The BREACH demo just got a new update!

This version expands the gameplay with new time-based cards, improves balancing, and adds multiple quality-of-life refinements to make each run smoother and more dynamic.

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

📜 Patch Notes – V0.3.0 📜

Gameplay

New Aiming System

• A crosshair has been added to aim all fired balls with precision.

New Ball Firing Flow

• Added a fire-delay system when multiple balls are launched simultaneously (cards can now modify this behaviour).

Removed Normal Mode

• The demo now focuses entirely on the core roguelike mode to improve clarity and progression.

Removed Old Level Timer

• The restrictive timer system has been removed to create less frustration and more flexibility in each run.

Luck / Bad-RNG Protection

• New “force luck” mechanic:
  If no power-ups drop after destroying many bricks, one will be forced to spawn.

• Same system added for Epic & Legendary cards in the inter-round shop.

Cards

Brand-new Cards

• NEW – Straight Shot: shoots fired balls straight upward.

• NEW – Auto Fire: automatically fires whenever a ball touches the paddle.

• NEW – Brick Chance: 5% chance to spawn a ball whenever a brick is destroyed.

• NEW – Angle-45 Shot: launches balls at multiple fixed 45° angles.

• NEW – Risque de la Bombe: 5% chance to trigger an explosion when breaking a brick.

• NEW – Uzi: greatly increases firing rate but spreads launched balls more widely.

Reworked Rarity & Changes

• EDIT –  Brick Luck is now Legendary
  → 5% chance to spawn your starting round balls on brick destruction.

• Complete rarity system added (Common / Rare / Epic / Legendary).

System & UI Improvements

  → Added a notification popup when a card is unlocked.

Bug Fixes
