Okay, you fast action arcade lovers, Wrecking ball beta 1 is out at www.dti.us.tt and has lots of new sound effects and bonuses. It has ten levels and two modes of game play--classic mode, called Super Breakout, in which you start by hitting the ball with your paddle--not launching it as in previous versions, and Wrecking Ball mode where you launch the ball. Nearly everything you do in the game other than checking stats and adjusting volume can be done with the mouse, but if you prefer the keyboard you can play too. (Personally, I play with both keyboard and mouse.) The newest thing, besides the modes and the fact that the bonuses actually work in this version, is that when the ball hits the ceiling, the blocks aren't the only things to shrink--your mouse-controlled paddle does too. The manual should explain everything you need to know about how to play. Oh, the bug where the paddle caught the ball is fixed--it only makes the ball move while it's moving so keyboard players don't have to worry about the unwanted paddle. If you have ideas on how to improve the game, let me know. There are more plans in the works, such as additional bonuses, but most of what I'll be doing is getting the TTS stuff out and replacing it with human speech--and oh yeah, I've decided to make it donationware--mostly because I don't have the slightest idea on programming licensing stuff and just don't feel like messing with it, so have fun.
