New Stuff

  • Ball descriptions on CheXit now pop when the effect for that direction is actively being processed. Makes it much easier to follow what is firing and when.

  • Added a little celebration moment when transitioning to the game over screen. You earned it!

  • The room now has temperature fluctuations. Keep warm!

Improvements

  • VFX for Strikers and ball effects have had a massive pass. Copy chain effects will appear at the original ball where the copy chain started.

  • The copy ball effect now also copies the secondary effect when one is present.

Fixes

  • Fixed player interaction and camera look continuing to process while the game is paused.

  • Fixed a ball being able to swap with an empty space in the Cradle, UpgradeABALL, and BallAmpPRO.

  • Fixed balls clipping through walls and surfaces when held and pushed against them. The ball now rolls along the surface instead.

  • Fixed sequential copy effects in a chain crashing the game.

Keep the feedback coming in! Tell your friends, tell your wives and husbands, as It is directly driving what gets fixed and what gets built next.
