Hey Brick Breaker Lightspeed fans! We’ve been hard at work squashing bugs, making things more readable (because, y’know, seeing is important), and tweaking stuff that just felt… off. So, grab your paddles, ready your reflexes, and let’s dive into what’s new!

🚨 New Stuff You Didn’t Know You Needed 🚨

Countdown to a New Game: We’ve added a countdown to build suspense and give you that “I’m about to do something epic” feeling. It’s also nice not to be thrown straight in with no warning. Ready, set… well, you’ll see.

Splash Screen (Because It’s Fancy): A shiny new splash screen now graces your entry to the game. It’s like a welcome mat, but cooler.

New Visual Border for Mobile: We drew a line (literally) around the game screen on mobile to help you see where the edges are. So, no more “Wait, why isn’t my paddle moving?” moments.

🛠️ Tweaks and Adjustments (A.K.A. Quality of Life)

Keyboard Sensitivity Matched to Touch: Tired of your keyboard feeling slower than your thumbs? We fixed that. Now, all controls are in perfect harmony, like a well-conducted orchestra of destruction.

Light Mode Paddle Speed Nerf: We slowed down the paddle speed in Light Mode because it was training for a marathon and not everyone was keeping up. It’s now officially on cooldown. 🏃‍♂️

Pause Screen Ball Direction Clarity: You paused, but you still want to strategize, right? Now the ball’s direction is clearer when paused. No more mystery spins. You’re welcome.

🐞 Bug Fixes (Goodbye, Gremlins) 🐞

Multi-Ball Brick Glitch? Not Anymore: Multiple balls hitting the same brick used to end levels early. Our bad. The balls are now on their best behavior.

Paddle Hitbox Adjustment: We’ve refined the paddle’s hitbox to stop mid-air high fives with the ball. Now it’s all smooth bounces and calculated saves.

Mouse Focus Fixed: Returning to the main menu from the game over screen won’t make your mouse take a coffee break anymore. It’s now fully caffeinated and focused.

On-Screen Keyboard (For Real This Time): Mobile players, rejoice! The on-screen keyboard actually shows up when you want to edit your profile name. No more tapping at thin air.

Level Name Now Updates Correctly: The level name now changes when it’s supposed to—at the start of the level. Not halfway through, not after a brick gets smacked, but right on time.

♿ Accessibility Wins (Because Everyone Should Have Fun) ♿

Scrollbar Visibility Improved: We’ve made the news UI scrollbar pop a bit more, and now you can scroll the text with a touch. Easy peasy.

Focus Order Consistency: We fixed some minor quirks with keyboard navigation focus order. Now your tab key knows exactly where to go. No more lost-in-UI wilderness moments.

Profile Name Edit Field Visibility: The profile name edit field is now screaming for your attention. Well, not literally, but it’s a lot easier to see and tap.

That’s all for now, folks! We’re always working to make BBLs the best it can be, one fix (and fun tweak) at a time. As always, keep the feedback coming, and we’ll keep the updates rolling.

See you in the game! 🕹️🎯
