First of all, thanks for all the reviews, it's great to see people are having a good time! This weeks' changes are huge: you can now significantly change how you start the runs. Whether it's kicking off at high speed, starting off with more balls, or even slowing down the bumper for an added challenge it's up to you!


  • Added: Madness loadout: start with three balls and one life. Unlocked by beating a complete 10 stage run.
  • Added: Sludge loadout: the bumper moves slowly but pickups spawn more frequently. Unlocked by completing a 10 stage run without losing a life.
  • Added: Tempo loadout: ball moves incredibly quickly and raise the score multiplier. Unlocked by completing a 10 stage run by raising starting ball speed.
  • Added: Leaderboards show selected loadout (existing scores are migrated)

  • Fixed: Mouse should now be locked to screen at all times
  • Fixed: Roguebreaker should now respect desktop refresh rate
  • Fixed: Toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode is faster on some hardware
  • Fixed: Fixed clicks always closing modals when they weren't meant to
  • Fixed: Fixed ball ignoring max speed and clipping through walls

  • Tweaked: Leaderboard scores are humanized (123456 turns into 123,456, and 10000000 into 10M). Hover over score to see exact count
  • Tweaked: Leaderboard entries' text size
  • Tweaked: Show 20 leaderboard entries per page instead of 100 to avoid scrolling
  • Tweaked: Sharpen leaderboard entry text and reduce font outline
  • Tweaked: UI now reacts to your mouse by scaling up and down
  • Tweaked: Reduce bomb shatter volume
  • Tweaked: Tiny performance boost on stage display
  • I18N: New store page translations!


Now's the perfect time to write a review if you were thinking about it! Big updates like this wouldn't be possible without your support, so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all!

As always, I'm @TankorSmash on Twitter and I'd love to hear what you think!

Known Issue: If you're running into issues with the game not responding once you load into a run, certain laptops with 16:10 resolutions seem to be one common root but I'm still looking for more information. If that happens to you, you can work around it by pressing M to show the cursor.

edit: July 26th hotfix, add volume tweak and minor optimization
