Bubbly v0.5.9.0

Performance

• Massively reduced FPS drops and lag spikes on full boards and during huge pop chains

• Fixed slowdowns that could build up over long play sessions

Leaderboard

• Fixed your rank showing wrong when you're outside the top ranks

Fixes

• Fixed bubbles that could become permanently unpoppable after a boss intro

• Pausing now truly pauses the game. No more pops, sounds, chains, or boss attacks sneaking through while paused

• Fixed 100% Rare Bubble Chance still spawning default bubbles from Some Balls / Ball Pit

• Weapon pickups now start their max-level intro instantly instead of acting level 0 for a moment

• Black Hole's pickup intro reworked: 5 seconds of dragging the whole board into its center, empowering every bubble it swallows, before settling into its normal cycle.

• "Power unlocked" cards now appear the moment the Steam achievement pops, not at your next power choice

• The menu's CRT screen effect no longer pops in late after finishing a run

Changes

• Bubbles destroyed by bosses now implode dark instead of bursting bright, you can instantly tell your pops from the boss's kills

• Board Dryer reworked: now a Mythic Pumper! every pulse permanently grants +1% XP per empty bubble slot for the rest of the run

• Quad Barrage can now appear in the Tide Pack at post-10-minute gates

• Powers that can't work anymore due to conditions no longer fail silently, you now get a clear "FIZZLED" card with an error sound telling you which power gave you nothing
