Developer Updates
Update 09.08.2009
- First boss made a bit easier.
- You cant get 0 gold anymore.
Update 08.08.2009
- Changed the gold collecting system.
Gold will now appear on the top of the stage and drop down with random velocities. Use your playerpaddle to catch these.
Therefore,the need for three arms has been eliminated ;)
Notice: Theres a maximum amount of gold that can spawn each level. You can upgrade this maximum in the shop.
- You can now fire lasers with mousebutton.
- Fixed several bugs in the music player. Turning music on and off should now allways work, and the streaming process has been improved so you shouldnt experience long breaks and songs suddenly starting in the middle of the levels or shop screen.
- Updated tutorial screens.
07.08.2009:
- Made five first levels less frustrating, and removed a great amount of indestructable bricks.
- Fixed gold exploit
- Removed bouncing effect when paddle hit the walls
-Turning off music while playing stops the music.
Paddle start friction lowered, and start speed increased.
When you upgrade the Speed and Steering attributes in the Shop between levels it will ultimatly become very nice to steer.

Cool game! The shop is ingenious, altough I actually liked collecting goldcoins with the mouse.. :)
I don't mind using the keyboard instead of the mouse at all.

Love this game, but the 1st boss is beyond impossible.

so... tell me if im wrong, but as far i see i get money for doing it very slow? isnt that somewhat paradoxal? i should get money for aiming the ball perfectly. Maybe instead of giving money for clicking a coin, have a starting amount of gold that decreases over time and goes up when you click on a coin. now 3/5
