changedThe ball getting stuck bouncing between the edges of the screen or paddle for too long. Instead of waiting for 6 hits to change the angle ("unstuck" the ball), the ball will now adjust after just 3 edge/paddle hits—making the gameplay faster. You can still use the boost function at any time to get "unstuck," but if you don't want to, it happens faster now.

Astro Impact:

  • Occasional crashes late in the game (wave 8 and onwards) due to improper handling of particle effects, causing memory overload. Particle effects are now properly handled—so you can keep blasting asteroids without interruptions!
