Bulk Merge Upgrade Parts

Put those accumulated upgrade parts to use without selecting every batch manually.

  • Choose how many copies to use or keep.
  • Preview the number of merge attempts before confirming.
  • Process the batch and see your results in one summary.

In Campaign: Inventory → Merge → select an upgrade part → Bulk merge. The usual merge rules and success chances still apply.

More Accurate Clicks — Window Fix

  • Fixed a Windows issue where buttons could respond below their visible position after starting in a smaller window, particularly Delete and Deploy.
  • The game now starts in fullscreen on Windows. Windowed and compact modes remain available during play.

Update the demo, invite a friend, and put your builds to the test!

I'd love to hear which combinations worked in your duels and whether the new tutorial made your first steps clearer. Share your feedback in the community!
