Version 1.4.0: Power Tweaking and Level Updates


I've received some feedback that launching the ball felt weird.  New players undershoot most of their shots and report that it takes a long time to gain a sense of how far they need to pull the ball back to get it where they want.  I've found that the low launch speeds are never used in almost all levels, so I made the minimum speed much faster (half of max speed).  This means that players have more accuracy where it counts (fast speeds).  

I needed to tweak the few levels that required slow launches to make them possible again, and I also changed some other levels as well!

  • L7
    • Moved 10 pt hole farther away from ramp
  • L8
    • Rotated 30 pt hole slightly 
  • L10
    • Moved the level back
    • Made the fan stronger
  • L12
    • Rearranged the fans to make a larger pathway
    • Made the cylinder spin much faster
  • L13
    • Removed the lower 30 pt hole
    • Moved the 10 pt and 20 pt lower holes to make it more likely that balls roll into them
    • Made the lower Tri Power hitbox bigger
  • L14
    • Secret Score from 200 to 170
  • L27
    • Made the ramp less janky and easier to use effectivly
    • Made moving platform faster
    • Increased the size of the 50 pt hole
  • L28
    • Added 10 pt hole
    • Shrunk 100 pt hole
    • Min score from 150 to 120
    • Secret Score from 350 to 270
      • Much harder 100 pt hole, but not as nessisary to hit it to win
  • L29
    • Made every hole larger
    • Moved -10 pt hole back
      • more likely to roll in if you go for and miss the 50 pt
    • Added 10 pt hole where the -10 hole was previously
    • Added a Lob Power on the first 10 pt hole
  • L31
    • Made 10 and 50 pt holes bigger
    • Moved 10 pt hole back to more easily catch missed balls

UI Changes

  • Made the "Instructions" button pulse on a first launch of the game
  • Added a confirmation for pressing the buttons for unlocking levels and secrets
  • Made the "instructions" screen look better on some aspect ratios
