# Premium: allow looping
Allow players to loop the game :
- keep your score
- keep 1 perk, level it up beyond the max
- ban all other perks
- unlock all upgrades in loop 1+
Hard to scale :
- concave_puck
- instant_upgrade
- etherealcoins (0 grav, maybe then start floting like helium ? maybe less viscosity)
- shocks (maybe spawn balls during the explosion ? maybe bigger explosions for this)
- ghost_coins : pass through bricks will less friction ?
- clairvoyant
# Todo
- Make fullscreen an option and turn it back on when playing
- real time stats as the option says.
- weee sound when ball lost to side or sky
- [jaceys] Counters for coins lost, misses, and boundary bounces, as well as a timer.
- people assume unbounded allows for wrap around
- coin magnet and viscosity : only one level ~2.5
- Boost Ascetism : give +2 or even +3 combo per brick destroyed
- wind : move coins based on puck movement not position
- show -N points in red when combo resets
- reach is too punishing now, maybe only reset if you hit the lowest populate row of the level, if it's not a full width row
- respawn: N% of bricks respawn after N seconds
- [jaceys] Move the restart button out of the menu, so that it is more easily accessible
- [jaceys] A visual indication of whether a ball has hit a brick this serve
- [obigre] Offer to level ups perks separately
- bring back detailed help of perks as "intel"

# System requirements
Breakout 71 can work offline (add it to home screen) and perform well even on low-end devices.
It's very lean and does not take much storage space (Roughly 0.1MB).
If the app stutters, turn on "fast mode" in the settings to render a simplified view that should be faster.
There's also an easy mode for kids (slower ball).
# Looping
Premium users can loop the game to continue player a harder and harder version of the game.
At the end of the last level of each run, they can start a new loop. They'll be taken back
to level 1, with only one of their perks, leveled up. All the other perks they used in the run
will be banned from the pool. The perk they decide to keep will gain one level, even if it was
already maxed out.
# Todo before next release
- b71 white border around dark coins
- [jaceys] Counters for coins lost, misses, and boundary bounces, as well as a timer.
- wind : move coins based on puck movement not position
- show -N points in red when combo resets
- Top down /read: punishing now, maybe only reset if you hit the lowest populate row of the level, if it's not a full width row
- [jaceys] Move the restart button out of the menu, so that it is more easily accessible
- [jaceys] A visual indication of whether a ball has hit a brick this serve
# UX
- scale concave_puck
- scale instant_upgrade
- scale etherealcoins (0 grav, maybe then start floting like helium ? maybe less viscosity)
- scale shocks (maybe spawn balls during the explosion ? maybe bigger explosions for this)
- scale ghost_coins : pass through bricks will less friction ?
- scale clairvoyant
# 29 march 2025
- Removed all previous loop only hazards
- Looping now bans all your perks except one. That one can level up beyond the normal max.
- Adjusted many perks to work beyond the max
- Split list of perks and levels in unlocks
- Asceticism now gives +3 combo per lvl
- Fortunate ball has a stronger effect
- Bigger puck : puck can now cover the whole screen at higher levels, but not more
- Corner shot : higher levels let you move further away from the play area
- Forgiving : level 2 halves the penalty, level 3 is a third ..
- Helium : stronger anti gravity at higher levels
- Implosions : works like bigger-explosions at higher levels
- Metamorphosis : coins can stain more bricks at higher levels
- Re-spawn : now delay based and probabilistic, to scale more easily with higher levels. no need to hit the puck
- sacrifice : at level 2+ the combo is doubles/tripled just before clearing the screen of any bricks
- shunt : changed the math keep 25% of combo at level 1,50% at level 2,63% at level 3,70% at level 4..
- soft reset : same math as shunt
- smaller puck : now the puck can get as small as a ball
- Unbounded : at level 2+, the top of the level is gone too
- Make fullscreen an option and turn it back on when playing
- Made the "combo lost" text last 500ms instead of the pointless 150ms
# 28 march 2025
- loop : added red/blue coins (red kill you, blue freeze puck) (removed later)
- added more hazard that were then removed
- add a toggle to switch between the “coin” design and colored bubbles
# UX / gameplay
- on mobile, relative movement of the touch would be amplified and added to the puck
- option : don't pause on mobile when lifting finger
- [obigre] Offer to level ups perks separately
- bring back detailed help of perks as "intel"
- https://weblate.org/fr/
- strict sample size red borders ?
- add some tutorial-like hints
- It's a bit confusing at first to grasp that one upgrade is applied randomly at the start of the game. Offer instead to skip lvl 1 and directly pick 4 perks, but only if you manage to clear lvl 1 with 4 upgrades.

- Overgrowth — when the ball touches a bomb brick it turns into a regular green brick and spawns 1 more bricks near it (additional levels spawn 2 additional bricks)
# graphics
- Waterline under the puck, coins slow down a lot, reflections
- webgl rendering: background gradient light map, shinier coins
- experiment with showing the combo somewhere else, maybe top center, maybe instead of score.

# extend re-playability
- hard mode : bricks take many hits, perks more rare, missing clears level score, missing coins deducts score..
