Hey gang! Here’s the latest and greatest:

Improvements

• Tweaks made to help improve downloading time for everyone! Woo! The blue loading bar should now relay how far the initial download actually also. (Thanks Steven Upton for help here!)
• Bricks and Pickup Cubes for Powerups now have nice, crisp smooth textures (they did before but they were being compressed badly and looked all grainy). (Thanks Lexi Dugo for spotting this one waaay back! Easy to miss but hard to ignore)

Quality of Life:

• We now have a back/esc functionality to back out of menus intuitively! I.e. ESC to close Settings menu, etc. Close them menus with the pazazz you absolutely deserve. ✨

Bug Fixes 🐛

• Fixed issue where pausing and unpausing during level intro interrupts level loading in animation and causes physics issues. I don’t want to say it was hammer and nails that fixed this so… I won’t. 😇
• Fixed time distortion problems - starting a new game while previous game is in countdown will keep world paused until new countdown completes. A man in a blue phone box was quite relieved with this one.
• Fixed a conflicting error where the game would try to go fullscreen but itch also wanted to go fullscreen… the two were fighting for the chance to go screen-maximus. It’s okay, itch: you can do it.

Keep breakin’ those Bricks, gamers. 😎

Next update aimed for the 20th May!
