Hello Brick Breakers fans. The longer we are in this classic zone to more related games we find and all are special in their own way, so I made a little shout-out to some of them below. But for now, not the biggest update but perhaps the most visual update since a while. Here is some eye-candy!

We are finalising the game menu, or more specifically, the level select. Still with our stubborn approach :). Welcome to Kabonk!

When you first enter the 'level select' you will see three major themes stand out. Without to much words, just enjoy some motion.

No longer a secret, no longer a work in progress*. Here is the first look of an achievement!

Next to these major overhauling we have added or changed the following:

• Improved overal lighting;

• Added more contrast between game elements and environment;

• Changed the colors of the 3, 2 and 1 hit bricks to red, yellow and green with a more clean look;

• Fixed sound bug where music would reset on some effects;

• Added sound volume options for sound effects and music;

*There is always work in progress. So, until next time!

• Fixed a bug where many of the tasks given can't be completed.
  
• Fixed the market shop stairs where NPC keeps getting stuck at.
  
• Give the player slightly more ingredients at the beginning.

• Fixed issue where movement was tied to wrong update type
  
• Fixed multiple issues regarding camera stutter
  
• Fixed issue with UI when starting NG+
  
• Replaced old talk-bubble with temp newer version

This patch addresses several important bugs related to battle interactions and the Help Menu.

Changelog:

• Preview Tiles Not Appearing After Deselect
  Fixed an issue where preview tiles (movement, attack, and support ranges) would not appear after pressing Deselect without opening the action menu or moving the cursor. Preview tiles now display immediately after deselecting a character.

• Help Menu Not Blocking Input
  Fixed a bug where opening the Help Menu during battle did not block inputs, allowing unintended actions to occur. Battle inputs are now properly disabled while the Help Menu is open.

• Help Menu Navigation Buttons Unresponsive
  Resolved an issue where the Next and Back buttons in the Help Menu did not function during battle. These buttons now work correctly both in battle and at Erindos.

Happy Saturday!

Did you know that the developers of Valheim bought a horse after the game's success?

We want to be successful, so we bought a horse too!
Just kidding. I lied. I'm sorry.

To make it up to you, here's Saturday @ Second Half #28 — Gift Horse!

Dear space mechanics,

The system for creating items in the workshop is completely ready and in connection with this, the price of all broken items has been increased by 3 times, this update added the creation of gas cylinders, empty liquid containers and GPS trackers. All these items are created from steel, not 1 item is created at a time, but as many as indicated in the instructions.

According to the advice from the review, a counter was added to the light, now you will know how many seconds you will have enough light.

According to the advice from the review, prices were added to the store, now you will not buy blindly.

Bug fixes.

Bug#1 - The bulbs glowed dimly even when there was no light.

Bug#2 - When trying to fill empty liquid containers, even if you installed the container correctly, it might not fill.

In the plans.

According to the advice from the review, a counter will be added to all crafters.

Your review can be more powerful than any battery in the ship :)

Good luck with crafting <3
