Improved ball varieties – From rubber to classic and beyond, each more valuable than the last.

Actually, the Golden Ball is available in the demo! However, the Skill Tree is indeed locked for now and will be coming in the full version. :)

yeah but bad news performance isnt changed much i have this and its lagging heavy

Since I’m developing the game alone, it takes a bit more time to pinpoint and fix these deep performance issues, but I’m actively investigating what’s causing the heavy load. Thank you for your feedback.

cant download version 1.1.0 itch direct me direct to the first version

I've updated it for you again; is the problem solved?

The cost of the classic ball upgrades seem to be triple the cost that is stated, in this demo

Thanks for catching that! You're absolutely right, it's a bug in the cost calculation. I'm fixing it right now and I will release an update later today to solve this. Thanks for the heads up :)

nice game but after bulldozer and golden blitz upgrade it begins lagging and im at 2k sp and cant do anything with it but i wishlisted the game but a lil bug i found classic ball upgrades showing wrong price an gummy balls are much better with master scaling than classic balls

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! I will fix the lag issues and the price bug as soon as possible. I'll also look into the balancing between the balls. Thank you for wishlisting the game, it means a lot! :)
