FAQ

1. **What is Second Chance Heroes?**
It's everything you could possibly want in a game! So long as what you want in a game is fast-paced arcade action with a warped sense of humor.
2. **When will Second Chance Heroes be released?**
Barring the sudden outbreak of a massive robot uprising, alien invasion and/or plague of zombie cheeseburgers, we will release Second Chance Heroes in the summer of 2013.
3. **How long will a single play-through take?**
Second Chance Heroes will launch with 24 levels for you to tear through and destroy... er... ENJOY. We estimate there to be roughly eight hours of content in a single play-through. Unless you're easily distracted by shiny things, in which case it could take as long as eight years to beat it.
4. **How do I unlock new characters?**
You'll start with four characters, but will quickly HUNGER FOR MORE. As a result, it's probably a good thing that you'll be able to unlock additional characters as you progress through the game.
5. **How many characters will there be?**
The game will launch with 12 characters for you to collect. NOTE: Please check with your local authorities to make sure that clone hoarding is legal in your area.
6. **Can I upgrade my characters?**
Is ketchup a vegetable? (Answer: HECK YEAH.) As you play through the game, you will collect wonderful, shiny GOOOOOLD!!!! \*ahem\* That gold can be used to upgrade the offensive and defensive capabilities of individual characters.
You can also collect Relics in our game. These strange and often quite-musty artifacts have been gathering dust (and worse) in tombs, catacombs and museum crawl-spaces for centuries, but now they're YOURS FOR THE TAKING. If you accomplish a variety of goals and challenges, that is.
And why would you want to do that, you ask? Because each of these Relics gives you the ability to supplement your characters' core abilities with special, relic-specific abilities! Before beginning a level, players can slot up to three relics that can be used by either of their chosen heroes. Relics can be swapped out as frequently as players wish (between levels).
7. **How do I buy Second Chance Heroes?**
YOU CAN'T (yet)! Currently, we are Beta testing the product, so you should TOTALLY get in on that.
We will release the game via Steam later this year. You can help us by giving us your support on Greenlight.
8. **How much will Second Chance Heroes cost?**
An incredibly reasonable amount! By which we mean, "to be determined". Soon, we promise.
9. **What if I still want MORE?**
Stay calm, we're going to get through this together. We'll be offering new level content AND playable characters via DLC at regular intervals. It's going to be awesome.
10. **What platforms will Second Chance Heroes be available on?**
Initially, we will launch the game cross-platform for both Windows and Mac OS X.
11. **Who are Rocket City Studios?**
We're a jet-powered collective of misfit dreamers guided by a series of fever dreams and an inherent awareness of magnetic North. Also, we make video games!
Half of us are in St. Johns, NL (Canada). The other half are in Huntsville, AL (USA). This is the result of a management decision, aimed at reducing the number of low-gravity jousting injuries that had occurred when we briefly worked out of an abandoned Renaissance Faire on the Moon.
