Bubbly

ADDED The boss you select on the Locations map now glows around its outline, in the colour of the difficulty you picked. FITTS PROTOCOL: Immunity, 2X Points and 2X Size now show on the board while they run - a gold edge, a blue grid and green corners - so you can see when each one starts and ends, even all three at once. HELIX DISCOVERY: your buffs now show on the DNA core, each on its own part - an Energy drink turns the helix molten gold, Icecream drops a scoop of strawberry ice cream into the bottom of the core, RNA lights the rungs in rainbow with a spark on every crit, the Infuser opens a firing port that sweeps round the rim, and Multigun lights one node on the rim per clone gun. CHANGED FITTS PROTOCOL and the BUBBLE MACHINE now play inside a real screen: the top bar is built into its frame, and the game sits behind glass with rounded corners. HELIX DISCOVERY: fusing two weapons no longer zooms in - both weapons fly to the centre of the board, braid, slam together and fly back to their slots. HELIX DISCOVERY: at maximum attack speed the DNA core keeps its overdrive inside the core the halo, rays and rings around it are gone, with or without an Energy drink. HELIX DISCOVERY: the Infuser no longer tints the whole core light blue - its firing port on the rim shows it instead. Legendary and Mythic power picks now open with a bigger sting than the lower rarities. The arcade games' music now plays at the same level as the rest of the game's music. Many sounds in the arcade games and the main game now play at the pitch they were tuned to. FITTS PROTOCOL: after you pass your personal best, the low tone pulses softly while you keep popping instead of stacking under every pop. The checkpoint power pack's powers now fly into the power bar and charge it as each one lands, instead of charging it when the pack opens. The checkpoint power pack opens with new sounds of its own. BUBBLE MACHINE: with no mystery globes the console now tells you where to find them, and a locked w...

ADDEDThe Bubble Machine in the submarine is open: feed it 1 mystery globe, pick a weapon and a bubble you own, choose AUTO-CLICK or MANUAL, and pop with no score, no timer and nothing to lose.HELIX DISCOVERY: poison and bleed now show on bubbles and bosses, even under ice.HELIX DISCOVERY: a dying boss drops a pile of gems around its bonus globe - sweep your rounds over them to collect.HELIX DISCOVERY: the DNA core goes into overdrive at maximum attack speed, and burns gold on an Energy drink.HELIX DISCOVERY: new effects - each weapon kills in its own style, boss hulls crack as they lose health, crit lightning, a heartbeat when your core is low, and more.CHANGEDThe Magnet's pulse is rebuilt with glowing rings and light streaks. It follows your crosshair and respects No shake/flash.The main-game monitor and the arcade cabinet wake up when you hover them.The HELIX DISCOVERY screen in the arcade menu is rebuilt.HELIX DISCOVERY: every weapon's round is redrawn, and a round carrying several weapons wears all their colours braided together.HELIX DISCOVERY: collected bonus globes fly in on a comet.FIXEDThe Camera on Insane: reward cards, bubble shops, Bubbly Plus and Bubblemancer now pick what your cursor is on.HELIX DISCOVERY: tiny poison and bleed ticks no longer read "0.0".Pocket Flame, Red Pepper and CO-myst sounds now end with their effects instead of piling up over a run.PERFORMANCEHELIX DISCOVERY: all rounds draw in one pass, so bullet-heavy builds cost far less per frame.

CHANGED HELIX DISCOVERY: The Ball fights differently. It no longer sits in a corner - it circles the DNA core, fast. You still get 10 seconds with your full weapons; then it attacks with the same blackout wave as in the main game and your weapons drop to the basic shot. Hit it 18 times and it lets go of your weapons for good, so you can finish it off with everything you have while it keeps circling. Its circle sits right at the edge of the biggest Venom Field you can build (max level plus every Chromosome), so only a fully grown field can reach it. HELIX DISCOVERY: The TV has a little less health (650, was 750). HELIX DISCOVERY: The TV attacks differently. Its screen now shows a question mark instead of one bubble, and the attack is a mixed group: 6 bubbles of random types - any bubble in the game except the Moon - appear all around the edge of the board at the same moment and close in on the DNA core from every side (it used to drop 4 of one type under the TV). HELIX DISCOVERY: the red button now destroys everything on the board except the boss itself. The Drone's laser shots in the air die with the wipe (they used to fly straight through it), and bonus globes are wiped along with the gems. Red Touch keeps your rewards as before - when its roll wins, the globes stay too. FIXED HELIX DISCOVERY: your weapons now hit a boss's summons and shots, not only bubbles and the boss. The Helix Bolt chain and Venom Arc (Poison Round + Helix Bolt) reach The Spine's mines and golden coins, Prism Lance bounces into mines, coins and laser shots, Gore Round's blast catches them, and the Cryovenom Volley cone swats golden coins. Shooting a mine, a coin or a laser shot also sets off your chain, lance or blast from it, exactly like hitting a bubble.
