-Achievements: -Updated the images for the following achievements

  • Unlock Corrupted Arcade

  • Whoops...

  • Uh oh...

  • I should probably download an antivirus...

-Created 2 new achievements to accompany some recent changes

Other: -Added a lens distortion effect to make the game more like it's being played on an arcade cabinet

Bugfixes: -Fixed an issue where the right row of turrets in ball protectors would be facing down instead of the center of the screen.

Reasoning: -I believe that the score requirements for the arcade mode locked players out of finding a game they enjoyed if they couldn't meet the score requirement for the previous game. -For the story mode, simply removing the score requirements would have a major impact on the story, so I decreased them because I felt they were too difficult to meet. -The lens distortion looked cool

Be expecting a music update (hopefully) really soon!

Have fun :) -Matthew Bridgeman
