2023-02-02

This update introduces a new hotkey, as well as the ability to rebind other hotkeys. There's also some slight balance adjustments and bug fixes. Hotkeys • Added a hotkey to shoot straight down, regardless of the cursor position. By default, this is bound to the right mouse button. • Added a menu to rebind hotkeys. This is available in the options menu. Balance • The difficulty of the Desert biome has been slightly reduced • The ball’s maximum possible speed has been reduced • Fan of Knives changed from activating every 6 shots to activating after using 6 ammo Bug Fixes • Fixed a bug where the clone ball would sometimes not shoot properly • Fixed a bug where the clone ball could disappear after being eaten by a Shark or Hand • Fixed a bug where the ball trail would get longer whenever it got eaten by a Shark or Hand

I was a bit surprised by Whackerball, while I thought it was pretty awesome and challenging, I also beat it in my first try. Maybe I am a beast at Breakout and just don't know it yet? The game also shares a lot of similarities and upgrades with "Downwell", which is a game I adore, so maybe I was trained already hehe. It's a great game. I plan on playing a bit more :>

Whackerball is like Downwell and Arkanoid fused with music that goes so incredibly hard that Whackerball becomes a full body experience. You are a paddle, keep the ball from falling, but you must avoid enemies. You can bounce the ball into enemies to harm them or EMPTY A CLIP into them point blank, provided you can account for the velocity that pushback will cause, so where do you need to be to bounce the ball...
