ploink changes
A ball limit is being introduced to encourage people to drop their balls more often since they would usually just drop one ball at a time and stockpile them.
I wasn't happy with Bacteriophage, it was a really weird peg but also very easy to abuse with no way of balancing it without changing it entirely, so it's been changed entirely... Sort of. The new bread peg is essentially just reworked Bacteriophage but it's ability didn't really fit the theme so it was also rethemed.
The Sun retheme might seem random but it's something that's been bothering me for a while. The original design for Sun was to give all pegs on the board score but that wasn't really possible so it shifted into instantly giving score when a peg is hit. This basically made no sense for the ability, yet the theme stayed. I've been wanting to change it into something more fitting but couldn't think of anything. Thankfully I didn't have to cause someone on the discord suggested a good change. I love the ear change because it brings it in line with all the other organ pegs like heart and eye.
The next update is gonna focus on a major rework to bosses.... eyes emoji...
