Balls, balls, balls! ★★★ HOW TO PLAY ★★★ • Use the mouse to direct your cannon • Blast the balls • If you need to at any time, press SPACE to pause • Collect the coins dropped • Use them to upgrade yourself, and become even more powerful! ★★★ HELP ★★★ === The Stats === • BPS: stands for 'bullets per second'. Increases your fire rate. • Damage: increases the amount of damage each bullet inflicts to a ball. • Coin Earning: increases the number of coins each ball may drop and increases the amount of coins each one gives you. • Speed: increases your bullet and movement speed. === Debugging === • Press 'D' to debug. • Press 'T' to toggle particle effects. (helps reduce lag) ★★★ NOTICES ★★★ • The balls cannot display health above a certain amount, so while it may show '250' health, it might be above that. • Everyone shares the same account, meaning that anyone can collect coins and upgrade. • This will not work if you are a 'New Scratcher' - since you can't use cloud variables, none of your progress will be saved. Share a couple of projects to reach full Scratcher status! • Powerups, skins and backgrounds are planned for a later update; for now, higher BPS means cooler-looking bullets. ★★★ RESET LOG ★★★ Last Reset: •12:34 pm [12:34 GMT] as of May 12 2020 ★★★ TAGS ★★★ #BallBlast #Balls #Blast #Voodoo #Shooter #Blaster #Satisfaction

All Cloud Variables Reset. ---v0.7.0--- 10/03/20 This update brings tons of improvements and changes! Many bugs have been fixed, although new ones have arised. What's New: •Balls can now display up to 125 health •Added a pulse effect when you hit the balls •Balls now change colour relative to health •They will be slightly knocked back when bullets hit them - the higher your Bullet Damage, the more knockback! •Added bullet skins - purchasing will be added later Bug fixes and improvements: •Cannon no longer vibrates (weird vector stuff) •Bullets now shrink at higher levels, so that you can shoot more at a time •Cloning checks 4 times a second, so that your BPS will be even more accurate, but I'm afraid to make it any higher in case it lags out the game (which it kinda already does) •Splash screen bug fixes ---v0.5.0--- 29/02/20 Major milestone in the pre-development stage! Full list of developments: •Splash screen completely finished, with all animations working smoothly •Cloud upgrading and cost formulas all done •Cannon sprite finished, along with shooting animation •BPS system and bullet arrangement/de-aligning checks 2 times per tick, allowing for more accurate shooting •Balls bounce at a steady rate, with little to no glitches, and can display up to 80 health Bug fixes: •Fixed the bug where bullets de-align when you move the cannon really fast •Fixed the bug where the balls spaz out of the arena when you hit them with high Bullet Damage •Fixed the costumes bug •Cloning and ghost effect bug fixes •Performance updates and more Thanks for playing! ---v0.0.1--- 12/02/2020 It's official: I'm restarting the project of Ball Blast on Scratch. Hopefully I won't give up like last time, and also the scripts will be much improved so that the balls take the right amount of damage when you have insane BPS. Let's see what we can do! ★★★ OTHER ★★★ Whoever proposed this to be featured, thanks! But it probably won't get featured.
