I've been working hard to make my Free-To-Play title "Prison Ball: Full Blown" a more enjoyable and better polished game to play! Here's just a few of the things changed in this huge update to my unique Breakout / Pong combination game:
- The computer A.I. for all characters has been completely overhauled and should present even the best breakout players a run for their money!
- Shadows and polish added to characters Angela Diaz and Dante Vaughn. They look a little better and their movement looks cleaner now.
- Every brick now glimmers with sparkles of light
- Brick layout has been changed to allow for better gameplay
- Enhancements made to the re-spawning of walls to make it look crisper and cleaner
- An indicator now shows "slowdown" above the head of any character slowed down by getting hit by a poison ball from character Toxik Karess
- Balance change: Vast Shadows movement speed reduced from 9 to 7
- Balance change: Toxik Karess movement speed increased from 7 to 9
- Balance change: Angela, Dante, and Andy are stronger than DLC characters against the poison and slow movement of DLC character Toxik Karess
- Balance change: Computer A.I. is now less effective at hitting Vast Shadows ball split ability
- Balance change: Neutral blue balls now do less damage to bricks, breaking them less often
- Balance change: Deborah Fire now handles hitting Vast Shadows split balls better than ever
- Balance change: Taking over one of Vast's balls with your opposing color and hitting an interior pink brick is not the only way to destroy it and cast the light on Vast as an opponent (Hitting any brick after changing the color of Vast balls to your own destroyed it previously)
BUG FIXES:
- All characters played by the A.I no longer slide up and down without animating as sometimes happened before
- The center ball now correctly scores points for whoever breaks it free
- Respawn highlights are now correctly centered on the wall re-spawns
- Volumes of voices have been balanced better
- Deborah Fire's burning bricks no longer leave fires burning when the brick has been burned up
- Toxik Karess can no longer be affected by slowdown because an opponent changes one of his poison balls to their color. Only an opponent of another Toxik Karess can make Toxik ill and slow down briefly
- A long standing oddity where balls would never break blue and green bricks from certain sides has been fixed. Colored balls (white or black) now do damage to bricks and bricks should never take more than three hits before breaking
- Pink interior bricks now properly take longer to burn and score points for Deborah Fire
- An error that would cause black colored balls to sometimes look blurry and have no trails has been fixed
- It should now be impossible to blow yourself with the blow attack
- An error that would cause a delay in walls re-spawning due to explosions of an opponent hitting one of Deborah Fires burning bricks has been fixed
- An error that would cause Vast's balls to be able to be immediately deflected and controlled by his opponent has been fixed and now works as intended. Vast's split balls will now remain his color for a minimum of ten seconds before they can be changed to his opponents color and control
- Deborah Fire can no longer get stuck in the upper right wall when hit by a blow attack at the exact wrong time and position
- Toxik Karess's poison balls can now properly poison his opponent when they are hit in the body from behind
- Hitting your own protected center ball while it has its protective barrier with your body instead of your paddle show now always immediately free it as a neutral blue ball before your minute control timer is up
- Vast Shadows should no longer see his paddle momentarily disappear when splitting a ball in the face of his opponent
There's probably some minor adjustments and enhancements I made to the game that I am forgetting for this update, but that's the biggest improvements and fixes made in this update.
As usual, I expect fixing some of these problems and changes I made to break or cause other problems or things that need to be re-balanced.
Stay safe and do the best you can to play your part at helping everyone slow the spread of the C word out there! Thanks for reading and/or playing my game if you do!
