Changes Fitts Protocol: bubble points are round numbers now. A Default is worth 10, then 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 up the waves, and a Booster is worth 1000. Burger jackpots and skull charges scale with the new values, so runs score higher than before at the same skill. Helix Discovery: gems give more XP. Every gem in the mode is worth one and a half times what it was, so power picks arrive a littl...

Changes Fitts Protocol: accuracy counts the bubbles you let vanish. Accuracy is now hits out of every chance you had - every click you made plus every bubble that shrank away unclicked. Letting bubbles escape lowers it, just like a missed click. Fitts Protocol: you can tell when a bonus runs out. A globe's lamp pulses through its last second, then fires a quick release - a ring collapsing into the...

NEW ARCADE GAME: FITTS PROTOCOL A new game on the bedroom arcade cabinet. No powers, no auto-pop - just you, your mouse, and bubbles that shrink away. Click the bubbles before they vanish. They appear full size and shrink to nothing. Click them yourself - the X Key works too.You have 3 lives. Click empty space and you lose one. Lose all three and the run ends. A rare Heal globe gives one back.Don'...

Changes Helix Discovery: Nuclear Power is now truly nuclear - the blast wave hits every bubble, boss and mine with double your damage and can crit, and it burns away enemy fire - drone lasers, golden coins and spine mines no longer sail through a detonation Helix Discovery: the mushroom cloud got a visual pplishment Helix Discovery: your main weapon now stands out from your extra guns - it draws b...

Fixes HELIX DISCOVERY - fixed a freeze on death. Getting hit at the exact moment you picked a power (the Medkit especially) could leave the run stuck with the clock still running. The board now holds the instant you click for a power, so your heal is always instant, and a run that ends always reaches the results screen. HELIX DISCOVERY - the boss trophy globe now drops when that boss dies. If a lo...

Changes The Spine and The Core were re-tuned on every difficulty - The Core asks for far less XP at every gate, The Spine's later gates rise to meet it, and the old x24 wall between them is now a gentle step. Blood Feast and Full Flood are Easy-only. The Vampire's empowered blood and The Ball's pre-flooded board now exist only on Easy - Hard and Insane play them straight. The Legendary and Mythic ...

Changes Bubbles popped now bank when you Extract. Your lifetime pop count - and the achievements and power unlocks tied to it - grows at the moment you extract, matching everything else the run banks. A run lost to a game over or surrender banks nothing. Arcade mini-games no longer count toward lifetime pops; BUBBLEATHON does, on Extract, like the main game. Achievements pop the moment you earn th...

Fixes Main game The run could freeze after alt-tabbing out and back - the board stopped responding while the menu, surrender and restart still worked. This is the soft-lock some of you hit more than once. Note the new behaviour: alt-tab no longer pauses the game at all - press ESC first if you want it paused, like most games. Genie Lamp picked up in the last seconds before an extraction checkpoint...

BALANCE Long runs now end. Previously enemy health and your damage grew at exactly the same rate forever, so nothing could ever kill you and a run could not finish. Enemies no longer die to a single bullet in the late game. An enemy now costs the same number of hits deep into a run as it does at the start, so your power comes from your build - crit, weapon levels, pierce, chain, split, the multigu...

Balance The TV, The Vampire and The Ball ask for less XP and easier in Easy mode.Arcade games cost less at full price: the coin cap is back down to 44 mystery globes. HELIX - The Drone's missiles hit softer: 12 damage per beam (was 15), on every visit.HELIX - golden bubbles' coin shots hurt the core less: 6 damage (was 10) - a leak still matters, but a swarm of coins no longer melts you.HELIX - mo...
