Screenshot of the new level, running in the unity editor

Over the last year or so, I've been quietly working on the game, less frequently than before perhaps, but I thought I should finally put in an update so that the game doesn't die unfinished!

This update features some good improvements to the powerup system, there are triple as many powerups, new ones that can affect the paddle in various ways, and added some nice VFX to the acid/fire destruction. I have also reworked the ball system to handle multiple balls (lol) so there's a fun new powerup to look forward to next update...

Also, two very worthwhile additions to the game - a new level, and a quit button! Yes, the game finally gives you means to close the game without using Alt-F4.  This new level expands the space themes of level 4 and features new music, plus a fair few powerup drops for you to test out the new ones.

When I came back here after so long, I was also surprised to see how popular this dev diary became, over a hundred views (each, over 500 total) is not bad considering it's still in alpha!
