Sprinters, ready for another Nexus update?

The Momentum Update brings a whole new perspective to CHAMPION. More mechanics, more gameplay, more freedom comes with this update than ever before.

Nexus

First, many of you may have noticed that the Creator Kit has gotten a new title. Nexus is now the home of everything CHAMPION on Jamango, and with that comes a new name, and some cool new things. More will be shown off soon!

The Lobby

With this new vision, Nexus now has a lobby. This will be the starting point for all CHAMPION levels in the world, with more and more to come. The lobby itself will expand as the game grows but aims to be the central place for everything social about the game. The level is now accessed through a portal which has the leaderboard on top of it, with more to come soon.

Reset Beacon

Started a level terribly and ended with a horrible high score? Worry no longer! You can now use the reset beacon to return to spawn and retry for a better time.

New Mechanics

Gameplay mechanics have been added and improved upon! Here's what's new:

Slippyblock

Forgot to put a warning on this one - oh well. If you see a glowing yellow block on the course, beware; Sprinters have reported falling off it (no builder was harmed in the process of adding these).

Jump Pad

You can now fly using the jump pad (kinda). You can now jump onto a pad that makes you jump higher, adding a new level of verticality to the game.

Velocity Gate

So, verticality is good and all, but what about just going fast? The velocity gate is here to satisfy your needs!

And of course…

All of these were made using the tools Jamango provides to create worlds. Soon, the Creator Kit will return as a remixable template, so you can take these and make your own CHAMPION worlds.
