Not content with having just launched a new song pack, the team at Kluge Interactive has announced a new update to the endlessly enjoyable Synth Riders. Following the release of the Current Wave music pack last month, Kluge has seen fit to release a new update for the Challenges+ mode.

In this update, players can look forward to dealing with a series of obstacles previously tied to the multiplayer battle mode, where you try to sabotage the other player through all sorts of trickery. But now, these power-ups have been unshackled from the multiplayer mode and are now in the hands of the developers to add to the curated "Challenges+" mode.

Kluge will pick which powerups to pair with which challenges, but their placement within a tune will be decided algorithmically. The power-ups you can look forward to dealing with are:

Invaderz
Alien invaders target you with missiles
Warp
The gameplay stretches and speeds up
Embiggen
Notes get much larger
Minimize
Notes get much smaller
Prismatic
Changes notes into rainbows
Vanish
Notes turn invisible, and the rails become single notes
Random Colors
Mixes up the colors of notes and items

And in even better news, the update is free and available now. Is this enough to get you to boot the game back up? Sound off in the comments section below.
