How many towers are there? I've found circles and triangles so far so I'm just wondering.

How do you get all the secrets people are talking about??? I got all the upgrades and I literally see no way to even possibly get any secrets or other towers or whatever

At Layer 3, there's a crack in the wall. Keep hitting it, and...

I wasn't expecting to spend so much time on this! Gameplay wise, I thought that the paddle was way too slow, even at max upgrade. I also first restrained from upgrading the dash speed because it was making the game more difficult. The gameplay loop is nice, but it can be quite frustrating.

Once I finally upgraded the dash though, I discovered the "keeping momentum" power-ups, and at that point the game completely changed! It was all about optimizing the gain of coins, and significantly getting more powerful at each run.

But most importantly, I wasn't expecting so many secrets! That's what kept me really hooked. I love how it is implemented in the game design, and how they are satisfying to find. I was able to discover two more towers (and some hidden power-up), and both were really cool discoveries. The upgrades they provide also complement the game really well, and make it extremely satisfying to re-visit the first tower. For some I'm almost sad that they appeared so late in the game, when I was already basically invincible.

This experience reminded me of the ones I had with rogue-likes like Binding of Isaac, Inscryption or Noita. Seeming simple at first but actually full of secrets. It was a very great journey!

Small note about the web version: I wish the game was playable full-screen. Sometime my cursor would go outside of the frame and lose focus on the game.

maxxed everything from all 3 towers, and got the floaty power up, is there anything else for me to do? 

How do you get to the circle tower?

(+1)

i think im winning, are there any other towers besides square circle and triangle?

I think there is a circle tower but I'm not sure how to get it,

he said besides circle

oh mb i didnt see that

(+1)

This game is so fun! It's hard to stop playing, since there's more and more to find, upgrade, and play with!

(+2)

the power of upgrades

how do you get there? (im at same ish progression, 500k stars in one go)

its floating in the sky between the circle and square towers

oh boy I'm terrible at this XDDDDDDD

tried to find the top of the tower going outside and going up. Spend 3 minutes 59 seconds and 1 milesecond falling.
Best game

cool, a simple and fun game

Anyone else win by getting to the top?

(1 edit)

I got up to hot pink layers and assumed it will just keep cycling tru colors

it stops sometime after pink layers then you win

or you can win by breaking the glass

i can only go up to 20x mult (i have everything maxxed) before my lives run out, im using a crappy laptop so its incredibly laggy and the game is hard for it to run

(+1)

Got out of main tower with only 2 Dash upgrades, managed to get to triangle and sphere towers, then spend almost an hour trying to get back to main one before finding "return" button in the menu while considering seppuku

10/10

It's a good game, but there's one bug:

Sometimes the ball flies at high speed to the upper floor, bounces off an obstacle, flies at high speed to the lower one, and the game begins to respawn the ball below the maximum level, which leads to a gradual decrease in the number of additional lives. After that, the ball hovers in the air and does not react to anything

this game is so fun!! Silly ball go ZOOM!

broke the glass and now im stuck

same

i restarted then the glass came back, try that if you haven't

nvm you just have to click

awesome game! loved it

paddle width upgrade did not persist through restart and load

By far the funniest block-breaking game I've ever played. It just keeps giving and giving.

(+2)

It’s a breakout game with upgrades. It still is, but I didn’t expect the funny thing to happen.

oh no i can't stop playing
