Difficulty Modes! Version 1.1.0

Hey there brick breakers! Got the first major update for you today -- difficulty modes!

Here's what they entail:

EASY
- Ball accelerates half as fast.
- Uncommon power-ups spawn more often.

NORMAL
- Standard game difficulty.

HARD
- Ball's inital speed is faster.
- Ball accelerates twice as fast.
- Uncommon power-ups spawn less often (extra life still spawns as often as NORMAL).

There are no penalties to playing the game on any difficulty level. In other words, you can still receive all the achievements on EASY. But if you're interested in getting the highest score possible, HARD is the way to go, since more points are earned the faster the ball goes.
