With this update, I introduce a pretty substantial "Hot Shot" accuracy bonus to the game for precise shooting with your laser gun. Also added to this game is a Quick Start feature to allow to skip the first five levels once you've progressed that far.. Lets' take what's new and explain each new item:


HOT SHOT ACCURACY BONUS:
——————————————————-
The reward is easy.. Simply 1,000 points multiplied by the level you achieve the shot accuracy on. (Level 5 would be 5,000 points, level 7 would be 7,000 points, etc)

To get this accuracy bonus, you'll need to be absolutely perfect with your laser fun shots. No missed shots. No hitting a ball that is already white. No hitting the wrong colored ball.

Now you'll have to balance the desire to get perfect shots with your timer counting down as well as the random light sparkles that might spawn every level. It's all up to you how you prioritize your tasks!

If you succeed at getting a "hot shot" bonus at the end of a level, you'll see a big display float up over the screen showing you how many bonus points you earned, and also hear a random chipmunk voice celebrating your successful shots.


"QUICK START" FEATURE:
——————————————————-

With "Quick Start", you'll have the ability to start at level 5 with 25,000 points and 6 lives as if you made it to level 5, scored pretty well and added three more lives yourself!

This feature should help get experienced players back into the faster action immediately without needing to go through the first five slower levels time and time again!

To use "Quick Start", you'll need to first achieve scoring 25,000 points and having 6 lives on level 5 yourself first. This will also give you a new Steam achievement as well. Once you've gotten this new achievement, using "Quick Start" is as easy as checking the box on the main welcome screen.


OTHER ADDITIONS IN THIS PATCH:
——————————————————-

* Voice checkbox added to main welcome screen, allowing you to turn on or off all voices and the mans scream when he dies

* 6 New Steam achievements all the way up to level 50 and the new "Quick Start" achievement once you unlock that feature

* 8 Different chipmunk voices will scream or perhaps even sing and mock you for scoring perfect accuracy on a level.

* Mans scream added when he dies to running out of time, getting electrocuted, or when he suffers an acid death in the safe zone

* Borders now have dark grey behind all the text, making your score, your level, your lives remaining and every other indicator easier to read

* White neutralized ball design has been changed

* Algorithm added to ball mechanics to reduce the frequency of balls slowing down or getting stuck on the edges of the screen. It's still not perfect yet but you should see this occurrence less often now.

* Average Ball Speed is now shown just below the level indicator



I hope you enjoy the new update! ..As always, let me know either in the forums or in a comment below! :-)
