When we were introduced to the threat facing humanity in Colossatron: Massive World Threat, the dreaded metal beast had dropped into Metro City, wrecking havoc everywhere it went, with only General Moustache and the military to combat it. Now Action News 6 has some breaking news (which you can view below), as scientists try to understand how the Colossatron works and, more importantly, how to stop it.

From the creators of Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride, Colossatron: Massive World Threat puts players into the shoes (or, er, tail if you prefer) of a massive robotic snake, one that must cause as much destruction as possible. The key to victory is extending the Colossatron with red, yellow and blue Powercores, with each colored segment representing a different weapon or ability. Combining these to form new colors will build stronger Powercore tiers, and more “explosive secrets.” Halfbrick encourage players to experiment with different build strategies to see which hold up best in the heat of battle.

Colossatron: Massive World Threat will also include competitive and cooperative social features (more details on this promised to come soon) which will allow players to compare or combine their destructive powers.

Colossatron: Massive World Threat is set to release on mobile devices, and will be crash landing sometime this year. Stay tuned for more news, remember that "peace is for sissies," and look out for that poor soul in the yellow suit in the back of the video below.
