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
