Awesomenauts’ recent update, Patch 1.13, has Mojang and Ronimo joining forces! Robotic character, Clunk, has been given a brand new skin and sound effects that creepily familiar.
That’s right: Clunk has been granted a special Creeper skin on Awesomenauts, mostly because his explosive abilities closely resemble the infamous Minecraft mob. If you pllay the game over on Steam (sorry Xbox players, nothing here for you), look forward to trying out the new skin for Cunk, by turning him into the epic “Creeper Clunk”.
It was a dark and stormy night. You run around the Awesomenauts base, but too late you realize that remote spot in the back where you forgot to place a torch. You look around frantically but can’t spot a thing... until... SSSSSSSsss BANG! Creeper Clunk is all up in your grill!
This skin won’t be available right off the bat, however. Players will have the opportunity to unlock Creeper Clunk when they enter into an online multiplayer match. Members of the Ronimo development team will be adorning it in the next few days, requiring you to kill them or anyone else who’s wearing the skin, before it’s yours.
This new skin for everyone’s favorite Awesomenaut, Clunk, can’t be bought or downloaded anywhere! The only way you can get it is to hunt one down in-game and kill it dead!
Fans of both games (such as myself) will absolutely love the new animation of Clunk’s nuke and the pixelated Minecraft pick in-hand. Get out there and find those Creeper Clunks! Finally, I’ll leave you all with the 1.13 patch notes from Romino’s blog as well:
Patch 1.13
New features
- Creeper Clunk skin! Obtain the unique Creeper skin by killing an enemy Clunk wearing the skin. Initially only developers have it, and we will be playing using the skin in the coming days. Try and beat us!
- Matches will now start with full teams much more often. The host of a game now waits for six players to be ready before starting the match. It waits a maximum of two minutes and then always starts. The time the host spends in the Character Select and Loadout Select menus is deducted from the waiting time, so the maximum waiting time is the same as before (the average waiting time is longer now).
