I implemented six 'mini games' <I>Jumping Jack, Outbreak, Barrier, Sitting Ducks, Hunter and Invaders</I>, which will come up every four normal levels in any levelset, to give you an 'extra mile' as a change from normal gameplay. These levels are all about paddle and speed control, no extras involved. They are not mandatory: loosing the ball simply means going to the next level. All of them may also be played directly as virtual levelsets. (For each one there is a short explanation in the menu.) Anyone can have fun with them but only skilled players will get high scores (>50K). <p> Besides that, I fixed the volume control (which did not work at all) and applied a security patch. | LBreakout 2.6beta | updated | LBreakout |
