Bugs and features
Back to channel|
I've been playing this awesome game for quite some time now but I've been wondering if the dev team still updates AB.
And if they do, is it only bug fixing or are they still planning on features or even extra missions? I'm asking this because I've ran into quite some bugs in my hundreds of plays and was wondering if things are still added to the game or if it's a completed 'product'. For I have had random ideas that would improve and/or enhance the game. (spray-painting your envelope, drill-ball and more that I can't come up with right now) I'm also still wondering where my 26th power up is as promised on the frontpage. |

As far as I know, the Devs aren't making any updates, except bug fixes and data back-ups.
And my guess is that your 26th power up is either [P] or [K], as they are (among) the rarest power ups Click here to check all the power ups and details about them |

They only fix major bugs these days and it seems they're core concerned with getting AB out in more languages.
There are many minor bugs out there but so long as they don't interfere with the game play too much they're left to their own devices. |

And my guess is that your 26th power up is either [P] or [K], as they are (among) the rarest power ups
No, the rarest powerup is U, it's so rare that it doesn't exist! |

Yeah, the U powerup is the one missing, there are only 25, front page says 26.
Secondly, there are quite some bugs around in thie game and I suffer at least one of them every 3 plays. Things like the starting ball having an awkward angle when firing it once you have a bigger envelope, it still acts like the starting ball comes off a small paddle. It's impossible to aim your first shot right. And the Regenerate powerup being able to make one impossible to die if you spawn a ball ofscreen. Tho more of a glitch than a bug, seeing it helps and all. I ran into a few others, but I can't think of it from the top of my head. I also had done some research about the Karbonis Belt... and that a few months ago before an update the belt was a planet, is there perhaps another update coming with such features? |
|
That update wasn't a few months ago, it was years ago. I can't really see any upgrades coming any time soon as with the game and nightmare mode there isn't really a need.
|
|
New features can never be bad though.
|
|
They are for the programmers who have to make the new features.
|
|
It's been quite a while since the last update. There have been a ton of new games coming out recently, though, and I wonder if the developers will be going back through and updating the old ones soon. (Or maybe not, and we'll see Alphabounce 2 on the schedule for 2011.)

I had a thought, what if they added sound to the game. Like sound effects for the different powerups and maybe a cash register sound for when you hit a mineral brick. Of course for people who don't like sound there could be an option to turn it off.
