Hey!
It's been a blast working on the game through the last week, I'm glad people are enjoying the game. Reading the reviews is always fun, thanks for writing them!
This week a lot of work was done on polishing the SFX and some more quality of life changes to make the game that much more juicy to play, including better ball control.
- Added: Hit Space to start New Game from the main menu
- Added: Bomb bricks now beep right before they explode
- Added: Unbreakable bricks now 'ping' instead of silently bounce the ball
- Added: Optimized Roguebreaker to better handle dozens of balls on screen at once
- Added: Added level names to prelevel message
- Added: Added level names to level select, when choosing a level or mousing over it
- Added: Added tracked stat (and achievement) for playing a Custom Level
- Added: Added tracked stat (and achievement) for playing a Bonus Level
- Added: Added tracked stat (and achievement) for playing a Workshop Level
- Added: Achievements for picking up pickups
- Fixed: Bricks have SFX for being bounced off of if they don't shatter
- Fixed: Fixed pickup related sounds being too loud
- Fixed: Reworked a few maps whose bricks overlap the bumper area
- Fixed: Fixed install size being larger than it needed to be by removing unused assets
- Fixed: Certain 'bricks broken' achievements not working
- Fixed: Most achievement icons not appearing in the client
- Tweaked: Always show the scrollbar on the leaderboard screen to help show that the area is scrollable
- Tweaked: Tweaked the hardy bricks' outline and design to better distinguish them from each other
- Tweaked: The bumper now has a wider range of motion when bouncing the ball
- Tweaked: Remastered the main track to sound even better
- Tweaked: The bomb brick visual explosions behave like other bricks, they no longer pulse
- Tweaked: If there's no next page on the leaderboard, hide the button instead of greying it out
- Tweaked: Brick shattering sounds pitch shift upwards with your combo meter
If you like the game and haven't written a review yet, please do! I've seen a few videos of Roguebreaker out there but I'd love to watch you play the game, so if you've uploaded some gameplay, let me know here or on Twitter @TankorSmash!
Looking forward to hearing what you think of the update!
