I don't know how bosses work but having to deal 5 million damage to a boss to get a skill point is pretty nuts. If prestige resets skills then you should really lock bosses until players have a high level of prestige to actually fight them and make them worth doing...
You don't even get money for hitting a boss during a boss fight, whatever you go in with is what you get. Doesn't feel like this was effectively play tested.
Also, power ups only lasting 30 seconds that you can use once?! With a totally patronizing "Use them wisely." Yeah, the wise choice is to just not use them because most of them are entirely useless.
Using the double gold is the only one that makes sense and really, just get to level 20, double the gold, prestige and keep doing it until you can get to level 100 extremely quickly... What a pointless mechanic..
I think your issues might just be fixed by prestiging more often. It resets all the power ups. Personally I like to pop the 2x money right at... I think it's 1000, when it switches from being basically all black bricks to regular bricks
can you also do boss fights offline or does it just gain you money
Also, the game doesn't seem to run if I unfocus the tab. I'm playing on Firefox, on Linux, using sway (wayland) window manager.
So, to get offline gains, do you have to actually close out the game (so then when you start it up again it calculates your gains based on the timestamp)?

This was fun! I kinda got bored and decided to poke at the save file to see what does what lol. I may have missed something, but I saw that there is currently no way to save with “Off” set for effects level, you’ll probably want to re-factor that to an int instead of a boolean value as off/low are both set to 0 with “low” being what gets read in. Also, options > laser effects doesn’t seem to write out either.
There’s also a weird glitch I encountered where importing the save would take a second and then break the ability to import/export (or sometimes even leave menus) - you have to refresh the page to get the functionality back.
Note: This is in the web version, browser: Floorp, OS: Arch (btw lol)
[EDIT] I didn’t realize how old this game was, my b.

this shows you dont need fancy graphics or loads of polish for an addicting game loop. That said I would pay money to see this game with a bunch of JUUUIICE!!
I'm kind of shocked at how OP the laser is. This game that is all about balls of various sorts, and yet the most OP thing is the laser that can clear most of the stage by itself in a few seconds, demolish gold bricks, etc... I find myself struggling to bother to upgrade the various balls because they seem pointless now.
Hello! I would like to make a fan remake of this game. I loved it when I was younger, and think it would be a nice project. It would be great if I had your permission!
I would love to see this, and I'd be totally willing to provide art and/or music for it! I used to be a huge fan, but was always disappointed due to the lack of content. Of course, I'd completely understand if you wanted to work alone
I am working on it now! I have done some art and music already and have lots of ideas for new balls (: I have been using pixel art, here is a screenshot. School is about to start so my main concern would be consistency working with someone else. Thanks for your interest in the project, I'll let you know when I have a working beta (:
It'd be pretty cool if you added more unique upgrades, ex: the basic ball being given optional effects to set it aside from other balls. Also, I'd be willing to pay money for this :eyes:
There will be an experience system for the balls, and you will be able to swap balls for many different ones with unique properties (that's why poison ball isn't there, I felt it shouldn't be one of the original balls). It will probably be a long time until I finish development (goal maybe this summer?) and I recently created a devlog page for it, you can check it out at https://secretcoder123.itch.io/idle-bounce. I plan on making it free if only because I want it to be available to kids the way this one was to me (: Thanks for taking interest in my project!!
the freezing effect for bosses seems to be bugged? it says "freeze for 15 seconds" but it freezes for 4.5 minutes instead (and no, it isn't lag; healing effects and timer still run down at the correct time)

I just took the 2 gold from level 20 and prestiged over and over until I maxed everything out, then the game is too easy.

when i install the game for windows it wont run its doesnt even open
Extremely fun, but it's a bit annoying that sometimes the balls clip right through the bricks at high speeds.
I had to force myself to stop playing, it was that good!
this game is so good
Simple but highly addictive!
i think i go less than 1fps

You should add to the power-ups that it’s once per prestige. I held onto them waaaaay to long thinking they were one time only.
Nice take on an old classic!!

Working on it, except it will be free (:
Hi, I played your game and made a video about it. Just wanted to let you know.
I love this. It's not really a game. It's more like a psychological tool.
